    Heard it a few times last night ...
    Has Skylar Thompson surpassed Mason Rudolph ?

    Because sometimes responding with words to a post isn't worth the effort.....

    That’s when you use :facepalm: or DAB

    But for disagree I think a proper explanation/discussion is in order

    But for the poster in question an intelligent response is challenging

    This may sound exaggerated but the only bonafide, clear assessment that has come out this preseason is that Skylar Thompson should be the back up QB going into the season.

    Would be stone cold to cut Rudolph, I would actually feel bad for him.

    Or they could do what happens to manny 6th rd picks, cut Howard.

    But I think it will be Thompson that gets the ax which doesnt really send a great message, you perform well and out play the competition and still get cut.

    I think that's what will happen too. At least Thompson opened some eyes around the league and won't be out of a job for too long.

    Start Howard on IR and wait to see if we can get some draft assets for MR or Thompson

    Rudolph sucks. He continues to show that he's a good number 3 QB. Thompson had command of the offense and made good decisions. He was able to manipulate the pocket, he was able to get outside, extend plays and make things happen. Rudolph is still standing in the pocket too long, holding the ball too long, missing wide open targets by vision and by holding the bar too long resulting in interceptions. He's not good. Neither one is going to take this team to the Super Bowl if Rodgers were to get injured but Thompson gives them a better chance.

    All Skylar Thompson proved is he can look good in preseason playing against backups and grocery store clerks.

    I agree, and I have seen Rudolph win real games, I haven't seen Skylar, but the GM, Owner, and Coaches see them at every practice, and so I believe they will know which is best. Therefore I will be happy however they decided to go with it.

    How the hell is Richardson 6th?? Hell Mason has better stats, and better win loss than him, and if You take away Tennessee play. It's way better.

    Those guys at FanDuel are clueless, Jaxson Dart at #2 when he hasn't played in a real game yet is a joke :facepalm:.

    Dart maybe good, but I agree, if You haven't actually played a real NFL game yet, then you should be down the list untill we see otherwise.

    There are a couple of guys on the list that stick out as established 2 QB's, Would not put MR in the top 10, but also would not necessarily put him in the bottom 10, they all are back ups for a reason and think the team around them give more substance for success. MR in the 15-20 range, just a guess, he is not gonna win you the division necessarily, but is not the worst of the bunch.

    1st I would redo the whole list, because if You haven't ever played a real game in the NFL ,than that is just guessing, they maybe great but they may suck, we won't know to we actually see them play a real game.
    2nd. After I redo the whole list I think Mason would be around 10, or 11. JMO.

    Thats not a serious list. Dart #2 and never thrown a pass in a real game yet. Mariotta may be the worst QB in the league. Richardson has been hot garbage.

    Last year he was pretty bad on a very bad team, the list it self is laughable. I dont care where they put him, just win for the steelers, lol.
