    Backup QB

    Rudolph is a free agent.

    Mitch is bitching that he should have waited.

    I don't see either coming back.



    Who would you sign or draft to back up KFP.

    Re: Backup QB

    Yeah that's not an easy question to answer. Rush, brissett. Or someone the NEW OC is familiar with to help install his offense

    Backup QB

    Without knowing the system or anything, Mike White and then a third string guy?

    Re: Backup QB

    Case Keenum or Brissett

    or resign MR (probably have to pay a little extra to get him to stay)

    Re: Backup QB

    Draft Stetson Bennett in the 7th round or someone off that list like Bridgewater or Keenum or Brissett.

    Just get Trubisky out of here.

    Re: Backup QB

    I don't mind Trubisky sticking around, the problem is that he thinks he's a starter when he's not, so he can go.

    Bring in Keenum or Brisset.

    Re: Backup QB

    Tyler Huntley - he's better than Lamar Jackson!

    In all seriousness....Blaine Gabbert. He's gonna stink if he has to play. But he should be able to mentor KP on how to prepare and all of those intangible things. Like Batch did at the end.

    Then draft someone who might be able to play a little bit to be the actual back-up.

    Re: Backup QB

    There's no reason not to wipe the slate here. We know Rudolph is going to be a liability if he ever has to play, so we might as well cut him loose and see if someone else can do any better. Trubisky can go get fucked in the ass with a tire iron, get him out of here ASAP.

    Just sign some Keenum/Daniels type and use a low draft pick or take a shot at a UDFA project guy to round out the roster.

    Re: Backup QB

    Id like to keep Mason if we can keep his spirit high, although, I do not think he wants to be a fulltime backup. He is still looking for his shot at QB1, and if some other team gives him that opportunity I don't blame him for jumping at it.

    If we keep Mason, and is on board on being the insurance back up like batch was, this would be IDEAL! Then I say let Mitch go. Perhaps draft another QB in the mid rounds .

    Re: Backup QB

    Wonder how much Matt Ryan will cost once he is cut from the Colts? He'll be 38 and his starting days are over with, he's from PA also. He could be a good mentor for KP.

    Jacoby Brissett has the NC State connection with Canada(lol)/Faulkner

    Re: Backup QB

    I'd go Keenum at QB2 and Stetson Bennett at QB3.

    Re: Backup QB

    Another thought....say the hire a new OC. That usually means that they find a QB familiar with that OC's system lying around somewhere and bring him in. Might be hard to predict until that decision is made...

    Re: Backup QB

    Jacoby Brissett is low-key probably the most accomplished backup who can actually give you good enough QB play to win when called upon. However, I have no idea about his availability or whether he's a realistic option for us.

    Re: Backup QB

    I would want a backup that can come in and win a game or 2. There may be some vet options come available as we move through this offseason. I feel we can expect KP to miss a couple games each season so I would rather have the seasoned backup over the young arm QB. Guys like Dalton or Tannehill or Daniel Jones if those teams choose to go with someone else.
    Since they probably won’t, just upgrade what we have and I’m happy enough.

    I’d be happy with Mac Jones as our QB3.

    That’s what I’m saying. I’d take Mike White though in the mean time. Young, players like him, has proven he’s got a little game…

    I think White and QB like Brissett will go to a team where they can be a starter during the next season...Right now Teddy may be the best option for the steelers

    Well Teddy Two Gloves would get along with Kenny Small Hands. People’s heads might explode if two QBs wore two gloves…it’s unheard of…
