You say "entitled". I say "tired of being screwed".Quote:

Pickett was a third round graded QB and everyone else saw that but us. If he would have been drafted later and sat as a backup a few years I think he’d had a better chance at starting and playing well. Maybe sitting a few years now will give him that opportunity to develop. But right now we have an established veteran that in his bad 2023 threw 26 touchdowns and 8 interceptions. That’s light years better than Pickett. And Fields who has thrown/ran for 26 and 20 touchdowns the last two seasons and is head and shoulders better. Not being able to bring Rudolph back hurts the QB room a bit but overall it’s a better place today than it was last season with Kenny and Mitch being QB1 and QB2. I feel we can now draft a guy with more potential than KP late and use that roster spot to develop a guy and not stash the best QB on the roster.
People are still on the Rudolph bandwagon. What you saw at the end of the season was the highest of all Rudolph high ends. [emoji23]. The guy is just a career 2 or 3 QB. Nothing wrong with that but he’s not a great NFL QB and not someone you’d prioritize to get a contract to at any point in the season…
If the stories about KP being an entitled brat are true, well, good riddance. I was certainly rooting for him to be successful but if he wants to be one of them snobby players, he can go and rot behind Hurts for a while.
Maybe Fields can do for this team what KP couldn't.
Good riddance to them both.Quote:

The more I read from reliable sources about Kenny's sour grapes attitude, the happier I am that his entitled butt is gone. His performance was one of a guy who should be fighting for playing time, not feeling like he deserved to be crowned. Things get harder from here on for him.
What social media post is this? I have seen nothing reported anywhere about Mason and the Steelers pulling a deal from him.Quote:

wrong.. he was drafted in 2018. His “sophomore season” he was thrust into the starting role which was 2019. The person used a comma and then talked about the Lions game where Muth and DJ fumbled.Quote:

How did you jump from 2018 to 2020 for a sophomore season?
Mistakes happen, don’t be the guy that triples down on being incorrect.
Mason was drafted in 2018.Quote:

Why are you skipping over 2019 when Mason actually played a bunch of games when Ben when down?
Are you confused because he didn’t play at all his rookie year in 2018?
It was not a good game for Rudolph against the winless Detroit Lions team in 2021....Under 5 yards per pass attempts....Yes the fumble of DJ and PF did not help but the very short pass to PF with no time out and few time left overtime was just a awful decision so it would likely not matter...Still a bad game when you have under 5 yards per pass attempts.....Even at 6 yards per pass attempts is bad,under 5 yards,ouch!
I have some doubts about that story. I'm not saying that the Steelers might not have changed their mind on the Mason contract, but do you really think they let Mason's agent come from out of town and not tell him beforehand that the offer was withdrawn? I'm sure teams change their mind about contracts all the time. Today's NFL players are just a reflection of modern society: everybody looking for a way to get offended.Quote:

Over it. [emoji23]

It's pretty weird how Tomlin says we want volunteers, yet keeps running into these "hostages" who end up leaving the team pissed off.
Probably just a coincidence.
Bad and questionable players (performance) usually leave teams under bad circumstances— i.e. traded, cut or not re-signed. Funny how that happens.
Kevin Dotson and Steven Nelson were bad players? News to me. It isn't an isolated incident. The problem goes all the way back to LaGarrette Blount and James Harrison. Players seem to love to play for Mike Tomlin but don't have any appreciative words to say about him when they leave.Quote:
