b'It used to be the most popular person in Pittsburgh was the backup quarterback. Now it\\u2019s the third-string or even the fourth-string QB. That depends on where Steelers\\u2019 reclamation project Dwayne Haskins lands in the passing pecking order. It\\u2019s still not clear following mini-camp just how well Haskins is doing in his Steelers\\u2019 second chance. This, after having been cast off from the Washington Football Team last season. The now 24-year-old turned his one-year starting at Ohio State into a passing prodigy pedigree that saw him taken at pick 15 in the 2019. Haskins still-unproven potential is now draft fanning the furnace-hot hype flames of Steelers Nation. Pittsburgh is a magical place where unproven passers are empty vessels into which Steelers\\u2019 fans pour all their hopes and dreams. Without doubt, Haskins, himself, is dreaming about Big Ben Roethlisberger\\u2019s soon-to-be-vacated starting job. One sports radio host is even comparing Haskins to Brett Favre. At best, he remains a work in progress. He has a rocket right arm. But one year\\u2019s work at Ohio State doesn\\u2019t make you a passing prodigy in Pittsburgh. But until we see Haskins either flash brilliance or expose his deficiencies on the field, he\\u2019ll remain the highest hope and the biggest hype behind Big Ben. That\\u2019s the way it always is in Steelers Nation. We explore all the \\u201cbest-of\\u201d and \\u201cworst-of \\u201cHaskins in this even-handed edition of the Steelers Update Podcast. So listen up, Steelers fans. And don\\u2019t miss my PennLive column on this great Haskins debate\\xa0Thursday morning\\xa0on PennLive. As usual, it\\u2019ll be packed with all the best memes bringing this football fracas in the Steel City to life.
