    Anyone who watched the game knows that Rudolph played poorly....he floated most of his passes, and barely ever caught any receiver in stride..... Even his td to a wide open James Washington was high and had to be adjusted to....... Then late in the game, he starts throwing fast balls on quick slants that went wide...
    On the flip side, he showed mobility that I didn't know he had...... His runs totally caught the lions defense off guard, and make no mistake...... Ben is sacked on those same plays..... Rudolph showed what a mobile QB can do in this offense, and what we will be looking for in the draft at the position..... Not a runner, but someone that CAN run..... Someone that can get the ball down field and has touch when needed
    Not sure if we look in the first round, but we also can't wait past the 3rd

    Kind of need a center first then someone behind him. Steelers have had amazing centers, not so much now.

    We need a lot of things.. including an immovable object at NT to fix our run defense...
    We're not going to fill every hole with one draft... Especially one, where we don't have much draft capital

    The failure is on the coaching staff to:

    A.) Let Rudloph throw it 50 times
    B.) Let Rudolph throw it 50 times in a crappy weather game where running is required.

    Mason didn't play good enough to win but didn't play bad enough to be the reason we lost. But that is what most back up QB's get you.

    3 Huge Failures of the day, Terrible tackling for 2.5 Quarters, Game plan coaching approach, and Fumbles.
