So what do you think of Mason Rudolph now?

[hawaiiansteel]

30-50 for 242 yds, 1 TD and 1 INT

do you think Mason can be our franchise QB after Ben retires?

personally, I don't see it...

[Ghost]

He’s not even mediocre. This team goes nowhere with him as QB.

[brothervad]

I am leaning toward your take, but I am hearing that Ben may miss San Diego

I want to see him with a full week of taking the starter reps. Now don't get me wrong, I feel there have been plenty of backups that acquit themselves coming in unexpectedly in-game.

But I will give him some benefit of the doubt given the situation he had this week.

But like I said, I am a "leans no" right now.

[Eich]

I’ve been rooting for him. Seems like a nice, intelligent kid. But he just doesn’t have “it”. He’s really only good at one type of pass.

I’ve often seen other backup QBs come off the bench cold and make beautiful throws. Mason was just a mixed bag of a mess today.

Ben’s true successor is not on this team. But I fear that the Steelers will waste time in both Rudolph and Haskins.

[Northern_Blitz]

Same as I did before.

A low tier starter.

Based on his whole body of work, not just today.

Good to have starting if you want a high pick. Or have a high pick abd you want him to prove he can beat out a vet.

[NJ-STEELER]

I don't see the zip on the ball needed to succeed in this league

i've had that question ever since ben went down and he subbed in that year

[BURGH86STEEL]

Mason is probably a career back up.

[Eich]

I think he has some problems with mechanics too. Throwing high then throwing low.

Wants to rainbow throws that don’t need to be. Doesn’t show the proper touch on short throws.

I’m sure there are at least 10 other backups I’d prefer.

[Starlifter]

He’s flashed potential, and he looked good in college. But he’s had multiple opportunities thus far to make his case and to say it plainly - is there even a whiff of a qb controversy in the ‘burg? Many keep finding excuses. I only care about results. I think he’s a career backup, not our future and is too expensive for too little return.

Wasn’t broadcast here, but from what I read I am more concerned with the play calling, injuries, and poor tackling.

Yeah, there was all that too. And fumbles/turnovers. Fun

[JTP53609]

-Extremely flat footed in the pocket
-Has little zip on the ball
-When he misses, he misses big

tough kid though, seems nice and easy to root for, I hope he does well but I feel it’s not going to work out, give him a full week of preparation and a dryer game (I know it was bad for both teams and he has to deal with it). Hit ray ray in the end zone, hit Johnson on the slant and they are 6-3 with people saying it was a decent performance, unfortunately he missed badly with two big time mis throws.

See I thought the play calling was pretty good, Rudolph missed a wide open Mcloud Td and a wide open Johnson who gets a big first down and possibly a TD. I dont know if you saw the first TD but it was to a wide open Washington.

[Buzz]

I think MR should be gone after this season

This game reminded me why Rudolph was benched in favor of Duck.
