Steelers Press Conference (Nov. 18): Mason Rudolph, Cameron Sutton | Pittsburgh Steelers

@Trey Smith u do realize tomlin saying were waiting on him To come back Doesn’t means he’s coming back anytime sooner?

@John Doe I’m saying there were reports that’s he’s doing better and he’s still in contact with everyone giving them constant updates so it seems like there are good odds of him returning

@Trey Smith him doing better doesn’t mean much. He’s gonna be able to play when he passes two covid tests. When he can pass atleast one covid tests than I can understand someone saying he’s close. But right now that’s just not true. Spreading false hope lol

@John Doe well he has to be asymptomatic first so it’s a start. Not saying he’ll b back. Just that it’s still looking like a possibility and he’s treating it as such. I sure hope he does though

@Trey Smith AB is talented but something happened, started dragging the team down. But, with AB being there it helped Juju his rookie year. Jury still out on Claypool, he was a good pick up, but I do not see much of a progression.

Exactly. I don’t want Ben to play as we’ve seen through the years how Ben plays with no practice or after a bye week. I want to see if Mason can put up a performance similiar to last year against the Browns. We don’t have Ju Ju and it’s a new O line, but I think with a full week of practice if he can put up some numbers and move the ball the critics will have to rethink their position on him.

Well Ben will be playing is what it sounds like…with no practice and coming off COVID…good Lord. I hope this is one of those games where he pulls out a miracle, but like I said he usually plays like poo in these situations.

@Ellie Gonzales they could use both of them-in certain situations Rudolph adds a threat of running-IMO people been overky critical and would like to see him get another start-he should be getting in some extra throwing this week and should be better prepared-Ben isnt exactly pinpoint acurate himself on his best days

​@Terence Campbell I hadn’t thought of that..great idea. Switch them up to throw the Chargers off. I don’t think Tomlin will do it though, he’s set in his ways. If Ben plays like poo though you would want to pull him since Mason practiced all week…but I just don’t see it happening. Like I said Tomlin set in his ways, and it would be seen as disrespectful to Ben.

To blame?

@Rikki Hodgins When you are the backup and playing for a potential starting job you take advantage of opportunities. Mason didn’t get a lot of help but he missed tons of easy throws that would have been enough to win. If he plays Sunday I hope he plays well but I’m praying Ben suits up

@jw1 youre right but in life some people are born good some people have to work and failure is what creates success in most people.

@Rikki Hodgins I agree with you there Rikki but when you’re talking about being one of the best 32 Qb’s in the world sometimes you either have IT or you don’t. The saying parents tell their kids that “you can be anything you want to be” just simply isn’t true. Some people can work their asses off to be an NBA or NFL player and never come close. Obviously Mason is much closer than most so when people call him trash that’s simply not the case. He’s still in that 1% of elite athletes but unfortunately for him and us he doesn’t have the tools to be a starter. That’s just my opinion but hey I thought the Steelers drafted TJ Watt too high because of his last name so I’ve been way off before.

Played well is an overstatement. I feel for the guy but at his age and level of experience his inaccuracy just isn’t acceptable. He’s playing worse across the bored then Ben is on his decline. There’s no reason why he has no accuracy on deep throws and has little to no mobility while completely healthy. On top of that he just can’t make quick decisions. There’s been way too many times were he just sits in the pocket and chucks out a pass with poor timing or poor placement

Lmao ain’t no way you just said that

Bahahahahaha. Kirk Cousins is Tom Brady compared to Mason. WTF have you been watching?

@China Man The people just troll. They can’t really watch football

The weight room has nothing to do with throwing velocity. You ever seen Aaron Rodgers arms? They look like my Grandma’s

@jw1 🤣🤣🤣🎯💯

@jw1 lol

You mean like the ball he threw 9 yds over Ballage’s head for an int? Or the one he threw into the dirt when Ray Ray was wide open in the end zone? Or the slant he missed Dionte on in the 4th qtr that would have won the game? GTFOH

@jw1 Or the two he completed that would have won the game and Muth and Johnson fumbled

@Ellie Gonzales 100% true

Uncle Rico could throw the ball over them mountains, Mason throws em in the dirt

Rudolph sucks difnt you see him against detroit? These Rudolph fans have no say after the way the he played and kept us in a tie with the worst team in the league

@sactown steelers SO THE TWO THUMBLES IN OVERTIME HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TIE? PLEASE COME BACK WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON.

Dwayne isn’t better than Mason
