Mason is back

Aiyuk did not screw the steelers over last year. Most of the Aiyuk stuff was media fluff. As for A-ron if the Steelers are dumb enough to offer him a huge contract then they are dumb enough to wait on him. I do not blame the player he is a free agent and can do what he wants. The steelers put themselves in WR / QB hell. I do not blame any offensive players being hesitant to come here. If they want to give Rogers a deadline then that's fine, but realistically there is really nothing out there. Is he makes up his mind today or a week from today or it is not going to magically change the QB crop available.
I don't get the obsession with Manning. He has barely played in any college games and people want to sacrifice 2yrs of drats for him. At this point he is just a name with a lot of potential. He will only have one real year of experience so he will be very inexperienced coming into the NFL.

I've heard some mention possibly trading for Joe Milton in New England.

Based on geography, we get a lot of Tennessee games on tv here. That guy was always intrguing to me.

6-5, 250, can run and has a Josh Allen-type arm. He's the same size as Ben Roethlisberger was as a rookie, but a better athlete and a stronger arm. I don't know anything of Milton's mental game or his accuracy but he is a better version of Anthony Richardson to my eyes. Project? Yes, probably as New England drafted Drake Maye the year after drafting Milton. Coming from that Veer n Shoot offense that Tennessee runs didn't help as it's basically a run-first and throw deep passes offense with little in between.

But on physical tools, that kid has what most NFL QB can't match. Might be worth a shot.

AGAIN. that type of player is a DEVELOPMENTAL prospect. What have you seen from the Steelers over the past 19 years shows you that they can develop a young potential QB?

Ed Zachary! Milroe has the most upside in the draft but would be wasted in Pittsburgh. That’s why I want a smart, experienced, accomplished guy like Ewers.

Ran a 4.6 at the combine, he moves well in the pocket. Not everyone needs to be Michael Vick. And who cares if he's 26, if he pans out, are you telling me you'd pass on him because he's a few years older than other rookies? So you ONLY get him for 10 years instead of 12 or 13? Dumbest reason not to take a player.

Isn't he a poor man's KFP?

7 years in college vs 5, with the last one being the best. That doesn't mean he sucks, but how many starting QBs had ever been 26 yr old rookies? Maybe Kurt Warner?

Rudy is just a couple years older with 6 years NFL experience heading into this season. Assuming the Steelers can develop any rookie QB, wouldn't it be better to grab a much younger prospect?

He's MUCH bigger than KFP, and has a much stronger arm. He's also someone you can grab in the 4th or 5th round because of his age, some think if he were 2-3 years younger he'd be QB2 or QB3 in this draft. He's the most pro ready, because he spent plenty of time under center, running play action. Again, I'm not too worried about age. If he can be the guy, even if I only get 5-6 years out of him, it's better than what we've had since Ben retired. Besides, wouldn't KFP have been a lot better off if we had taken him in the 3rd or 4th round? Not have the pressure of the first round, can develop at his own pace? We're looking at a 36 year old and 41 year old QB, 26 is just a baby!

Some of you guys are unbelievable. You still believe that the playing for the Steelers is what every player wants more than anything. You don’t want to believe that maybe, just maybe, players don’t actually want to play in Pittsburgh. Just because YOU want to see them on the team doesn’t mean they want any part of that.

Kahn has done a good job of going after players to make the team better. Sometimes you just can’t sell players on the job. There are a number of reasons that make that sale harder.
1. The team is perceived as being cheap when it comes to semi-meaningless perks.
2. The team is perceived as being cheap when it comes to coaching and support staff.
3. Players still value Championships, and the Head Coach has proved he is not a viable option to that goal.
4. The Head Coach is rumored to make promises to get players to sign, only to not honor his word.
5. The weather tends to suck.
6. It is a small market that will limit other financial opportunities.
7. The Head Coach employs philosophies that no longer work.

I’m sure there are a few more, but just those make Kahn’s job more difficult. Now if they were still playing in the era where Teams had complete control over the player ………………. Many of those wouldn’t matter.

I don’t know where the hell you got all that from me saying what I did about Omar Kahn.
I never, ever said or indicated players would be lining up to play here.
My criticism is vp of Omar Kahn who imo is not the a GM to run this team. He’s a numbers guy, a very good one but has had no experience in player scouting prior to his current position. Andy Weidel is the person that has proven experience and should be the GM not Omar.
He’s got played by the Aiyuk and SF and now is allowing to team to be held hostage by the the narcissist Rodgers. He’s should have locked up Justin weeks ago and the team could be filling holes now but no, they’re waiting on this tool and have missed out on signing quality DL and CBs.
These players care about money, period. Show them the money and they will come. It’s never been about a certain coach or team it’s about dead presidents and that’s all it is with them.

Yup obviously the Steelers are not hung up on having the next QB be a 15 year fixture or would’ve never signed Russ or offered Erin Raggers a deal

10 000 dollar question. Besides 13 games in a perfect situation that the Vikings didn't really want him back for.......what really seperates Mason Rudolph and Sam Darnold?

About $92 mill. Give or take.

Yep. Mason can be a good mentor and spot starter if we don’t get anyone else at QB. But I would love having Dart at 21.

A mentor? The guy was benched how many times last season with full opportunities fora starting job? Went 1 and 4…….9 td’s 9 int’s. No wonder we are where we are if this is the guy that will provide mentorship for the next young QB. Good lord.
Look…I get what you’re trying to say, but c’mon. He’s been brought back for familiarity of the system. A system for the last 5 years that has been close to the bottom of the league offensively. Oh Joy.

What a ****-show.
We are in shambles folks.

Tennessee was a god awful team though, winning only 3 games.
Mason won 2 out of the 3.
The best QB on the team!

I’d like to have Rodgers but at this point I’d tell his agent that we need an answer by 5:00 pm on Friday or we’re moving on.

Unless you are trading next year's 2nd nothing to move up with. Don't panic. They can have a down year. Not the end of the world people. Im ok with this if it is what it is.

Shades and Deuce will NOT have a down year and will sign every vet they can find to get to 9 wins.
 
Don't say anything to his agent. If he calls looking for work tell him the jobs have been filled.
