    But he hasn't looked better than Rodgers. Aaron had to come back in the game with a broken nose and broken bones in his wrist because the 2 balls that Rudolph threw were a ground ball and the other one picked off. If Rodgers gets hurt again then Will Howard should be the backup, he might be as bad as Rudolph but he might actually play well. We don't know until he plays.

    We need to invest starting snaps in young worthy quarterbacks. Rudolph is next in line. I like Howard but he is not next in line.
    We have drafted good worthy quarterbacks but have not given them the starts. Including Pickett whose career here was cut short after a year and a half. That is serious mismanagement of the quarterback position by Tomlin.

    Right now, I'd take Skylar Thompson over Mason or Howard.

    Rudolph isn't a young worthy QB. He's 30 freaking years old in his 8th year in the league. He's a lot closer to the end of his career than the beginning.

    And those Safeties are geriatric with contracts expiring sans Ramsey. None of them are the future.

    But Daniel Jones and Sam Darnold are okay as new starters in Indy and Seattle, or Baker in Tampa?

    Tomlin has passed on in-house talented quarterbacks deserving of starting that the scouting department gave him. He passed on that opportunity because he did not want to go through rebuild seasons with a new rookie starter.
    Well, he failed two years in a row and wasted those two seasons.
    He may quit, he knows he fkd up.

    Jones, Darnold and Mayfield were all high first round draft picks whose pedigrees out of college were much higher than Mason's. QB's with their talent are always going to get more chances than a backup journeyman like Rudolph.
