So, did you hear Ben say this? Or was this from someone who was told by someone else what they heard somewhere at some meeting that this may happen and now its expected?

They could go any number of directions with this.

1. Rookie in the draft of one falls to them, start with Mason and work the rookie in when he is ready. They are not going g to be chasing a championship in 2022 so they’ll have time

2. Veteran free agent to compete with Mason. Mariota, Trubisky etc. Prioritise OLine and Secondary in the draft and free agency

3. Trade for A Rodgers. I don’t hate this once they don’t give up too much

4. Combination of 1 & 2, I don’t like the idea of going in to the season with Mason as the starter

I think their preference will be to draft somebody obviously but there are other QB needy teams that have multiple first round picks. Might be difficult to get their guy in 2022

Regardless of what is on Twitter I fully expected Ben to retire in the offseason. The team is just spinning it’s wheels at the moment. Time to turn the page

I agree with you on #4 about not starting the year with Mason. I seriously don’t know why we haven’t released him. He is terrible. Ben has been on a downward trajectory for a couple years now. Last year they threw a lot of short passes and we won. Then the league caught on like usual and we got stomped by the Browns at home in the wildcard game. My point is we should of drafted a QB years ago. I know we got Mason but he immediately was terrible so move on. Anyway just feels like we could of had someone better than Mason Rudolph to be the heir apparent. Some tough years ahead I’m thinking but I hope somehow Tomlin and the FO can pull something off.
