Dionate Johnson says he hopes Mason Rudolph is the Steelers starting QB next season

[El Kabong]

What player is going to say "Gosh, I hope he doesn't ball out and get a starting job"? Or when asked what he thinks: "No comment"?

It's only more than that to the people that want to take that narrative.

Yes but also, Kenny hasn't had time with a real offense and the short time he did have he did excel. The jury is still out on Kenny. We know what Mason is...

Let's turn it around. The Steelers draft a hot new WR. Our starting QB (whether it's Mason or Kenny) says "I like the new guy. I hope he starts across from Pickens." Is DJ cool with that statement? I bet he's not.

How about a nice diplomatic answer like "Mason and Kenny can compete in training camp, and may the best one win the job."

What was the exact question? If it was which QB do you want to start, that’s one thing. If it was about his feelings on Pickett, that’s one thing. If it was about Mason, that’s one thing. Answer means three different things depending on the actual context and question.

Your're treating it like it's a court of law. It's the media. It ultimately makes no difference what is asked. It only matters what is answered.

It's not that deep. Players have friends they are closer to on the team than others. Mason may not even be on the team next year. DJ is being a good friend and hoping for the best.

I wish he would just drop the subject (like he does passes).

Good point.
