Rodgers is coming back

I don't get the hate on Mason. He is making peanuts, is a great team-mate and can play in a pinch.

Do I want him as a starter? No.

Valued backup? Yes.

i.e. Charlie Batch.

 

This has been explained repeatedly

 

I don't hate Mason at all. But I wouldn't call him a valued backup either. Maybe serviceable? I swear the whole offense just feels slower when he's in there.

Charlie Batch was a much better backup IMO.

 

With Rudolph I don't like or dislike the player. I think he loses credibility though with the contracts he signs. Before I speak about it, yes I would absolutely sign the same deal tomorrow. But I haven't spent my life training to do that job either and make nowhere near $1M per year.


MR signed his rookie extension for roughly 1yr/$5M. I don't think the Steelers have paid him much over $1M per season since that contract. Yet he keeps coming back rather than looking at FA for a bigger payday. I feel like that tells you his worth in the NFL.

Just for why I say this... The average salary for a backup QB ranges between $3M and $8M.
