Do you think mason should be our #1?

No...

 

Agree, I rank him right up there with Josh Dobbs.

He is a fun story coming off the bench, but once a team actually starts game planning for him his play falls off a cliff.

 

Fittipaldo had a good point today. Said Rodgers has the complete trust and freedom with Smith to make/change calls at the line. I don't think they would give Rudolph that same freedom.

 

Why

 

Make this make sense to you: Do not show up in the middle of conversation of others!

 

No you appealed to authority for opinion. That authority, Tomlin, is wrong, proven wrong on facts, based on previous starters that he went out of his way to court to start for him. And not one but multiple starters, all failed. Those are the facts. And that authority is wrong and you are wrong on supporting facts to appeal to that authority for opinion.

In street lingo, the "facts" are: Tomlin is a proven idiot when it comes to selecting quarterbacks (plural). He is no authority.

 

32 NFL teams didn't think that because at least 24 are set at QB and are probably only looking for back up QB. If you have Mahomes, Allen, Hebert, Daniels, Goff, Love etc. you wouldn't look to sign Mason. Amongst the rest, most are wrong like Tomlin was with Pickett, etc. Atlanta, Minnesota, Jets, Raiders probably wish they had Mason as they have benched their starters and backups aren't doing better. The list for NFL 1st round drafted qb who ended being bust is about three times as long as those who were successful proving NFL GMs probably aren't the all knowing prognosticators of NFL talent. Darnhold was rejected by three teams until he was in a right situation with Minnesota to succeed. My opinion is that Rudolph can be just as good as Darnhold if given a chance.

 

Heard today on Altoona radio station discussing Mason as the Steelers best back up in Steelers history.
mason as backup 9-6-1
Batch 6-3
Cliff stoudt? Did he even play?
Who might be better?

 

Charlie Batch is probably his best comparable. He was never a great starter, but he could be relied on to win games in a pinch when you needed him. Very much like Rudolph.

 

Bubby when backing up O'Donnell? Tomczak?

 

But you're acting like Tomlin should have known 100% whether a guy would work out before he brought him in or even that it was possible for anyone to know. Tomlin is trying to solve a problem at QB. He might be more like "I don't know if this guy is going to work, but let's give him a try. If he does, great. If he doesn't, get rid of him." Searching for a starting QB can be a series of trying one guy after another until one works out. I'm not sure you hold it against the HC every time someone doesn't work out.

 

Mason record with the Steelers is 8-4-1 and 1-4 with Titans according to his Wiki page.. I don't know where you are getting 9-6-1
