Week 17 Game Thread

stillwright said:
It is the timing of the throws. Especially the throws over the middle. In the NFL the windows are very small. Rudy pulls the trigger on them. Pickett and Tribisky didn't.

That's 5 years of preparing and working on his craft. It's paid off and so far I was wrong about his capabilities. Which is great.

I’m not a lady but k doubted whether Mason would do it two weeks in a row. What’s your prediction for next week? Who starts?

Kenny isn't the guy anymore...RUDY is QB1 next week.

While we probably play their scrubs - I still go w/ Rudy. The offense is waaaaaay better w/ him at QB...

Hard not to make that decision. They hid behind KP’s injury this week. A healthy KO will sit next week. He’s not going to be happy. Let’s see how
professionally he handles it.

Whatever. There wasn’t a lack of execution and a locker room that appeared to be falling apart. But in y’all’s world, the HC is supposed to control all of that.

So, apparently his job is to look a fashionable and take credit for the good, but not bear any responsibility for the bad.

Mason's pocket presence is infinitely better than the other QBs on the roster. Literally two years of incompetence on offense gone, yet some on here believe that an All-Pro QB wouldn't be able to succeed in this offense.

Yes- But, Pedigree dictates.

A lot of people were wrong about him it appears. He has made progress since 2019.

Remember who was the play caller then

Yep, it is all Matt Canadas fault. Kenny can’t stop checking down because he was told by Tomlin and Canada to check the ball down and guys were never open. If they would have been Kenny would have seen them. Can’t wait for Kenny to comeback and show everyone why he was a for round steal!

Leaders have no more of a crystal ball than anyone else. **** happens and it’s their job to respond to it. Most people left this team for dead two weeks ago. He’s rallied the troops. If you’re going to blame him when things go wrong, give him his due when things go right.

Yeah, they told him to lock in on his first progression.

What a great win. I don’t understand why these receivers are getting open now that Rudolph is quarterback. They were never open when Kenny was playing and I just don’t get why they would do that. Najee had a great game and he’s been nothing but classy while splitting time with Warren. Hopefully Kenny is healthy next week so he can lead us to the playoffs!!

There she is!!! You owe me a vapor distilled water as I just spewed it from my mouth reading this!!!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

This doesn't even makes any sense LOL

They were open often, and he didn't stay in the pocket or see the reads. Plenty of footage showing this on youtube.

If they would have been open Kenny would have hit them between the numbers! I have been watching Kenny for years and he is the best quarterback on the roster. Mason is just a clipboard holding 3rd string bum! These two games mean nothing. Just because the offense is playing better doesn’t have anything to do with him.
 
mason has never shown pocket prescence in his career. he has done better in the last two games

He has always had a good deep ball but a few of his short ones today were very high and the WR made good plays to bring them in

historically he has not done well in the red zone but the running game covered for that today. THey have not called on him much in the red zone so no way to know if he has improved there are not

I would guess that if KP is given almost 200 yards in the running game his passing game might improve also
 
Unless he completely sucks next week, there is no question that Rudolph "should" be back next season, especially with Trubisky's money coming off the books.

The only real questions revolve around how committed to Pickett they remain and whether Rudolph has any lingering negative feelings towards the Steelers, considering how they treated/neglected him the past couple years.

What?! I didn't mean that, just that the play call was ******* horrible

The offense is playing better than at any time in KP8's career. They've put up more points than at any time in KP8's career. They've allowed the defense to rest more than at any time in KP8's career. The unit, as a whole, is playing with more confidence than at any point in KP8's career. The only change since we last saw KP8 has been at QB. Those two games mean a lot and MR2 has had a lot to do with those wins and the better play of the offense as a whole.
 
The main difference I see is Mason stands in the pocket, but he has a pocket to stand in. The line has been much improved the last 2 games. Kenny does get happy feet at times but I still feel that is something that can be corrected. I still think you have to ride the hot hand and let Rudolph start next week. Regardless you have to give Mason credit for not sulking on the bench and being prepared to play

Next week will be big for Rudolph. If he puts together another solid performance he could probably be back as QB1, no competition.
 
Cras108er said:
He definitely won’t be here next year. Someone is going to snatch him up.

I can see him coming back here if they move on from Tribisky. That is if no one offers him a true open competition at a one spot.
 
Cras108er said:
Someone is going to offer him $$ and an opportunity to start. The best he can hope for here is a competition with KP.

That means a decent comp pick, won't complain

I think the problem was his first read was the short out 99 % of the time. So he throws it.

Funny. This past off season no one offered him anything. Was thinking about going into real estate I think. Then Steelers called and offered him a spot.
