Haskins will Start, Dobbs BU QB.

Well Haskins showed who he is and not ready for prime time.

He is more worried about being the next Franchise QB and claiming the #2.

He is none of the above. He looked pathetic last night.

Rudolph played steady enough to be the solid #2

2022 Draft a QB needs to be selected in the 1st. Even if Ben comes back.

 

The love affair with Haskins ended pretty quickly last night.

It wasn't a pretty outing by a lot of people not just Haskins.

Anyway, I think it ended any argument to even think about not keeping Rudolph around.

Going to be the Ben and Mason show with active helmets, barring injury only way Haskins gets a helmet.

I think he makes the 53 man, I don't think his performance was terrible enough to get him cut from making the 53 man.

Ben 1 Rudolph 2 Haskins 3 Dobbs Practice squad

 

Possibly but I think people don't realize just how few good QBs are out there. There are some starters that Rudolph would probably outperform if he started all year. And no, I do not in any way want to see Mason start again for the Steelers. I am not praising him by saying this but rather pointing out that there are a lot of ****ty QBs out there. That's why I think Rudolph is a good backup, not because I think Rudolph is particularly good.

 

I see Haskins didn't have a good outing and some want to compare what he did to what Rudolph has done. I don't know what Haskins really brings to the table but he has played with less talent when he has been in the game.

I couldn't watch but listened to some of the game via radio and noticed that his backfield was Snell and company, instead of Harris and company. And the WR Corp was missing Ju Ju, DW and the new TE.

Rudolph has manage to do what he has with the full compliment of The Steelers Offense, while Haskins has worked with makeshift wanna bes. In order for me to access, there has to be an apples to apples situation before I come to a conclusion on the two.

 

Taking a long time to sober up?

 

The entire team looked unprepared and unmotivated. Haskins didn't get a lot of time to throw the ball and his receivers were dropping everything. Now, the 4th preseason game is always a snooze fest but if I didn't see this during the regular season for the last decade, I would have brushed it off. I do not see how a Mike Tomlin team will ever win another title with him at the helm. He is just not good at consistently having his teams ready, focused and prepared.

 

Come on Haskins had Claypool,and Washington. Mason has Harris a total of what 7 plays. LoL. Wasn't like Haskin played against starter the whole game either

 

He had 1 drop pass. The others were slapped down due 2 short throws, or behind WRs throws.
I want the best 2nd Qb out there....so I can not understand why one can look at tape , and when one does something act like they don't see it, or make excuses for the same thing.
I have seriously broke thus down. Last night Haskins only twice looked at any other guy he was throwing 2 ....other than the guy he picked as soon as the ball was snapped.
All I can figure is there is more 2 this than who has played better. Like some other factors....

 

I don't believe cut him. You can still work with Him....if he allows it. There is a lot He can learn by watching a whole season of how it should be done, and get what little practice He can. I'm not done with Him, but for this Year I'm done with him being the Guy 2 come in if Ben goes down for a short period.
Of Course I don't make any of these choices...So...JMO

 

He is who we thought he was....

Said it before the next Steeler franchise QB after Ben is not on the present roster.

 

You've been drinking heavily since 2019? That answers so many questions.

 

Now I'm convinced you have been heavily drinking with @Blast Furnace since 2019.

 

I'll give You Trask is better than Mond who some were high on. Anybody watched him. LoL.
I still think Trask was a bit of a reach. I liked him, but something around the 3rd, or 4th round.
Also I think with Bringing in Haskins, and Having Mason with Ben still on the team P.F. was the right choice.
There is practically nobody in the SEC I don't watch closely. That's why when we get into talking about Guys from other conferences I have 2 listen 2 everyone else, or go back and view games.

 

He was facing makeshift wanna be's as well. The issue is his ego is getting in the way and that he was not anointed the #2 position and talking about being the next franchise QB for the Steelers. Shut your face and earn it.

Against the Lions when he came he didn't look poised ready to lead. His body language told the story.

Go and read some of the stories from Washington FBT.

They took a one year flier, no harm, no foul.

He will not be the next franchise QB for the Steelers. Nor will Rudolph.

2022 best be the year they grab the next one in the 1st. Even if Ben comes back.

 

I’m not a good example in this regard

I respect your opinion on Rudolph more than I do my own

 

Shut your face and earn it.

 

Haskins was bad last night. He'd definitely no better than number 3 right now. I think we need to see more, but I think I know what the last chapter will be. He will bounce around the NFL a little after his stint with the Steelers, then either end up in Canada or Arena football. I am intrigued with his arm, intrigued with how well he can move around. However, he doesn't consistently show swagger and confidence.

People will snicker, but Duck is the polar opposite. No arm strength to speak of. No doubt in my mind that his short stature made him have to move around enough to find an open receiver. But, the kid has guts and he has swagger, whether it's misplaced or not. Coaches can only teach so much. Both had enough skill to be effective where they played but that doesn't necessarily mean they will ever be anything more than a footnote in the NFL. I'm still not ready to say that Mason Rudolph will be anything better than an NFL back-up. But, after four years of uncertainty, I agree with others that say the Steelers need to keep looking for their next franchise QB. I saw the potential last night with Sam Darnold now that he is out of the hell that is the N.Y. Jets organization. He has a good arm, moves well, has good instincts and goes through his progressions. I wish the Steelers had been able to get him.

 

I don't recall anointing anyone the next franchise QB. My opinion all along was I haven't seen enough. Don't put words on my keyboard trying to make a point. Chill out.

 

5-3 record. Winning.
