All true.

[@gregred88]

Bingo.

[@Rick-rj4bq]

🎯 hell the play he got hurt on was due to pocket panic. Watch the All 22 and it clearly shows his first read wasn’t there but CA III was wide open to his left and Najee was wide open to his right and both were walk-in TD’s. But he panicked and ran through the pocket and got creamed. His injury was self induced due to panicking instead of reading his options.

Right now hes trash frankly thats all hes ever gonna be unless he makes a giant leap which would suprise me I mean all of a sudden hes gonna be calm in the pocket and be calm enough to go through his reads and start scoring consistent tds, thats what the job requires I think not.

Canada was part of the problem, and the OL is part, but it seems Kenny has a confidence/leadership problem. The leadership issue is big because the offense is young and don’t have veteran leaders like Pouncey, DeCastro, Heath, or Ben.

Kenny has had the same amount of chances as Rudolph. They both had one game without Matt Canada against the Bengals. Kenny threw 12 less yards than Rudolph, and 2 less TDs. That being said, 1 of Masons TDs was completely GP. If you look at the stats, they played pretty equal(besides the one insane catch where GP barely got his feet in, which should have been a better ball) Pretty sure Mason only had 3 completions over 10 air yards, with multiple missed deep balls that Kenny would have been crucified for.

I agree 100 % with the original post. Kenny has has numerous chances and Mason has been relegated to the scout team. I'm tired of hearing about Matt Canada when Kenny missed multiple open receivers every game. I don't care who the OC is if you can't hit an open receiver.

[@jacklambert1521]

What worries me about Kenny is that he looked mediocre even when Canada's playcalling DIDN'T suck as bad as it usually did. I've seen him miss or just flat-out not even see wide open receivers far too many times to chalk it all down to Canada being a peewee coordinator with an NFL job. He also shows zero chill in the pocket, and gets happy feet after just a second of scanning the field and not finding someone open. I want this kid to succeed. I want him to become the face of the franchise, because he seems like a swell guy. I'm just worried Pickett's struggles may have more to do with him simply not being a good QB, rather than being strictly a coaching issue.

You can't lose your job because of injury really? No one told Drew Bledsoe that when he got hurt and was replaced by some young kid. How did that work out for the Patriots?

[@a312cr]

No I am not comparing Mason Rudolph to the G.O.A.T.

[@rgriffin921]

I think it’s just the glimmer of hope that makes the fans want Mason. If Kenny from the preseason had shown up at all it would be a different story.

[@Gungadin0112]

Yeah if get outta here.

[@ksmooth1973]

Yeah spicket go play a bunch of scrubs like you did in pre season

[@TreONeal25]

Just tell Kenny it’s the 4 quarter

[@fstlnj29]

Big Vince was right on Hard Knocks when he said, "Gotta compete"

[@blisshyatt6350]

As far as I'm concerned, Mason earned this start and if he has a repeat performance than he should continue as the starter

[@PressureP2323]

People have to understand Mason has been with us for 6 years. He’s been working watching and grinding for 6 years. If Kenny was an established player as far as proving consistently that he can get it done then he should be granted to come back and start BUT he is not established. Mason just balled out and did more than Kenny has ever done in ONE GAME. Maybe our QB has been with us this whole time steeler nation .. Sunday will be the test. GO STEELERS

[@jefferytokarsky1930]

If Kenny let’s go of his ego and looks at Mason’s story and at Mitch’s ... he could learn a lot about life, not just football. Comparing Mason to Ben is a heck of a lot different than comparing Mason to Kenny. Even Bradshaw had to fight for QB1.

[@jefferytokarsky1930]

@@PressureP2323 No need to wait for the offseason. It got interesting last week. From Major League, “We won one game. If we win another, that’s called a streak.” I want to see what happens in Seattle before thinking about the offseason.

First time in 2 decades that as a Bills fan, I'm not jealous of the Steelers situation at QB.

[@ghostknight4091]

kenny best game is a 16 to 10 win with no td should say how good he is

[@Atheos-1]

A TD to Dionte that was incorrectly ruled a drop.

I still dont think adding a td make it any better but yeah it should have been a td

[@cbalexander4444]

I remember when Trubisky was starter and fans were chanting “Picket” and now Picket hears the fans chanting “Rudolf” 🤣😂🤣

[@tomcollins1441]

I thought that Mason had a good arm then and I think he has a good arm now. What sucks is that the Steelers cannot evaluate quarterbacks and that's why Mason went without a long enough sample size to determine his talents and that's why they sat well who knows why they sat him

[@misterwirez7731]

That is a ridiculous comment. How many QB's have the Browns drafted since returning in '99, 26? Quarterbacks are a roll 0f the dice, a gamble. Sure they can look great in college, run a pro offense, pass for 42 touchdowns in a season, and some succeed and others don't for whatever reason. They sure picked a good one in 04. Mason was drafted in the 3rd round as a backup. He was never drafted to take over for Ben when he retired. He was to be the next Landry Jones (Bens backup).. The only reason he got ANY STARTS, is because Ben went out for the 2019 season in week two. It didn't take long, five games and Rudy was benched for Duck Hodges. He cracks under pressure and throws picks.. The "Masonites" have brain fog and rose colored glasses. We will find out Sunday if Mason has it, because it is the hardest place to play in the NFL. The Steelers have won ONCE in Seattle, since 1976, when the came into existence..

[@just_2swift]

​@@misterwirez7731Mason is better than KP and everyone knows it.

[@misterwirez7731]

@@just_2swift You may be right, but so far, he had one decent game in 5 years, vs a weak Bungles team. I think both are mediocre at best and Mitch is hot garbage. But to think Rudy is the QB to lead us to the promised land is silly. They have to draft another.. or maybe it is coaching.

[@just_2swift]

[@leetraviusmckay314]

"Chuck does not believe in Mason Rudolph" 😂

[@wraith1117]

Either Kenny or Mason is a far better choice than Mitch. Wasting 3 games on having Mitch just killed us. Kenny may have done well in a couple of those games, last time he played he was doing pretty good. But I think they should roll with Mason this next game just because it seems to be working.

[@Barca4Life777]

Mitch is a legend what ya talking bout

[@Mandy_39]

I'm a Bears fan & I tried telling all Steelers fans Mitch is horrible so I'm glad you see it! He can't read the field, has happy feet, his accuracy is atrocious, he isn't a leader and he gets worse as his confidence drops! He will NEVER be a starting QB in the league & shouldn't even be a back up...

[@Barca4Life777]

@@Mandy_39 Ye he's atrocious lol

[@jr7205]

So…. We’re just gonna forget that Canada is gone and now we’re just starting games without him don’t make a difference?? 🤦‍♂️

[@ChannelChickenStreaming]

He got injured missing an open throw to choose to get stuffed at the goal line and get injured. I bet Rudolph would have made the throw instead, which is why I would still go with him this week.

[@Quepasa_mufasa]

Fan base always liked rudolph. He’s the brodee

[@brooksorlando4881]

Pickett was a big reach in 1st Rd. He was a Rd 3-4 talent. It was just a weak class, Big Ben had just retired, and he was local kid. It was perfect storm

[@zugbrugh6472]

maybe if kenny wants to play he shouldn’t suck. we gave rudolph one game and he did better than pickett has ever done

[@montychambliss6254]

He's gonna hate being Russ' backup next year

[@Andrew-ec4ev]

The one problem with the Steelers is obviously Tomlin

[@efurniturehouse1]

Tomlin needs a fresh start somewhere else

Baker Mayfield practically lost his job because of injury

[@scottkeller8890]

If KP doesn't like the situation, maybe he should practice harder and win his job back.

[@Nyx_88888]

Mason needs more games to see if he's improved, always thought he was gonna be good

[@bocagoodtimes1460]

Mason was incredible…..he’s the hot hand.

[@brandonmastin7823]

I dont think mason has been given a real shot at being the starting qb yet this was his 11th start, Kenny and trubisky have both put out more starting tape in the league than Rudolph

[@Watts17]

He’s had 25 chances, as that’s how many games he’s played so far to show he’s the guy and hasn’t been able to do so, he’s been below average in the majority of his starts so he has no right to pout or be pissed off about the situation him and Mitch have both had their fair share of chances and they both suck

[@kgraham64kg]

To me the answer is simple, start Mason, if it goes south, back to 8.
