Is it time to start Mason Rudolph?

[FordFairLane]

The season isn’t technically over, but it’s over. So there’s two things we can do. Let Roethlisberger pat his stats a bit and retire the 5th all time passing leader ahead of Phillip Rivers. Or do we see what Rudolph has with a few weeks of starts under his belt. It would at least clear up the needs of a QB this off-season.

we know rudy sucks

 

[Chicoman]

Don't fool yourself this season is over! Steelers might not win another game this season. But NO you don't start Mason Rudolph because he's ******* terrible!

 

[SteelerFan448]

Let Roethlisberger pad his stats. This team has a load of cap space next year and could also use a high pick to get impact players in the first two rounds.

 

[Steel Reign]

It is time to start Haskins. Not because I have great hope there but we know what Mason will offer next year as much as we know what Ben will offer next year. May as well see what Haskins has (again, I suspect not much). Keep in mind that, whomever, we play, it is also somewhat irrelevant with Canada as the OC.

Yes, it is time.

No, Rudolph is worse.

 

[black and gold apex]

Start Haskins obvious he has not shown much when he isn't dressed most of the time. Season is over as far as any thought of playoffs. What would be nice if we saw any improvement on any of the players we play. Another positive is this coaching staff look less and less on how the game plan, player they put in certain positions and aging lack of improvement

 

[MB47]

what difference does it make who starts with Tomlin leading the Titanic.

 

[Djfan]

Let Ben finish the year on his own terms. He has earned that. It's his last few games. He gave us many years of greatness. He gets a mulligan in a lousy year.

Lol....Haskins. smh

Ben never had a chance with this OL. It is the worst OL in the league and it's not close.

 

[ExUSAF]

If they could have stayed together they might have improved but you can't plug and play a new guy every week and expect the OL to be competitive.

 

[Drink IRON City]

If they could have stayed together they might have improved but you can't plug and play a new guy every week and expect the OL to be competitive.

PLUS their experient of not investing heavy into the OL has backfired. A 3rd & a 4th is not heavy investment.



As for the Rudoph over BEN,...... commical. Whether season is done or not, you go with best chance to win, we are nOt a loser draft pick team attitude YET.





Salute the nation

Moore and Green are terrible and they haven't missed any time.

Not, but even when they were playing together there wasn't much improvement. They peaked early and then began to fade again. There are no individually talented guys in the lineup and it shows.

 

[steelhurt]

I say let Ben finish this thing out since no matter he or Mason, this season will not end up successfully. I just hope he stays healthy and if he can maybe put a couple wins and pad his stats, that’s all I realistically can hope for. The team has multiple issues far too many that could be fixed this year. I predicted 7 wins prior to the season and think that’s a real possibility but the team simply cannot fix all these issues in season.
They need to take a hard look at what they have in the off season and draft wisely and spend their money in FA wisely.

 

[fogdoctor]

Since it does not matter, just let Ben go 5 wide the rest of the season and jack up some stats.

 

[SteelerSask2]

I'm my opinion yes. See what you have on the roster so you have clarity for the off season. Are you bringing in someone and drafting a guy? Honestly on a better day yes Ben is significantly better but you cannot say he was better today. He was ****** horrible.

 

[slashsteel]

I think at this point they should know what they have at the QB position. Season isn't officially over so you don't throw in the towel. It won't end well with whomever is at the helm. Might as well let the HOFer ride off into the sunset. Not his fault they handcuffed him from the getgo.

I find it hard to know what they have when they employ incompetent people to call the plays. The majority of the snaps Rudolph has taken have been with people who should not be in charge of an NFL offense.

Yeah that bad decision making runs deep.

 

[SteelBuckeye]

Everybody talking about drafting a QB. Name one coming out this year who is actually worth drafting over OL, DL, CB, ILB, and a true deep threat WR. I know some of those needs SHOULD be filled through FA, but I don't see one QB coming out that I would want on the team at the expense of filling needs that can't be filled during FA. Not even the suddenly revered Kenny "it took me 5 years of college ball, and boy am I glad for that extra 'Covid Year' to blossom" Pickett.

 

[MB47]

I dont care how great a QB is coming out of college, see Trevor Lawrence. Put him behind a ****** OLine with a ****** coach and it will fail spectacularly. Unfortunately we also fall into that category now.
