Mason showed some real guts

[SteelerInLebanon]

He may never start another game for us or ever be a star but after the treatment he has received from our own fans I will always respect the hell out of him. He has played hard not bitched about his position and been a very team first guy in camp. Then he gets booed loudly and then just throws a perfect TD. We acted like Eagles fans tonight and it was embarrassing.

 

[madinsomniac]

Yep some fans in every stadium are dipshits

 

[Chicoman]

I can't say anything bad about Rudolph tonight. As a Steeler fan I was a bit embarrassed hearing Steeler fans boo the kid. He did nothing to deserve that.

 

[Atlsteelers]

Did you really expect anything different?

 

[SteelBuckeye]

Malone, Graham, Stewart ... Mason isn't the first Steelers QB to be booed in his own stadium.
Not saying it's right.

Yeah but to be fair those guys were starters.

After reading the nonsense over in the Rudolph trade thread, I've come to the conclusion that there are those that hate fans who support Rudolph more than they hate Rudolph.

Fans are frustrated that we’ll get stuck with a clown show at qb! They weren’t booing him they were booing the thought of him replacing Big Ben. He sucks! They don’t want to buy expensive tickets to home games to watch him tie Detroit!! cant blame them

 

[Hypocycloids]

Out of all the TD's thrown it appeared that Rudolph had the most difficult throw...a 26 yarder deep in the endzone with pinpoint accuracy.
Hope I don't get into trouble for saying that.

LOL..uh no, they were booing him.

 

[SteelerFan448]

I didn't get the booing, it's completely unnecessary. Mason isn't the future at QB here, but he's also done nothing but handle himself like a pro.

 

[jitter77]

Im not a Rudolph fan, but I thought the booing was pretty bad. It was a tough situation for Mason, Mitch goes right down the field then Mason comes in and first play gets strip sacked. I thought all 3 QBs looked good. I think Mitch was the best overall. Showed good mobility and accuracy just looked very smooth. Will be interesting to see the rotation for next game.

 

[SteelerSask2]

I feel people think he has a punchable face. Which he kinda does. He has never done anything to earn this hate.

 

[MT~Forged]

As a Steeler fan, I am extremely proud to not have come from that disrespectful shithole that is Pittsburgh. I would gladly follow them if they left that town, just like the Ravens did. When you see a display like that, you deserve to do without. Don’t like the guy, so be it, that is your right, but those dumb ***** are a typical representation of Pittsburgh.

 

[Omar10213245]

Yeah the booing was uncalled for.

And, granted it was the 1st preseason game of the season, he came out and did what he needed to do, so props to him

 

[BLITZ]

random question. when Mason threw the perfect TD pass. did the fans cheer? man I hope so

Wow. Not sure what to say about that. Tell us what you really think. Been to the Burgh twice. People were pretty damn nice. I agree it was a little stupid. But yeah ok. Don't think that's gonna go over too well.

Been there for games 3 times, spent 2-3 days each time. My sister lived there for 3 years. With my impression as well as hers, I stand by my post. If it upsets people, they should really look to their locals that have earned this review.

I don't understand the heavy hate for Mason. And I cannot speak for your experiences in Pittsburgh or your Sister's. Weren't mine. In a low attended game it doesn't take many voices. They certainly misplaced. You cheer for all the players who represent the team well. Mason always has. But yeah I think your statement is a reach.

I'd love to hear the details as to what you and/or your sister experienced in pittsburgh, to deem it a disrespectful shithole, and why you think any other city or stadium would be any better

I have been to other stadiums, a number of them actually. Never said any of the others were better.

Gheez, we get it you and others detest Rudolph, but get the facts right. Rudolph wasnt the cause of that tie. He had driven the team to FG position….twice in OT, only for DJ (fumbling) and Friermuth (not getting out of bounds) to have miscues.

Exactly. We can think he isn't the answer, but to boo him at this point is ridiculous. Whatever their reasoning I don't care for fans who act like that. And this is coming from two posters who think he is a backup only.

Bullshit. I have been literally everywhere in life. Every big city has good and bad fans. I have lived here over a decade. Been to countless games and the majority of fans act right. You are welcome to your opinion no matter how narrow minded and inaccurate it may be.

Ohhhhhh! So then, they all had a healthy amount of disrespectful fans?? Sooooo, maybe it's not just a Pittsburgh thing?
