The truly amazing part is that the only guy in the room with an nfl arm has somehow been sitting behind a couple trashcan 1st round picks for 2 seasons

When you are excited about mason Rudolph you know Kenny isn’t it

I wanted us to give Mason a real shot when we went out and got Mitch, so I'm very glad to see it turn around for him, but I don't understand how nobody is mentioning that post Canada, first with Kenny as the starter - first game, we went out and got a 400 yard game. Second game, Kenny got hurt showing heart trying to get it in. All of the trash play since has been with Mitch. I'm not saying "put Kenny in", but I feel like all of the media is just skipping past "how much of our look this year was mostly just down to Canada?"

It's not as tough as what Rudolph has gone through in the last few years.

Rudolph was never that bad and how Myles Garrett was never taken to task by the media for assassinating Rudolph's character in an idiotic attempt to save his own ass is shameful.

Just look at mason in the pocket compared to kenny. Thats all you needa see

Mason was playing well until he got his bell rung in that Ravens game. After that hit he seemed more timid which led to bad play, but now he's apparently over it.

Rudolph was never given a real chance to shine... he was dropped in place of Big Ben and the offense was built to what Ben was doing... Also, a couple of bad days and everyone judges... If Rudolph gets them into the playoffs and wins a game or two in... Rudolph will be the #1 QB at start of training camp... Pickett will be the 2, McSorley the 3, and Trubisky will be released this off season... I'm old enough to remember this guy that was booed off the field, and called a bum, among other things by the Steelers fan base... his name was Terry Bradshaw...

Rudolph was a lights out QB @ OK state. He’s always had potential

Kenny doesnt hit wide open receivers. Often throws it 3 yards behind them. You cant be the guy and be mediocre.

Bradshaw was benched multiple times during his first five seasons in the league.

Mason was performing admirably until he experienced a significant impact during that Ravens game. Following that hit, he appeared more cautious, resulting in a downturn in his performance. However, it seems that he has since overcome those challenges and is back on track.

Mason wasn’t even that bad back then he had a winning record. All Steelers fans owe him an apology especially tone diggs. We judged him off what we seen from Ben which wasn’t fair. Give this man his flowers and apology.

I want to see Rudolph up against the Ravens. I with the way Rudolph handled the Seahawks, it looks like he finally found his legs. If he takes us to the playoffs, even if we dont get to the Superbowl, he deserves the starting QB position.

Kenny May have been the QB when the team was 7-4, but he couldn’t or wouldn’t put up points. The Defense carried him as they did last year. Why has the o-Line looked so good? Mason is mixing things up and spreading the field. Nothing we have seen with Kenny ever and especially Trabisky.

Man that draft with kenny was god awful for qbs.

The real person who got messed up is Trubisky. He shouldn’t have come over. Rudolph should have started because he knows the offense. Let Kenny learn from someone who knows the language/offense. Then let him step in.

I like Kenny, he had a great game against the Bengals the first time this season, next game he got hurt. We go on a 3 game losing streak because of Mitch. Kenny (I believe) is a good QB and he will continue to develop and learn. I hate that this league everyone wants an instant gratification to success. That’s not how the world works and I believe Kenny is putting in those reps and will be great some day. And I hope it’s with Pittsburgh. I say we start Kenny next season after the OC comes up with a new playbook that can work well with Kenny and Mason. Start Kenny, have Mason be the back up, and get Mitch the hell out of Pittsburgh.

Who made kenny the crowned prince of Pittsburgh 😂

Blame Tomlin for not playing him earlier in the season Got punished for the BS in Cleveland 2 years ago

Mason is bigger, stronger, faster, more confident, stronger arm.

You didn’t watch if you said Mason was bad in 2019. 16-10 td to Int, he had some great games vs Seattle, Baltimore, Jets, and Browns the next year. Plus had a good game vs Detroit in a Monsoon. Mason has done more in 10 games than Kenny has done in 25 by a long shot yet people still defend Kenny and would always trash Mason before 2 weeks ago 🤡

KP is a backup. The dude wasn't like that in college.

Rudolph took his opportunity and has played well...happy for him.

I say keep Mason at this point - but honestly if a good draft pick comes up- of course drafting would be a great idea - but Mason is our guy right now

Idk why anyone would think the Steelers starter is gonna be anyone who’s not already on the roster. There is no chance they go get somebody else at this point. There are holes all over this team to fill. We have 2 serviceable QBs.

So but if you think it was tough or is tough rather for Kenny to sit back while Mason is doing his thing how do you think Mason felt after a very limited window of opportunity. Kenny has had two years

MR should start if he can continue to get it done. The Steelers need to draft and fill other needs, and having a QB that can be efficient etc. is important. The Steelers don't need to turn into the Browns and burn through QB after QB after QB. KP got the offensive coordinator fired when it may have been more him than anything else.

I don't know how far Mason takes the Steelers but as a guy that works every day, I'm impress the he's still on the team

I think mason could sign a going rate starter money 1 year deal to prove he's the guy for the steelers. Then if he does steelers pay him big next off-season. He's only 28 aswell so it's not like he can't be the franchise qb he might have 8-10 years still in him to try to go win a chip. Warner was 28 when he got his starter job for the rams 🤷‍♂️

I’m not a Steelers fan but if I was GM I wouldn’t even be thinking about the QB this draft. The game has changed, build the offensive equivalent to the steel curtain. You can’t even evaluate a QB properly without a decent to good oline. I’ve lived in Dallas my whole life so I have no dog in this but the Steelers are one of the premier teams in this league. When teams like the Packers, Steelers, Cowboys, Patriots, 49’ers and Bears are good, it’s good for the league.

Mason should've been the backup from the start QB not Mitch

Given that Rudolph continues his good play in the last reg. season game, I would like to see both him and Pickett back next season and fierce competition between the two to be the starter. Having a solid backup is crucial in the modern NFL as well. Don't let either walk if it can be helped.

Kenny had 1.5 games away from the offensive sinkhole named Matt Canada and he looked good for those games. As long as Mason is firing, he’s the starter. I think Kennys gotta compete for the start next year tho

Kenny deserves Josh Rosen treatment

Where's Pagano?? Rudolph had a solid start again. I'm sure he'll find a way to discredit him again.

What separates Mason from KP? A lot! Mason has maturity, humility, dedication, etc. I like watching all his interviews, very thoughtful in his answers. AND he has the talent! Strong arm, poise in the pocket, goes through his progressions. Unfortunately, I don't think he will stay in the burgh next season. Another team will offer him big bucks.

I'm really feeling Rudolph. I hoped Kenny would work out but Mason is what a Steeler is all about, never giving up and continue to work like a dog. 🖤💛🖤💛. I love this Buffalo game.

when you really look back at rudolph he had winning season his first season that ben went down and kenny has a winning record during his last two years, granted kenny hasnt wowed anyone cept in the 4th quarter where the kid shines. Rudolph is what 5 6 years in the league now and he is comfortable with the game and he is playing some great ball. i think next year you take kenny and mason and have them duke it out in preseason. and you take the better one but whoever loses is the backup. cause if kenny imrpoves this offseason with new oc that plays into his strenghts man it could be fun to watch. mason knows this system and he is good in this system. so it will be fun to watch. i love both qbs all i know is mitch needs to pack his bags

Went to the game & it was devasating being a hawks fan and being Hate f****ed by Mason Rudolph. But there RB's really ran it down our throat

Penix on the Steelers is a really ingesting thought

The scary scenario for a Browns fan is if Flacco goes to the Steelers

“With new information comes new opinions.” -Tone and also me at work

Finally everyone else sees what I've always seen in Rudolph. He looks like a legit starting QB. Great deep ball, and has that hard nosed, refuses to let pressure affect him kind of attitude.

Kenny was pretty good after we canada and before he got hurt. I’m not down on him at all. But we gotta ride mason

It's understandable. No one is content playing backup, but as a coach you have to go with what works for you.

Mason as a starting quarterback next year Kenny as the back up. But if it's the other way around I don't care as long as we keep both.

Whenever y'all make that noise that you did after he said there is still time it reminds me of the little toys in the claw machine from toy story 😂

Kenny SHOULD be respectful and supportive of Mason.Mason has a higher career passer rating than Kenny, but Kenny was given nearly two full years at QB1, whereas Mason has been given about 9 starts over 5 years time. And has been a class act about it.

Mason closes out strong it's him with Kenny as the back up(plan) with Mitch gone and if he's smart spends an offseason with a QB guru like Hurts did. Steelers shore up the line in the draft that n QB were the biggest weaknesses.

WE WATCH THE SHOW ALL THE WAY FROM MEXICO AND HERE WE GO STEELERS HERE WE GO !!!

Don’t forget Mason is only 28

call me crazy but i hope its rudolph qb 1 next year

Probably the best time to need a QB with the upcoming draft

As a Seahawks fan if Penix goes to the Steelers that would hurt a lot 😂

If Mason gets them to the playoffs, he’s QB1 going into the off season.

fans are fickle,they booed mason relentlesly and now praising him for savng the team.

No Question mark on the QB...It'll be Rudolph or KP depending on how far they go this season. No reason to get another QB if the QB's you have are working out. Matt Canada was the problem. Trubisky was also a problem. Trubisky is on his way out, and Matt Canada is gone. Find a good third stringer, and problem is solved. This team was built around KP and Rudy knows the playbook, and the Steeler way. Don't fix what is working. Since Canada left, both KP and Rudy have put up 400 yard games. That tells you it was the OC. Not the QB.

I’m not gonna say that Mason will do what Tom Brady did in his career but coming out of college Mason’s drop back and delivery reminded me of Brady. Maybe now as a veteran he comes into his own.

That TC Williams shirt is 🔥!!!! Remember dem Titans!!

I can see KP doing well in the UFL. Maybe the Maulers if he wants to play at home.

Everyone always brings up the Miles Garret incident but it was the shot he took against the Ravens that derailed Mason. They brought him back too quickly after it and looked awful in the pocket after it.

• dump Trubisky • draft linemen and secondary dudes • let Kenny and Mason compete for the starting gig next season

I gotta say...Rudolph was never bad but given that he was following Big Ben he just couldnt stack up. But now that we've seen sub standard QB play for the Steelers, Rudolph's same type performance looks so much better.

No doubt Mason is playing well. The O-line has improved as well. That usually makes it easier for a QB to step up his game.

No way are Steelers new GM so stupid as to draft a QB 2024 😂 - We need 300 lb monsters on OLine & DLine 🍻

Love the Shirt from JJ from remembering the T.C. Williams Titans undefeated season 1971 with Coach Boone Great Guy Mr. Watt ❤

Pat Mcafee is like the straight muscular version of Tim Dillion 😂

It’s called taking all that hate he got and turned it around and used it as motivation and I really hope he stays we be stupid if we lost Mason Rudolph!!!

Kenny better have lost his job! He had 6 tds over 12 games. He is a backup at best.

Rudolph does what Kenny and Mitch couldn’t do. Get 14 the DAM BALL

Kenny- not the guy Mitch- not the guy Mason- Making his case so far.

I think Kenny still has it, but sitting on the bench watching may help his development. He may also get a little more humble and show some Gratitude Mason is firing on all cylinders right now. Mason has definitely paid his dues and never quit, trying to better himself.

Mason rudolph wasn't bad he had a bad o line and bad receivers dropping passes

Kenny and Mason will compete for the starting QB position next year. That's what Mr. Tomlin will say and do. Unless someone gets hurt...

Kenny has to be upset with it but then again Mason has out played and kept the steelers in the running

steelers fans blow my mind how they still think kenny is the guy lol

I like watching AJ as the other guys talk. There is so much going on up there!

Not saying Mason is Brady by any means, but remember Drew Bledsoe? An injury can lead to more than just a temporary change. Being a nice guy doesn't mean you're the right guy (or perform at a high enough level).

kenny would get hurt if you threw a napkin at him

I'm finally back on board with Tone this week. If the Steelers come back exactly the same next year, I'm gonna be extremely pissed! FIGURE THIS THING OUT! STOP THE INSANITY AND STOP BEING SCARED TO GO AFTER BIG NAMES IN THE OFF SEASON!! This whole we only draft and promote from within is maddening. Open it up and find the best fit for QB wherever he may be. I highly doubt they do.

Mason was never terrible. He had 1 bad game after a concussion...dude was never given a chance despite having better stays then kenny. Kenny getting as much protection as he gets is ridiculous. Literally just the steelers trying to save face over a terrible pick🤷‍♂️ NO ONE was taking him first 3 rounds. No need to waste a first round on him besides selling more jerseys

People put so much stock into where guys are drafted, Rudolph has played better football then Pickett but hasn’t gotten near the amount of opportunities because he wasn’t a first round pick

If Mason finishes strong, you franchise tag him. Then he's the starter next year. If he falters as the year wears on, you bench him for Kenny and let Mason walk the following year, and if Mason shines, you give him a big extension. The hard part is if he plays somewhere in the middle.

Mason and kenny have the exact same stats under the same offense. But people attacked mason and made excuses for kenny😂 hell mason was benched and still put up more tds in one season than kennys whole career😂

Like they say, Don't buck the horse that wants you to ride it.

Love the Joe Alt drop at the end. Dude is legit! Go irish ☘️

Mason wins, Kenny and Mitch simply don't. Thats the difference. The franchise QB is a rare thing. How about running with the guy who wins?

Pickett and Rudolph deserve a shot because both were hampered by a bad OC until a month and a half ago. Mitch has gots to go

When your perennial backup/3rd stringer is better than your starter…it’s time to find a new QB.

That T.C. Williams shirt is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

you are really asking this question even after Joe Flacco, who didnt play until week 13, has more tuddy passes in 5 weeks for Cleveland than Pickett has in HIS WHOLE CAREER.

Mason Rudolph is only 28. Rudolph could guide the Steelers sleigh for a decade easy, if he continues to play at this level. 🤘😎

Kenny is one year removed from being a Rookie. If you recall Mason didn't light up the score board his first couple of years, Give Kenny a chance to Grow.

I like JJ as a media guy

I have a theory: Kenny was better than Mitch but Mitch was raked with initially starting and Kenny learning behind him. B/c Kenny was better than Mitch, he was thrust into the starting role when he really needed more development time behind a actual good QB. Mason was never given a shot truly and Kenny (probably with a slight ego) was not paying attention to Mason. Mason who we now all know from reporters and spectators at training camp, was the best QB at camp. Mason should have been starting instead of Mitch and Kenny might have even more so prepared year 2. But due to business, Mitch was given the starting shot and failed and Kenny was rushed into before he was mentally ready.

Solid career backup

I remember in 1974 Chuck Noll benched Bradshaw and started Joe Gilliam for the first six games. Gilliam ran afoul of Noll. Bradshaw returned as starter. And guess what ? Superbowl. Don count out either guy.

Kenny Pickett, like most pro quarterbacks need YEARS to really learn the position. And, they depend on the offensive coordinator to create a good game plan that exploits the young QB's talent and helps him develop. Pickett didn't get time as a backup to learn, and Canada stuck him in a TERRIBLE game plan. Pickett might end up as trade bait. But he will make a significant impact on some team, even if it isn't the Steelers.

Judging Kenny after a year isn't fair to him considering the situation he was put in. The modern NFL is in a weird place where everyone expects a QB to light it up within a year or two. Not everyone is Mahomes or Stroud. A lot of all time great QBs needed a lot of time before it clicked. Mason is good now, so they should roll with him But giving up on Kenny would be idiotic
