Russell Wilson

I'm sorry it upsets you so much to have me prove that the information in your previous post was false. You claimed that they were "getting beat" when Pickett left that game. That is not true. The game was tied. Now you want to move the goalposts to talk about the low score, which is why I pointed out that Cole ruined two drives with terrible snaps on third down.

 

This.
I honestly believe next to Qbs they are the hardest to judge on how well they will translate from the college games into the NFL.

 

yes - CBs and QBs - one letter separates them

 

Just a thought on the QB situation. How are the Steelers going to get a QB that can really challenge Kenny for the number 1 spot. Over and over the steelers' management makes comments like this about Kenny. There is absolutely no doubt that Kenny is the starter next year. Rudolph knows this and every single QB out there knows this as well. There will be no real competition at the position. Kenny is the guy they are going to go with.

If I were Rudolph I would go elsewhere with no question. So forget about a real competition at QB. It's not going to happen

 

Did he get any offers last year when he was a FA? The Steelers let their players explore FA,
then if they want to match the offer the player gets from another team if they feel the player
works for them they will try signing the player. MR may not want to come back to the Steelers. I believe FA starts March 13th, will see what happens then. I am sure his agent is looking for the best opportunity for MR.

 

That best opportunity doesn't exist here

 

Don't read too much into it either way. Half of what He said ....he has to say, a quarter of that is smokescreen, and the rest since KFP is the only Qb under contract...what do you expect him to say???

 

I get that. But at the same time he is doubling down on Kenny as the starter. It is obvious he wants Kenny to be the starter. I'm not sure what kind of offers Rudolph will get but he was our best QB last year. And if he's goes then we have 1 QB under contract. I'm sure there will be bodies out there to pick up but if he leaves we are going to be extremely thin at QB

 

So its time for MR to move on.

 

Actually there are 13 letters between C and Q

 

He is likely to be cut next week. I also think the Steelers would be able to get him cheap due to how much bronchi will be paying him. And he might be looking for a team to get a ring in the next two years.

If he comes cheap, he's really our best option.

 

I would try to play hardball with Wilson and make him come to work everyday to collect his money. I know his salary and roster bonus money are guaranteed, but I would assume he would have to come in to work to collect it.

Also, couldn't they start fining the living daylights out of him when the practices he is not showing up for were not Optional?

If he becomes a problem at practice, then "Hey Russell you are going to come in everyday, and go to the office in the basement and sit there every day for the next 2 years."

 

People keep saying this about what happened last year to Mason, but last year when Mason was out there looking for a job he didn't have the fact that he was the NFL's highest rated QB for the last 4 weeks of the season on his resume either. Things have changed for Mason this offseason!

I think there will be a team out there with Cap space that is willing to roll the dice with a 3 year $33 million contract to have Mason come in and compete for the starting job.

 

And now he has 4 good games in 6 years on his resume

Yep that is impressive

GMs will ignore that and focus heavily on the 4 games at the end of the season

 

You meaning Denver? Denver is screwed regardless if they keep him or cut him. If they cut him, I think they might save 5 million and they can split it this year and next.

 

He can't be judged from games He didn't play.
Yet people are wanting us to trade away picks , and eventually big money for a Qb that has not that many big games. So

 

Yes I can judge him from games he didn’t play

That’s the whole point there was a reason he didn’t play

I am more in favor of bringing him back than any of the other options

 

Yeah most of that was Because he had a HOF Qb in front of Him for half those years....did You forget that??

 

His name was Ben.

 

And Delvin Hodges!

 

Yeah the decrepit Ben with two bad knees a bad pectoral and a bad hip

And Mason still could not earn a snap

Sorry I’m not impressed

 

You know that Ben was never going to be benched in favor of Mason. And then in their infinite wisdom the Steelers brought in Mitch and drafted Kenny and Mason became an afterthought until they had no other options this season. And as it turned out, that “afterthought” was the primary reason that the Steelers made the playoffs and Tomlin’s non-losing season streak remained intact. Are you really arguing that Mason couldn’t earn a snap when he was buried on the depth chart for two years behind two clearly inferior quarterbacks? Maybe he earned an opportunity every single day but this coaching staff was too stupid to see it. Sorta looks that way, don’t it?

 

I think I heard this somewhere before
