    Our last playoff win was January 15th 2016, against the Chiefs in round 2 of the playoffs. If Rudolph can pull off a round 1 win, it becomes very hard to envision a scenario where he doesn't get multiple contract offers in the off season. I would not expect crazy amounts by any means, but the Steelers will have to put more money on the table if they want to keep him. As for development of Pickett, it seems the height of folly for that to become a part of the decision making process unless you are totally giving up on the current season.

    It is a challenge to make it to the playoffs. 14 out of 32 teams make it each year. You can't throw away any chance having made that first cut to get there. Ironically, in the hard to find stats......Kenny is probably still the leader on longest active streak without an interception. I think he was a bit over 200 last I found something.

    Even if Tomlin starts Mason, he is still a clown. That has already been established.

    The Jags lost 5/6 coming down the stretch to choke a playoff spot away. A team with an offense and qb friendly coach with a franchise qb in place. How unfortunate.

    If MT even entertains putting Pickett as starter, then he needs a lot of help mentally. But there is always that possibility. Wasn’t he a big Pickett man when he was in college?

    Right. My mistake. He is indeed a clown if for no other reason than because he had Trubisky playing instead of Mason.

    Except that we can't cover TE's, and Kelce would light us up. Whomever it is.. lets do this.

    Are you really doubling down on this??? It would take me 20 seconds to find three games better than Rudolphs 3 games. You guys realize Rudolph hasn’t broken 300 yards and has 3 TD’s, right?

    Holy smokes. It’s one thing to say Rudolph is better than Pickett and he very well may be. He’s not even close to Ben, not even in the same galaxy. Geez man. Old Ben or not, it’s not close.

    Im all for Mason starting in the playoffs. Now defenses can’t crowd the box and stop the run because of his potential to throw the ball downfield. That being said, I’m still not drinking the Kool-aid. Still, nothing would make me happier than seeing Mason continue this roll he’s on.

    Would be foolish not to. Even if he's secretly told KP he's QB1 in the future, you have to go with the hot hand.

    Might want to check the stats on that. He was still better than all 3 QB's we have now - combined. Not saying he was anywhere the gunslinger he was prior to the injury, but he still lit up the stats the following season.

    I agree. A playoff win or even a good performance by Rudolph changes his whole offseason landscape. I don’t think what he has done so far will move the needle a whole lot for teams. He’s definitely positioned himself better than he was entering last offseason but he needs a good game in the playoffs for teams to really take notice.

    Careful, you'll draw the ire of the unofficial MT jock holders around here.
