The future for Mason Rudolph?

We are doomed.

 

Right....how the hell can we expect to build an offense and play playoff caliber football with a QB making $26m / year?

Amazing how the best teams in the NFL have QBs making about what Ben makes. Of the top 10 SB contenders - 2 have cheap QB's.

 

The article was from the off-season.

 

I knew Mason didn't have it when the 49ers gave up 5 turnovers, and the offense still couldn't score enough points to put the game away .

 

That game still haunts me. 5 frigging TO's and you lose. Kind of unheard of. I remember years ago the NFL stat nuts showed how your chance of winning a game goes up with each turnover. It was something like if your team gets 3 TO's your chance of winning was 70%, get 4 and it's 85%, get 5 and you pretty much win the game.

 

So that coach is no longer helping Mason? idk

 

That's the point, he never shows up.

Defenders love to compare his numbers to Bens rookie numbers. Thing is, even in Ben's rookie season, at least 2 or 3 times a game, he would make a play that made you smile and say, "This kid's gonna be good."

I can't remember one such moment from Rudolf in how many games now? There may have been a couple plays possibly, but none of them have stuck with me. I was watching Detroit's 3rd string guy the other day and saw a few plays that I haven't seen MR make.

 

I am not sticking up for MR, I in no way think his future is settled. But he needs to make major
improvements in some areas or he will be out of football.

 

Iirc his cap number for the next two years is 33.5m. If he retires before June 1st 2020 the dead cap hit in 2020 is $25m so it frees up 8.5m in 2020 and 33.5m in 2021. If he retires after June 1st the hit is spread over two years 12.5m in 2020 and 12.5m in 2021, freeing up 21m in each year.

Im sure he will come back unless he suffers some sort of setback with the injury. Anybody’s guess whether he is 100%, 80% or whatever. The hope is that he is as good as he was but given his age I don’t know if it’s likely.

 

Mason is terrible lol

He was statistically the worst qb in football and regressing. Hope he has a backup plan

 

Rudolph has horrible mechanics. He has zero foot work in the pocket. He is completely without an imagination back there and is simply a statue. I like the kid but he's done. There should have been some improvement from game to game and instead he got worse. It appears he's trained himself to throw off his back foot so no one really has an idea if he has any arm strength or not. He consistently underthrows receivers or throws behind them. There's just no that much there to work with. He will be out of football in a couple years. The front office has not addressed the back up QB situation at this point and simply drafts for a body and hopes. We see the results of that. They traded up for Rudolph and it looks like a bust at this point. The guy has had 8 weeks of starter reps at practice and has regressed each week. Duck is a fill in and will never be a starter in this league. So nothing out there to look forward to at this point. Just more of the same. I've stated before I don't think Ben is coming back. I think he retires and moves on. Hope I'm wrong. If we don't make some improvements to our coaching staff this year then we're marooned at this point. We're not as good as New England or the Ravens or the Browns at this point,. Sad but I don't see any other way to look at it. I'm going to hang with the team no matter what but my expectations for this team have never been lower. I won't be able to watch the game as in Harrisburg we get the Ravens when they play the same time as the steelers. So there's mercy in that. It's easier to listen to the radio. Less stress

 

The sad thing is that he's had even more than 8 games worth of first team reps considering that Ben always gets Wednesdays off.

 

Also in consecutive games Mason took a safety, just standing there holding the ball too long, no pocket awareness at all.

 

No more time. We’ve seen enough. Mason needs to never start a game in his life. I’ve seen zero upside to him.

 

LOL i just noticed your Avatar

 

Not really sure where to put this, maybe it deserves its own post:

We didn't need to draft Mason or Dobbs, we could have definitely rolled with Landry as a back up. Landry was no worse than Mason or Duck.

Just think of what those draft picks could have been and how they could have helped out this team.

Why did we run Landry out of town, was it just that they didn't want to pay him a non-rookie contract?

 

More like they were looking for Ben’s replacement. He’s pushing 40.

Like it or not, QBs are a crapshoot. They have to keep trying until they find the next franchise-level QB. So far they haven’t.
