What about Mason

I keep seeing that we are screwed if Aaron doesn't come back and that we are loosers if we don't take a FA QB like Murry or Geno Smith or Cousin's but I don't under stand why they are saying that to me I think Mason is better then someone elses garbage I say if Aaron doesn't roll the dice with Mason and Will and let them compete how are you all feeling about this...

 

Have we not seen enough of Mason? He is a spot backup QB at best. Would rather go 2-15 with Howard and see what he has then 8-9 with Mason knowing what he is.

 

As long as Rudolph is #2 or #3 on the depth chart... it's all good. He's not a starting caliber QB, but a good backup. We've seen enough to know this.

 

I would rather roll with Mason/howard/x than bring back Rodgers or any other free agent qb. If they fall flat on their face so be it. If nothing else we will be better positioned to draft a qb next year without giving up ridiculous draft capitol

 

Mason is easily better than washed up Kirk Cousins and Geno Smith. He outplayed Geno Smith in Seattle and beat them when historically no Steeler qb had won there in decades. He was better than Aaron Rodgers against Cinci last year. He had never been given a full year with a good coach and decent talent around him. Currently, I believe he is as good as middle of the road starter in nfl. There are no franchise qb out there and Mason comes in a lot cheaper than any washed up or somebody else’s failure out there. I would him out there with Will Howard as back up. If Mason struggles or gets hurt, it will be Will Howards’s time to shine. There are a lot of people who were vested in Kenny Pickett on this board and on talk shows. They all predicted that Mason would do terrible in 2033. They were proven wrong. So when Mason has an average game, they label it as garbage.

 

And if we still had Dennis Dixon, the odds-makers would have a field day with that line (so to speak).

 

I liked rudy .. I was wrong

 

If we don't sign someone (which I doubt), we'll likely start Mason and then put Howard in when / if things go south.

But I think we'll sign someone. Then have Mason as the safe QB2. With the hope that Howard shows he can be at least a QB2.

 

AR is coming back Will is going to be the #2,, our #3 is not decided yet .. A draft pick ? Skylar ? Not Mason he has no future with this Team..MM likes smart quick thinking QB'S and is looking to build a Franchise QB , Mason can't help Will he can't be a future QB and his pre snap game is poor to say the least ..
