Mason Rudolph after a few games

[KYPITTFAN]

My biggest concern with Ruddy is his pocket awareness. He does not slide or climb in the pocket. I think this will come and not to worried. I am also concerned this dink and dunk crap the coach is calling is hampering his growth and getting him used to not looking down field. When he does go down field he gets it done. Except for today he has gotten 2 TD in every game. Open up the offense, see what happens.

What is this, MR's sixth game as a starter??? Give the kid a break.

Yup. Not easy to play QB in the NFL.

Let's see how he's doing by the end of the season.

MR is struggling reading defenses, which is why he is holding the ball so long. That is also why you see alot of his downfield throws are fades down the sideline, it is a very simple for him. The coaches are doing him a favor, they arent handcuffing him.

This. We just have to hope that, at some point, the light comes on for him. I think there's a decent chance it will.

Maybe we should remember what Ben did six games into his first season starting.

Well onto his way towards the NFL RECORD for rookie passer rating?

5th start beat and outplay Brady..126 QB rating..34 points scored.

6th start beat McNabbs SB bound Eagles...106 QB rating 27-3 win

Almost halfway to leading the team to the all time Steeler record for wins in a season?

Six games into setting the following record he still owns:

Most consecutive wins, regular season, to start a career for a starting quarterback: 15, Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh Steelers, 2004–2005

6 games in we are discussing if Rudy is a capable starter.

After 6 starts with Ben we were already discussing if he was better than Bradshaw.

Boom........

[Eich]

He just looks very average to this point. He’s not bringing anything special. He makes most throws look more difficult than they should.

[Steel Maniac]

He’s all we got; we have no other options. So let’s just watch him grow.

Didnt Ben have a more dependable running game?

We lack quickness at the RB and WR position.

Johnson is the only guy with quickness to create separation.

Washington and JuJu win with size and physicality. They are more straight line speed fast than they are quick.

Same problem at RB. No RB with any wiggle.

yeah, plus conner is hurt every other game now too. Gonna be interesting to see just what we do in the off-season to fix the many woes of the offense.
