Maybe, but unless I'm wrong (entirely possible), I believe the Duck started a game or 4 that Rudolph could have.
Odds That Rudolph Gets Traded?
- Thread starter Ron Burgundy
- Start date
I'm guessing Rudy will be on the roster for the entire year. He'll be #2 throughout. Trix will be #3 in case of injury or they need a spark.

His showing in pre-season will determine a lot of his value as well.

Yes...That's a true statement.
Bakers trade value was weighted down by an 18 million dollar guaranteed contract… even after the browns ate some of it and he gave some up, it still was a big contract that you couldn’t get out of if you want to cut him
Baker would be our 8th highest paid player at his discount rate… and of that nearly 5 million dollars every penny is guaranteed … if we traded Rudolph he would cost a team 3 million in cap space and none of it would be guaranteed.. we would eat a million dollar signing bonus …
If baker had the contract flexibility and cap hit Rudolph did, he would have been worth more… with his potential locker room baggage, being able to be cut with no penalty is a big selling point

I heard the entire interview. "Wex" always has good takes. First, he "modified" his earlier opinion re Rudolph emerging as the starter.
But..he says there's little chance they'll trade him because Tomlin & Co. value him as an experienced backup. (And his salary isn't a big deal.) He believes there's no way they go into the season with Pickett as No. 2. And he's not that gung-ho on Trubisky.
The bottom line: Anything can happen at QB as the season progresses.

There's no reason to trade Rudolph this year. People forget how much coaches value the "QB room". Rudolph is the only QB on the team with experience in Canada's offense. He can be a positive in the room, helping Trubisky and Picket get up to speed.
I wantt Rudolph to ball out in all 4 pre season games. I want Tomlins little brain to explode.
Are they going to carry 3 QBs? That is the only question and I would guess the answer is no, they won't carry 3 QBs on the active roster.
You are correct. Duck finished the week 5 game due to a Rudolph injury and then started week 6.
Rudolph returned after the week 7 bye.
Duck replaced Rudolph in game 12 and started weeks 13-17. Tomlin used both in week 16.

Probably not.
He’s a serviceable backup and the other two guys are questionable as to what they can do now.

I’m hoping Canada’s offense isn’t Canada’s offense. If they trot out the same garbage as last season, it’s not going to matter who the QB is.

I have said it before I want Rudolph to play lights out this preseason and win the starting job just to watch the glorious meltdown so many fans will have. The entertainment value will be off the charts. He gets so much unwarranted **** from so many.
So far so good. He had apparently done well yesterday while the other two struggled. And I agree that the criticism of MR was over the top.
That said I'm rooting for either of the other two to outperform MR just so we can say that the Steelers knew what they were doing.

IF he does do extremely well we might have a real trade possibility with him or Mitch.
I'm going to wait for at least 3 practices before passing judgement.
At least. I hope everyone does.

I'd like to see Rudolf absolutely tear it up and justify his perceived FO pedigree. Wouldn't that be amazing if he started the season and made it through a winning SB ???
I for one would be on board regardless of fall out.

im rooting for MR because the ******* hate for MR in this place is stupid.
MR earning praises day 2.
“All the receivers say he’s [Rudolph] one of the most accurate quarterbacks. It’s crazy how accurate he is. He doesn’t get enough praise and attention. He’s just as in the running as each of those guys.”
That is what I was hoping they'd be saying about Pickett.
