Mason Rudolph
-
This isn't wishful thinking... I honestly do not worry about the Ravens and Steelers adding Lamar Jackson and Mason Rudolph.
Honestly, I hope both teams just drafted their QBs of the future. Realistically, I think Baltimore thinks they did.
I think Pittsburgh thinks they've upgraded from Landry Jones and Josh Dobbs... and maybe if they get lucky Rudolph could be even more for them.

He has a chance to be the best quarterback in this draft class but I sure as Shmuck in hell hope that's not true
You're not the only expert that believes this.
Much to the dismay of Rizzo, some guest analyst on the show after completing his analysis of Mayfield, Rosen, Darnold, and Allen, when finally asked who he thought was the best QB, he said ....Mason Rudolph!
Maybe it was this guy.

Well, those draft Experts? at CBS Sports had Rudolph as the #1 qb too. He's the #1 outlier. Otherwise, about the 5-6th best qb this year, depending on who you were asking. Maybe the Steelers will get hit by lightning and find their next Joe Montana third round special, but the odds are better you drafted the next Colt McCoy or Cody Kessler.

This was a draft rich in QB's. Had it not been so, Rudolph would have been projected a 1st rounder, a second round projection at worst....that not coming from me but from what I read and I believe it.
No way on earth Tomlin and Colbert would have traded up to get this guy if they felt the odds that Rudolph was gonna be a McCoy or Kessler...they already have a McCoy and Kessler!
Besides, he's a big dude at 6'5" 229...

Yeah I (we) know Rudolph has ideal size. What caused him to drop was less than NFL average arm strength, and lack of anticipation receivers breaking open. Doesn't mean he can't or wont succeed, but don't view this guy as Ben's eventual replacement- yet.

So question then regarding the idea of Rudolph being a "Big Ben Clone."
What knocks or reservations were there - if any - regarding Big Ben's game when he was drafted? How do those compare to the (perceived/real) knocks on Rudolph's game?

Same things were said about Landry Jones and how Dobbs would develop blah blah blah. Rudolph will never be more than a fringe starter. I do not fear Mason Rudolph, in fact I hope you think he is the future, he is pedestrian.

No, they were not. I don't know how I feel about Rudolph. I certainly didn't believe we were going to draft a qb. However the steelers had a first round grade on him. They sure as hell didn't with Dobbs or Jones and no one, I repeat no one talked about Dobbs or Jones like they have talked about Rudolph.

"May be the best"? Sure, but the odds are not good.
That said at the price of a third... might as well take a shot.
More importantly I think since Rudolph did not even go in the 2nd, Gip should take everyone to lunch who considered any kind of Rudolph related bet with him...
... and have to wear a Steeler throwback jersey to boot.

Ryan Mallett had a bad attitude didn't he?

Wasn't terrible. Otherwise the pats wouldn't have taken him.

Well the Steelers drafted their Brandon Weeden. Big slow brained dude who doesn’t go through progressions and just waits for his first read to get open so he can play catch.

Isn't that just the easiest comparison? Because of the osu connection. He really isn't like weeden. I have zero expectations for him but he's not Brandon weeden. He sure as hell isn't almost 30 as a rookie either.

I was the one that intially made the connection and yes, it isn't terrible to make. Save for the age, there are several factors that make it appropriate.
-Same school, coach, and approach to the passing game philosophy.
- Same conference that does not value defense in the slightest.
- similar height, arm length and hand size
- (to date) and inability to process basic defensive concepts pre and post snap.
-appearing to have slow eyes moving from his first read resulting in late throws, high throws and general inaccuracy that stems from lacking anticipation.
Meanwhile you're rebuttal is.... that he isn't 30?
