    Steelers 3rd String Quarterback Mason Rudolph's Wild Trade Rumors Are Setting Social Media On Fire

    Story by Bob Quinn, Steeler Nation


    Mason Rudolph is officially the third-string quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers. The former third-round draft pick from Oklahoma State will spend his sixth professional season in Pittsburgh. Rudolph’s relationship with Steeler Nation is complicated and well-documented. A noisy and persistent portion of the fan base still thinks the organization and Ben Roethlisberger screwed over Rudolph.

    Rudolph is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Just ask his fans. With all due respect to the sixth-year signal caller’s fans, the Rudolph devotion is, at the very least, an unusual phenomenon. In the immortal words of the great comedian George Carlin, this is the proper answer to the Rudolph loyalists who praise his virtues relentlessly.

    “The greatest thing since sliced bread,” Carlin quips. “So this is it, huh folks? Couple of hundred thousand years, The Pyramids, the Panama Canal, The Great Wall of China, even a lava lamp to me is, greater than sliced bread. What's so great about sliced bread? You got a knife, you got a loaf of bread, slice the thing.”

    Rudolph did not want to stay in Pittsburgh. It is understandable why. He has not had it easy. In 2019, Rudolph had a real opportunity to secure his position as the heir apparent to Roethlisberger. He managed to find himself victim to one of the ugliest hits in recent NFL memory against the Baltimore Ravens.

    If Not For Bad Luck, Steelers' Mason Rudolph Would Have No Luck At All
    After fighting his way back to the field, he was benched for Devlin Hodges. He also had to endure the scurrilous accusations of the Pro Football Focus poster boy for edge-rushing and aggravated assault, Myles Garrett. Rudolph, like Garrett, has done little to earn the blind devotion he engenders from fans who think they are both better than they get credit for.

    While bread is an old thing and people throughout history have surely "sliced" it... the phrase sliced bread refers to the first time a loaf of bread was sliced by machine and packaged for convenience... and that was 1928

    It's hard to believe there could be this much talk about Mason Rudolph.

    If Belichick really wanted him, why not just sign him when he was available?

    Otto Rohwedder from Iowa invented the bread slicing machine in 1928 but it wasn't until 1930 when the Continental Baking company introduced Wonder Bread that his invention caught on nationwide. Otto was one of the few that made a fortune during the great depression.

    Trade rumors could involve MT just as easily. Which one fits into a certain system better or has more potential according to the team trading for the qb.

    I'll take the screen door invention over sliced bread any day. You can eat bread sliced or unsliced but those cool nice evenings on the deck would be a ***** without screens.

    I think Mason would have been traded if he had a better preseason this year. After the 1st game with the big bomb he was terrible.

    The Atlanta game stats. If Mason would have done anything in the Atlanta game he may have found himself in a much better position than buried at #3 on the Steelers Depth chart.

    I used to have a screen door going to my back deck. Boy was it nice. Until my big dumb husky saw something outside and trucked right through it.

    4 times in our life we had accidents (2 hurricanes & 2 stupid children) with our screened in porch and it was pain in ass to replace them. This house we got 3 years ago, wife said no more so we got what is called a 3 season deck. I love it! Almost another room. The windows are weird. Vinyl and I can stretch them out and they bounce right back. Although I've been warned not to do that again.:rolleyes:

    I doubt they trade Tomlin. Redskins tried a couple years ago and that didn’t work out.

    Scissors are one of the inventions that led to the population explosion. Before scissors man had no way to make garments that fit, remove unwanted hair besides a sharp blade against skin and no way you could cut the cord keep you safe when rock climbing. Pretty sure global warming is due to scissors.

    IMG_6916.jpeg Remember when people were happy about the QB room because we had Ben, Batch, and Leftwich? I remember that. That was awesome.

    With his experience in this offense, Mason is a great fit for the #3. We do not want a repeat of 2019.

    Just be happy.

    That was perhaps the best QB room in the league. What they have now doesn’t remotely touch that.

    But to be fair, it’s unusual to have a QB room as good as Ben, Batch and Lefty.

    Batch and Leftwich were solid backups. They could get you a win on a start here or there, even come in and beat the skins. But they weren’t long term starters. Same for the current backups.

    I look at some teams QB room, starters are not even worthy back ups, back ups not even fit for usfl lol. There is no shame for a guy being a decent nfl back up, Don Strock literally made a career of it, and though Charlie Batch never had a single mind blowing contract, he made a nice wad of cash, invested well and seems to live quite well.
