Should the Steelers run it back with Rodgers or not?

    So? Winning 9 games with Rodgers won't help the franchise as much as a top 10 draft pick in 2027.

    If Rodgers doesn't come back then I hope they let the winner of the Allar/Howard competition start the season and gain valuable experience. The worst thing the team could do is start Rudolph and have us limp to a 6-11 season. That would help no one.

    I think he agrees with us but AR doesn’t unfortunately.

    Well I must say that old man Rodgers ( who will be 43 this December ) gives us the best chance to win this year due partly to the Tomfoolery of the previous staff in not getting Howard ready ( he should have been at least QB2 ).

    But Rodgers is a 1 year bandaid at best assuming he doesn't get hurt. I bet he will miss games if he decides to return.

    I just prefer to rip the band aid off, and let Rudoplh, Allar and Howard battle it out in camp as it will expedite us being better.

    Retire Arron. Enjoy the privacy, and find the darkness you seek. After you say your goodbyes, do resurface in 5 years when you are eligible for the hall of fame because in my opinion you will be there on your 1st ballot.

    That would make 0 sense but lately the Steelers make 0 sense or at least ownership. I could see a world where AR says yes let’s start Mason he has experience and could lead us to glory!

    He was drafted 21 years ago. Let that sink in.

    Agree. MR is not a starter in this league. We already know that. Lets give someone else a shot.

    No we do not know that. He was never the starter. That's you opinion based on a few games, not a full season, not several full seasons. Yet you also know who is the starter material based on that eye test for college rookies, who have never played a down in the NFL.
    Your eye test does not make sense, it's not rooted in anything.

    You might be the only person in the NFL universe that doesn't know that then.
    He is capable of showing bright spots but then following those up with stinkfests.
    Tennessee was keen on him after Levis went down.. it turned out mostly bad.

    I was a Mason fan back in his college days, but 8 years has not been good for him. He's a backup.

    Not just Mason Rudolph. Look at the draft. Cade Klubnik went on day 3 who is way better and more experienced and starter material, but Ty Simpson went #13 overall in the first round. Diego Pavia went and Joe Fagnano went underafter who are way better, starter material first round quarterback, but Drew Allar and Carson Beck were drafted in round 3, who suck.
    And there are other examples. People hated and still hate Jalen Hurts, he is a two time Super Bowl quarterback, and would not get a chance here. There are other examples of stupidity, to many to name.

    Keep Rudolph if Rodgers retires. Trade him if Rodgers decides to play another year. Howard and/or Allar could possibly have a higher ceiling than Rudolph at this point, but we'll never know if we keep starting QBs like Rodgers and Rudolph.

    Of course you did not.
    Can you understand this about quarterback evaluations in the NFL? Murray and Young went #1 overall and are starters in the NFL. Diego Pavia went undrafted and unsigned in UDFA by the NFL. Maybe this lower level fact is more processable.
