Official Game Day Thread Steelers at Panthers.

Happy to hear it!

 

I kind of assume Thompson already beat out Howard for QB3. That probably isn’t fair considering Howard’s injury, but those are the breaks in pro sports.
I would keep Howard on the PS

 

The answer to both questions is the same. He has years of showing the league he isn't good.

 

All your points are valid, but what did your eyes tell you tonight, and in the earlier games (BTW, I don’t blame anyone for not watching preseason football).

 

Sorry, that is not a clueless TE, but an Offensive tackle that just stands there doing nothing the entire play.

 

Arthur Moats was saying on the post game show that Skylar Thompson has had the better pre-season over Mason Rudolph and it isn't even close.

 

My eyes told me that he was put in 2nd or 3rd and long due to lack of running game and penalties. He was getting pressure and receivers weren’t getting open down field against their starters. He pressed and went for a big play not noticing that upfield D back had held back to intercept the pass. It’s bad route design to have two receivers in the same area on long pass as it essentially means that both receivers are double covered. I doubt the play was designed to have both receivers in the same area, so one of the receivers definitely messed up. It also means that Mason got mentally lazy in not accounting for the other dback pre snap.

 

Wife told me it 13-10. Didn’t even know they were playing tonight. Gotta love camping!

 

Thompson has outplayed Mason in the preseason.

 

It was just fun last night with him. I could have made a few of those passes because our guys were so wide open. That would not have been the case if starters were in for Panthers.

I will say this though, I can see at as #2 but I know nod goes to Mason.

 

Agreed. I cannot imagine anyone thinking otherwise to be honest.

 

Did your eyes also tell you that Thompson had a better preseason and its not even close?

If you have Netflix it's on there.

 

Like that never happened before in Steeler history. Thank you BOZ!!

Kudos to Ben Sauls last night. It's funny, I am nervous when he kicks because he is a lefty.

 

Better tell your wife to pay better attention, it was 19-10

 

As QB2/3 he is perfectly fine.
