Are they thinking of trying to trade rudy? Just strange they take a qb here.

Thoughts?

Like I’ve said before.. they are going into camp with all four in case of injury … if all four look good they trade one… if one looks bad maybe they cut him… they also may simply try to sign the seventh rounder to the PS… but they are definitely taking all four in to the preseason at least
 
They drafted a QB so they could guarantee they got him. Rudolph wasn't making the roster at his price as the No. 3, so he was gone regardless of this pick.
 
I think Rudolph should be gone and bring in a cheap vet QB. We need someone w/ a lot of exp to help the young guys out. I wasnt a fan of taking another QB in the 7th round
 
Rudolph isn’t going anywhere anytime soon whether we like it or not. He’s the only one with any experience on this team.

I read an interesting piece of information Friday (I think it was on DK's site). It seems that while Canada left before Pickett arrived at Pitt, Pitt continued to run the concepts/offense installed by Canada. So, actually, Pickett has the most experience running Canada's type of offense of any QB in the room. Does Rudy's one year learning Canada's offense really make him so valuable that he couldn't be moved? I guess we'll see ... but there's a $3M savings if they trade or cut him.

The Steelers aren't paying $5 million to a third-string QB. He'll be gone before the season starts.

Think so? Interesting take. I just thought they would hold on because of the experience factor.

Will be interesting how it unfolds you might be right.
 
Gotta feel for Mason Rudolph. Slides in the 2018 draft, gets picked in the 3rd round as heir apparent to franchise QB. Patiently bides his time, sitting and learning behind Ben for years.

Ben retires, Colbert & Tomlin allow themselves a full fifteen seconds to ponder their fate with Mason as the QB1. Steelers sign Trubisky then draft not one, but two QB's.

It is what it is. 🤷‍♂️
 
Rudy’s salary doesn’t preclude him from being a third QB.

All four of these guys combined only make about what a 5th year option QB like Baker or Darnold makes. Spending less than 20m at the QB position in total is very rare these days…which is where we are at with all 4 rostered QBs.

Now if/when Ola outplays one of the other 3 that’s when it gets interesting just from a roster spot perspective because we sure as hell aren’t carrying 4 into the season.
 
I thought the same about Rudolph leaving but, he and Trubisky have short contracts. Both will look to leave one way or the other as soon as they can if Pickett looks the part and wins the starting job right away. This guy has PS written all over him assuming he sticks there.
 
Very questionable pick IMO...

I watched this kid play during the NFLPA Collegiate All-Start game this year...and he was by far the worse QB on the field out of the 6 that played that day.

In fact, he was so bad, I was wondering what he did to get an invite to that very minor college all-star game...

They aren't bringing in anyone veterain or not. If by chance they cut / trade / Mason they still have Trubisky & Pickett, plus the 7th rounder.

I seriously doubt Mason is cut, possible trade but even then doubtful.


Salute the nation
 
Why o Why with all this team needs you sign a another QB. Trubisky was signed with fire works and now he and Mason must be really shaking their heads. Both have experience and you sign another QB that has not played one snap in the NFL. He was still on your board would you not love to see what was on this board? Tomlin loves to say he knows are system so you what trade or cut Mason? Remember all these QB's still have a offensive line that is awful, as this site runs down Mason and Trubisky who played in Chicago with a line like ours that stunk and he was on the ground more than passes thrown. Just another head scratcher under Tomlin

Mason sucks balls. We received proof of this several seasons ago. And I don't remember any fireworks for Glitch other than a handful of people on this forum thinking that he was Ben's heir apparent.

You just love you some male fantasy. I bet you are one of those cross guessers. People have to guess what the hell you are.

I am guessing ****.

Mason had several years to show any sign of being a QB1. He didn’t.

You never fail to bring something totally irrelevant into the conversation.

Who says he will be 3rd String? He might beat out Mitch for #1 or Pickett for #2.

The Steelers actions in free agency and the draft seem to suggest Rudolph isn’t in their plans. Rudolph has a lot of convincing but very limited opportunity to change that.
 
I don't get the whole "poor Mitch, signs with us and we draft two QBs". Do you honestly think the contract they signed him to says "guaranteed starting QB" or is it more likely the Trubisky was signed to a "bridge" contract with a good chance to start IF he wins the competition. If Trubisky signed that contract thinking he was definitely going to start without competition than that was foolish, this is the NFL and that spot should be earned, not hand delivered for a guy that is still unproven no matter who they are. Competition is only going to bring the best out of these guys
