Mason F Rudolph

I think you meant to say 12.5 to 14 million per year. Because that is probably closer to what he will be offered on the market.

 

You’re probably not far off there I was thinking $10m per year but you just never know.

 

When he's on the field you can tell the players Know that he ain't no rookie. He generates a lot of confidence,the team knows it and responds to it. Keeping his cool in that weather and pulling out a win pretty much shows he's for real. Note. Did anyone notice how at least 2 of his coaches (not Tomlin) ran out on the field to congratulate him. At the end of the game. He's come a long way from Purgatory. He's not going to win em all, but he's our best shot.

 

I doubt Mason will be a Pittsburgh Steeler in 2024. Pretty sure the NFL has taken notice. He will get offers. Let's be honest the Steelers never thought he was the guy for the past 6 years I'm not sure 3 games will convince them to keep him. One never knows. Now when he wins his 7th straight game then they will give it some thought

 

The one thing all the BU guys have going for them is how different times they were called on this year to start a game. it was insane. This year Minshew made 3.5 million (guaranteed, half salary and the rest bonus, sure some made more, but doubtful he hits 14 million, maybe 10, but guessing more realistic 5 to 7, with incentives.

 

So are we calling Rudolph....MFR now?

 

Yes Jacobs Brissett is probably a reasonable comparison with Mason he is getting $8m with the commanders as a backup.

Minshew won’t ever get that kind of money because he just doesn’t have the arm to hit guys down the field.

I could see Mason signing with the Pats. I think they have given up on Mac Jones and will need a bridge guy assuming they draft somebody.

 

You’ll never give Mason his credit. His performance eats you up inside just admit it.

 

If it wasn't for the Steelers offering 3rd string this year Mason would most likely be out of the league and in real estate. The steelers will work out a contract with MR in the off season giving him a chance to compete with pickett for qb #1. Pickett is a good qb and he may be better than Mason was when he first entered the league but Pickett is not better than Mason 2.0. Rudolph will be the starter next year with Pickett waiting in the wings as the primary backup. Mcsorely will be #3. With a set qb room we can concentrate on other needs in the draft and free agency. With Mason starting next year I see a playoff run. We might even have a playoff run this year if we can sneak in.

 

Mason did well yesterday considering the conditions, 18/20 and one of those incompletions was a nice throw down the sideline that DJ really should have caught for a long TD. It wasn’t a day for airing the ball out. It wasn’t a classic performance by any means but he did well.

Backups that can come in and manage the offence the way he can are in demand across the league and I think he will get a nice payday this offseason, relatively speaking.

 

When that performance is like your last 24, yeah he shouldn’t be afforded the leeway.

 

Pickett hasn’t had a rating of 112+ in 25 games. Mason has 3 in his last 3 games. Say whatever you want to justify that thinking Mason isn’t solid.

 

You kfp fanboys are exhausting... It feels like you're just trolling at this point because no one's this dense...

 

And rightly so. Kenny has had opportunities against bad defences as well, and he hasn’t been able to throw TD’s or put up points. The odd clutch play here and there isn’t good enough.

Nobody is saying Mason is great, but his willingness and ability to throw the ball down the field has completely opened up the offence. The Ravens were afraid of him connecting with Pickens yesterday and that allowed Najee to run the ball up the middle against a lighter box.

No opposing D is afraid of Kenny doing anything.

The sample size is small with Mason of course, and Kenny will undoubtedly get another chance, but he better take it or I expect they will be moving on.

 

Your guy has been benched the last 2 games. If the Steelers get in the playoffs, Kenny will be QB2 so get ready.

 

If KP is your QB1 he plays no matter what. I think the Steelers have seen enough.

 

This comparing QB's is nonsense. We seem to be in a pretty good spot with having TWO good QB '. Why rip them up. The way injuries are today we're gonna need them both and a third one too. Like we have a great one, two punch with running backs. Using them both keeps them healthy. A lot of teams would love to have those two guys. Come draft season, maybe we should look at shoring up some other positions.
