Tomlin and Austin made it perfectly clear that Yahya was going to be spending all his time at DE. You do remember those interviews right?

Austin said he would start practicing at DE

Eventually he would practice at NT

He did play NT

He played poorly

Since 6 has me on ignore he will probably repeat this

A HC more than likely isn't thinking this. Again most are thinking, can I win a game or two if Rodgers goes down before he comes back. What if we really have a chance this year, and we lose out making the playoffs because Rodgers is only out for a game , or 3. Do you want to throw away a season because you have no backup without any experience, and when I mean no experience, I mean not even a freaking preseason game amongst them. I don't care if they keep Mason, but I do care if they go with no backup without NFL experience.

I understand this line of thinking. However, Mason had a chance to win us a game last year in relief of Rodgers and didn't. If McCarthy truly believes that Howard is capable of being in the game and winning at the NFL level, then why not just roll with him as the #2? We have to make the best QB room possible. Does keeping Mason guarantee us wins in those games? We may have more confidence in him because he's won an NFL game before and Howard hasn't, but if the coach thinks that Howard gives us just as good a chance to win as Mason, then its a no brainer. Go with the guy that can still develop.

Mason Rudolph has lost 6 of his last 7 NFL starts and at 30 years old he better hope one of the other 3 QB'S get injured or he won't make the team.
