    That is four games out of 16 starts for Rodgers as opposed to an entire season for Rudolph.

    I think what it means to Mason is that his future is out of his hands.

    Mason has to stand on the sideline and watch/Hope will Howard implodes, right now the backup QB job is Howard's to lose.

    Truth is I could see the loser of Mason/Howard wind up on the Practice Squad. Howard because he is last years 6th round pick with no NFL Experience, and Mason just because no other team has a need for him right now.

    Peseason, I could see Howard starting Week 1, and then Allar starting week2, and if both young QBs look good, they may play Mason in Week 3 to let him at least audition for other teams before they cut him.

    Given that they have very different skill sets, yes, I could see it. I'm assuming the Steelers would try to keep Heidenreich on the practice squad if he doesn't make the roster.

    The current steelers team are not good enough to be all-in for this year.No reason to keep Rudolph unless they decide to keep 4 QBs

    You think they are a super bowl contender?

    Rodgers would need to turn back the clock to 2021 to have a chance

    Listening to Noah Strackbein is a very dangerous move by the way. Not saying you do Blast but just a heads up. Dude is a contradiction machine.

    It was Kaboly and Fittipaldo answering though. I think Fittipaldo is more on point than Kaboly though on their opinions in general.

    But yeah, I dont listen to the other guy normally, this is a new podcast with him though. I didnt even know Noah had locker room access.

    Looks like the Pittsburgh Post Gazette is truly scraping at the bottom of the barrel if people like Noah are getting in then. :eek:


    I will award the charity of Ray. Still not my cup of tea but he is league's beyond Noah and better than Mark.

    Go back, and read what you wrote, and tell me the errors.
    Example 1: who said anything about being a starter, and You were the one to say you seen him lose games, like we've never seen other Qbs lose games.
    Example 2: I love this one.
    Why would we want a experience backup when we have 43 year old starting Qb. LoL. LoL. I don't know You tell me.
    Example 3: Why do fans think that if they don't see a Qb , that the team won't know if the Qb is worth keeping?? I'm sorry so because you don't get to see the Qb, that the coaching staff that sees them all day in practice, rooms, and drills don't know whether they are going to be good , or not??
    I must call them up, and tell them YOU must see them so they know whether to keep them. LoL
    Also I'm sure you could do it all day, but from what I read, I'm not sure I'd be proud of that. You questioned your own statements that you made in earlier post that started this, but I'm the one getting bothered. LoL Kettle, meet black. LoL

    Again, why is it then that all the those people are skipping the point of I don't care if it's Rudolph, I just want a experienced backup, and yet Rudolph keeps getting brought up???
    Hell if you don't want to read the 5000000000 times I've said this, just go back to the post You quoted.

    Rudolph is the subject, kind of hard to not talk about him :lolol:

    You think the experience he has to offer would make a difference over what Howard has to offer. I dont believe it does, especially when he isnt in the same comfort zone he has been in most of his entire time in the league.

    I think Howard can easily replace Rudolph while hopefully developing into something more.

    The choice is Rudolph or Howard. There is zero chance they bring in some other BU for experience.

    But Rudolph is not the subject to me, a experienced backup Qb is, the only reason I even mention Rudolph is because he is the experienced backup Qb on the team now, and why I've said everytime, I don't care if it's him, but I want a experienced Qb I've actually seen win games in the NFL, and yet people keep turning it into Rudolph. LoL
    Also I wouldn't be so sure they aren't looking at other BU Qbs. McCarthy has a few out there that have played backup for him.
