Sports Illustrated : Steelers QB Mason Rudolph Becomes Trade Option for Jets

The New York Jets have found themselves in an untimely situation as they now try to find a replacement at quarterback.

Zach Wilson limped to the sideline in the Jets' preseason opener and while the team hopes it's not an ACL tear, there's some worry it's a significant knee injury.

Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Steelers are keeping their quarterback competition alive, but giving the answers to the test before it's handed out. Mitch Trubisky seems to be the starter, with Mason Rudolph working as the backup with Kenny Pickett.

All offseason, the rumor has been that Rudolph could find himself being traded during the preseason to a team in need of a quarterback. His asking price is rather low, and maybe, the Jets are the team that will be looking.

Rudolph adds to a group to allow New York to operate with less fear of replacing Wilson. If their second-year QB needs most of the season to recover, they could give the job to White, but predicting solid results is a guess and nothing more.


Why not go after Jimmy G? Robert Saleh has the connection back to SF, it's out of conference, they only need him for the year and his cap isn't THAT bad for a decent starter... Depending on the pick you can probably even get SF to carry some of the salary.

That contract is an albatross. Just look at what Wentz was traded for, and his ceiling is far higher than Jimmy’s. Both have been hurt a lot.

Who else is there when we discuss player/position grades? PFF.

I just love the conversation surrounding this bit this morning. Wilson complains about line, Wilson leaves, line grades #1 (preseason wk1, I know, but still).

You have people jumping to the conclusions already saying it's easier for the line to protect without Wilson holding the ball forever, you have people who are suggesting the line only improved because they traded Wilson and got the draft picks in order to take the lineman (one selected 9th overall with Broncos pick), and you have people reminding those guys that they would have had the 10th pick anyways if they didn't trade for Adams.

I just enjoy the Seahawks fans' overall commentary in general right now. People who love/hate Russ. People who love/hate Pete. People who love/hate the Hawks. They are a very volatile and mixed group.

Ah, so the same people whose expertise in O-line grades led them to the conclusion that Tyron Smith was a top 4 PLAYER in the entire NFL last season.

They're gonna need San Fran to carry a lot of that cap... Or do some big releases. They have less than $4M of cap space available right now. But, if they find out Wilson is going to be out for the full season? I like that move. Work a conditional in there even.

It's pretty much unanimous at the watering hole I frequent. Happy to see Russ gone. As the fans in Denver are about to find out, Russ is the biggest Primadonna in the NFL, and every year he regresses a little bit more. The black Jeff George.

That's a lot of money for reselling $20 tickets...

By percentage, Washington was the lowest attended football team in the NFL last season with just 64.3% occupancy of their home games. That was 15% lower than the next worst team (Lions - 79.9%). They were the lowest combined draw (home and away games) at 80%, almost 10% lower than the Lions (89.1%).

Lot of injuries announced yesterday after the first round of preseason games. Had 11 players moved to IR yesterday. Does not include Browns C Deaton who tore his ACL yesterday, Zach Wilson's unknown serious knee injury or this one:


I suspect by the end of the week we'll have around 30 new players on IR. There were over 30 placed on IR before the 1st games began.

It has a couple decent shows. Total Access, GMFB. Their pre-game show is above average and they have a lot of really good talent. Rich Eisen, Rapoport, Kurt Warner, Gregg Rosenthal, Michael Irvin, Garafolo. Generally it is better than ESPN for your NFL news content. But for game coverage, you're not getting anything, all the games are on other networks. So just a question of whether the price is worth it for you.

RedZone is where it's at for me.

Wholesome content. Two year old Aria Rubens of De Pere, WI has become a viral sensation for having her tea parties at the Packers training camp. She has been filmed and photographed offering players her Disney princess teacup as they come/go from the field. Wearing a Packers cheerleading outfit of course. Looks like she has shown up with her tea set on at least 3 separate days.

They could happen anytime but needs to be officially completed (on the wire) by 4pm EST today.

Edit: Looks like around 45 were on the wire yesterday. 22 on Sunday. 4 on Saturday. 6 last Friday. Some every day of the week.

Honestly? I don’t think suspensions for off the field behavior should be a thing. Let the legal system punish any infractions for things unrelated to their employment with the NFL. If their conduct is unbecoming, then fire them.

So I say too harsh.

Kyler Murray is a top 10 QB?
View Quote
Looking at the slide, their top 10 QB's, in no particular order, are:
Josh Allen
Tom Brady
Justin Herbert
Aaron Rodgers
Pat Mahomes
Matt Stafford
Joe Burrow
Russell Wilson
Kyler Murray
Lamar Jackson

So the argument then is who is left out/who should be in? The only possible arguments I can think of, who MAYBE should be on the list, are:
Derek Carr
Dak Prescott
Kirk Cousins

I would trend toward leaving Carr and Cousins out.

Cousins puts up very safe/good numbers without ever winning. He could potentially end up being one of the best quarterback of all time, without a winning record, the way he is headed.

Carr had that one fantastic season, but he's generally a top 10 yardage guy, and on the bubble with passer rating/QBR, but usually lower on the TD chart.

Dak's numbers last season were arguably better than both Carr's and Cousins' and probably is the best suggestion for being added into the top 10 list.

For who should be left out? I actually would probably remove Lamar over Kyler. That would be heavily based on the fact that Lamar has been declining the last two seasons and missed 5 games last season. He has a dramatic decrease in TD% (9.0 to 6.9 to 4.2) while seeing a sizable INT% increase (1.5 to 2.4 to 3.4). He also saw a sizable drop in both passer rating (113 to 99 to 87) and QBR (83 to 67 to 50) while surrendering a MUCH higher sack% (5.4 to 7.2 to 9.0).

Lamar might have more talent/higher ceiling than Murray, and that's probably why he is on the list, but I would drop him due to having two consecutive seasons of declining play across the entire quarterback stat sheet.

I'm not saying fights don't happen at normal practices, but they seem to happen at a much higher rate at joint practices.
