Rudolph got off to a slow start. He also was throwing from awkward positions more than I have ever seen a QB throwing because of pressure in his face and around him. He also refused to leave the pocket for the most part.

Excuses? No. He’s got to get himself to positions in the pocket where he can get a clean throw off.

He missed some easy throws, made some bad “Donovan McNabb” type throws, he missed some “Ben Roethlisberger 2017” type throws.

I don’t have a lot of hope that this isn’t his norm but maybe he’s still getting his feet wet as a starter and coming off the concussion...maybe...
