I didn't know the Steelers tried to pick Landry up when Ben was injured.

We can't undo what has been done, and looking back doesn't really help anyway.
The moral of the story here is that many fans are finding out for the first time what rooting for an NFL team is like when the QB isn't very good.
Landry Jones winning Super Bowls for the Patriots isn't the mental image I was looking for!

They sure did and he likely would be starting right now after Rudolph bombed.
They'll score as long as they can get into the endzone
They didn’t take him in R1.
They didn’t take him in R2.
He was taken in R3... for a reason.
After Rudolph was drafted, Ben slammed the pick. So, in order to massage Rudolph’s ego, they stated that they had a R1 grade on him.
It’s akin to me telling my wife that she looks great in that dress. “Which dress?” you ask. EVERY dress.
Exactly. What are they going to say? “We thought Mason was a late 4th around talent. Not a great prospect but we are gambling in him in the third because we don’t think he’ll be there next time around.”?

There's also the 2 issues that: 1) The Steelers FO had no way of knowing Rudolph wasn't a R1 prospect and 2) Rudolph may *actually be* a R1 prospect.
His only problem right now is confidence. He never displayed this in college and it can be fixed. If you take someone with Rudolph's skill, work ethic, and football IQ and infuse Duck's attitude... you have a pretty good QB.

Blasphemy.....everybody knows the short, undrafted guy with the quirky back story and cute nickname is the savior.

If I was a mad scientist, I would merge them together into one QB, using the best abilities of each. And when I was done, I would take that one new QB with the best of both.... and send them to the practice squad.

Agreed, I still believe Mason will turn it around.
I think they really did have a first round grade on him and that is alarming. Those big 12 defenses are bad. Many QB's look good playing against them until they get to the NFL and teams figure them out. Landry Jones and Baker Mayfield come to mind.
Rudolph wasn't a bad gamble for round 3, but he just doesn't have what it takes to be starting material. I see no part of his game that is above average to build around.
His release looks a little slow, he's too easy to sack, he isn't accurate to hit player on the move. The arm is average. He's a check down type of QB. I have more hope for Duck, who's a rookie, and IMO has plus accuracy and mobility to his game.
Trade back into the 1st round and draft a QB. Ben is 38 and is coming back off an elbow injury and the Steelers have NOTHING to replace him with
What quarterback? This is not a strong class.

You don’t think so? I’d disagree. There’s several potential franchise QBs in this class. Not that the Steelers have the draft capital to get one of them.
Do you not watch College football?
This is what happens when you neglect the QB position and let the franchise QB decide how the Offense is run and install his completely unqualified friend at OC.
You get an offensive shitshow that is the 2019 Steelers. Ben, Rudolph, Duck, it didn't make a lick of difference. No Antonio Brown to cover up the glaring flaws, and we have seen them front and center.
It's not the quarterback. The Offense is simply garbage on a much deeper level. The Offensive Line blows, the WR's are mediocre, and our backs are not good overall.
We have no Quarterback Coach to help the young guys.
Our top RB is made of glass and not a true workhorse.
Our top WR is not a #1 guy. Period.
Reality struck big time for the Steelers this season.
Rudolph's arm strength actually looks legit when he does step into his throws. Unfortunately dude got injured, but played pretty well for that limited time

Right...it's Ben's fault.
Just stop it already. You're delusional.
Agree. If he could have stayed in the game I think the Steelers had a chance to pull out the win.
I am betting on another separated shoulder (AC joint), so likely Duck going next week with the start. Oh well, almost time to start looking at talent for the upcoming draft.
Its not Bens fault.The Steelers need to put a ton of effort in the offense on the Offense ( Every draft pick and free agency). The Steelers have an uphill battle to climb with this putrid offenseRight...it's Ben's fault.
Just stop it already. You're delusional.
This post would be so much better if the topic was OC-- What Are We Doing ???

All these INTs are Fichtner’s fault?
You never find the replica of your franchise QB.
We might have to really consider .
I think we really need to consider finding revamping ournoffense for a dual threat QB.
As if this moment, I'm strongly consider Cam Newton.
Throw Lynch in there next week and still will be the same shit show. Just maybe it's not the qb's fault. Again OL should hold a lot of the blame as well. Also wr's drop key passes!
Array title="DesertSteel has a reputation beyond repute">
Because all-pro Lynch would prove it's all Fichtner? Lol

I'd be happy with any of the legit bridge-type QBs out there. Newton may even be in that category at this point.
My point is and can agree we have young QB's and that is hurting us. It goes way further then that and this offense has so many other issues. I don't think the QB is the main one! Crap centers as well!

Cam ain’t coming unless Ben is done with football
