I have always said that he’s better than the other two… even before Cincinnati game. I am probably one of three posters that I know of that did.

You're comment said the opposite. Hence why I responded to you

This is a garbage stat comparison for so many reasons. First let's go with the obvious... under Matt Canada... Mason looked like crap, played like crap... and Kenny looked like crap, played like crap. As a matter of fact, the only thing that differentiated Mason and Kenny was Pickett's clutch 4th quarter plays... something Rudolph never showed in his first two years. It wasn't until Matt Canada was gone when we started to see both QBs put up strong numbers. While Mason looks like he's elevated his game significantly the past three games... I have no doubt Mason benefited from Faulkner and Sullivan having four games / a month's worth of adjustments and removal of Canada's stench from the offense helping him open up the offense, Mason playing with house money (nothing to lose) as the 3rd string QB, and the Steelers (in typical fashion) hitting on all cylinders (line play and running the ball) for a stretch of the season to give them a chance to make the playoffs. I also have zero doubt... that if a healthy Kenny Pickett played the entire games against the Cardinals, Patriots, and Colts... we would already be in the playoffs and wouldn't need either the Dolphins or Titans to win. There is also zero doubt that Kenny took a step backwards in 2023... due to his play... which was undoubtedly affective by a lack of a running game in the first half of the season, poor offensive line play the first half of the season, Matt Canada still running the offense, and Pat Freiermuth's injury. In the final analysis, while Mason is on fire right now (major kudos to him), it is a shortsighted mistake to discount Kenny's potential because Kenny showed legit clutch 4th quarter play, his stats in the first game after Canada was booted (Bengals on the road), and areas he has absolutely developed (such as 8 Ints in first 5 games, then 1 Int in the next 8 games, including going 6-2 in those last 8 games his rookie year). We can ride Mason this year as far as we can... but next year... if we don't lose Mason outright... there should be a legitimate camp battle between the two.

No argument that Matt Canada impacted Kenny's play and progress this year. However, Mat Canada didn't advise him to hesitate on his first read then do a spin move out of the pocket and run into his own lineman or defense in the backfield for a sack. Or, take the snap in shotgun, don't make any reads and throw a pass to toward the sideline for a 3 yard loss.

Exactly!

Kenny still had bad QB ratings.
