Saw a quarterback agreed to sign with the Steelers, and it’s not Q-Aaron. I thought the Mason Rudolph rumblings were a joke. Guess not.
I understand why the Steelers brought him back. They know him and what he can (and more important cannot) do if they have to put in him as an injury replacement. Feels like either Rodgers or the Jameis experience. Can't lie, watching Jameis try to throw 60-yard darts to DK will be entertaining. It will also surely include many head-scratching moments.
I like the move if he is the backup. He is a good No. 2. (Yeah, you can take that a few ways.) if he is starting, this season is over before it begins.
Myles Garrett’s change of mind suddenly makes more sense. “You get two chances he’ll be in a game that you can hit him in! AND $40 million!”
Rudolph provided the faintest glimmer of hope when he replaced Levis. Them they made him the starter and Titans Nation collectively went “Oh.”
If you have the 2000 Ravens defense and the 1972 Dolphins running game, Rudolph will get you a handful of 13-7 wins.
And yet it looks like he might be the Steelers' quarterback this season. I think Rodgers is going to end up in Minnesota and Wilson with the Giants. It is tough for a coach or GM to get himself fired in under five seasons in Pittsburgh, but Omar Khan might pull it off. His handling of this offseason has been disastrous. He saved his money to spend on a quarterback, but isn't going to get one, so the Steelers end up with a backup-level player starting at quarterback and minimal help elsewhere. And this was a year they had a great deal of cap room, too. Just brutal.
Three for $35M seems awfully high for the Seahawks to pay for an aging WR the Rams tried for months to trade.
