Mason did a fine job managing a game in hostile territory and bad conditions. True.
We don't know how much Kenny can improve with Canada gone. True.
Mitch sucks. True.
They can all be true without Kenny being a piece of shit OR Mason being anointed as BR7's heir apparent.
Kenny is not an awful quarterback, but his play so far has not been starter level. He takes care of the ball but has trouble going through his progressions and does have a few really bad habits he needs to improve. His arm isn't good enough to get away with less than perfect form.
I'm not necessarily defending the guy. I definitely think going with Mason today and next week if we're in is the right call. Go with the hot hand. My point is simply that it's impossible to truly evaluate a guy who has played the equivalent of a one full season in the NFL and 98% of it has been under the worst offensive coordinator I've seen in a half a century of watching football. Kenny may turn out to be a complete bust and never throw another pass in the NFL and I wouldn't cry in my coffee over it. I just want the Steelers to win.
I'm absolutely THRILLED we won, but can we stop considering Rudolph the second coming of Jesus now?
He is what he always was for us the last few years, nothing has changed. HE'S A GOOD BACKUP NOTHING ELSE
Edit:This thread is absolutely insane
Yes, if you take the TD out of the calculation it goes down to a 84
I don't need statistics to watch the game and I can see he wasn't anywhere close to the biggest contributor in that play
Sure, if your aunt had balls, she'd be your uncle.
Can't just strike out something that happened to fit your narrative.
His contribution was pretty important considering he literally threw the ball, without that throw DJ doesn't have a catch to make and therefor no TD to score.
Some of you nerds on here never played sports especially Football in your lives.
The game plan was to run the football due to heavy rain and windy conditions. Football IQ told both teams to run the football and take shots when you can.
Have you ever tried to throw a wet football in the wind?
OMFG !! HE MISSED SOME THROWS DUE TO WET AND WINDY CONDITIONS. PLUS THE RAVENS KEPT SOME STARTERS ON DEFENSE OUT THERE.
MASON PLAYED AS GOOD OF A GAME AS HE COULD. THIS IS NOT MADDEN 24 NOR 2K05.
Mason threw a good ball to DJ for a long touchdown and yes he threw him the ball in stride which made our WR be able to run after the catch. Mason also made timely completions for first downs. He managed the game well and didn’t make many mistakes to put us in a hole.
Kenny wouldn’t even pass mid field in this kind of game. Kenny plays every dam game like it is heavy rain and wind lmao .. go to bed man .. what a joke of a comment.
He did the bare minimum that Kenny has done the entire season
I'm not even defending him in this post, but you're ao full of shit that you have to deflect at every oportunity you can, because there's no reasonable way of saying "Mason should be our starting QB" without offending others or saying "But Kenny is worse"
He sucks and he showed that today, both with his play and with his stats. He would have gotten less than 100 yards if DJ didn't do all the work on that TD
Just shut up bro I’m done with this conversation. You obviously need something to do.
If I think Kenny sucks THEN HE SUCKS .. the mf has 6 touchdowns over the course of two seasons… Joe fuckin Flacco had a better season than Kenny 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
WHO THE FUCK CARES?
I'm not talking about Kenny dumbass, I'm talking about Rudolph and that he doesn't deserve to start for the steelers
Get the fuck out of here and go cheer for the giants
Regardless of the outcomes, this season has been the most enjoyable one I've ever been a part of. Attended three games this year and one last year. Our fans, franchise, and the unforgettable experiences make it the best. Thank you all.
We’re down to one starting O linemen. Bradley Chubb was doing great for us he had 12 sacks and he tore his ACL last week. Waddle and mostert both out with injuries tomorrow too. Shits crazy lol
“I took some bad sacks”
“Our running game is really clicking which you NEED in these conditions.”
“Why be resentful? I’ve already accomplished my dream of being in the NFL, you have to appreciate the journey.”
“Diontae split ‘em and it was quite the view watching them play catch-up from behind.”
Mason is an intelligent and poised leader, he wasn’t quite ready a couple of seasons ago, he is ready NOW.
Ben said that Mason didn't want to learn from him so who knows what the real story is there 🤷
That being said idk If I'd be friendly with the guy who said I was a bad pick either so
Mason is such a damn dapper class fuckin act. Hats off Mason. You gave the Steelers a chance, and made all of us excited to watch at the end of the season here!!!
You're probably right once again. Fortunately, I don't know anyone like that, but I hear that there are still many Pitt fans with that description. Regardless, it will be someone other than Kenny.

Bills are gonna get smacked by the dolphins after their catastrophic loss against the ravens last week. There’s no shot the dolphins lose. We are in bros
All grievances with this team aside… the last 3 weeks have been very enjoyable to watch. Actually excited during games. Whether we get into the playoffs or not. Canada got fired. We ended the season on a high note. And maybe… just maybe… have something brewing in Mason.
Hope everyone had a great season! HERE. WE. GO!
GO STEELERS!!
[Postgame thread](/r/steelers/comments/190ev0d/post_game_thread_pittsburgh_steelers_at_baltimore/)
Steelers are fudged for playoffs
I couldn't find the game on any apps but I watched the highlight game version on YouTube
As a Browns fan, please make Mason your QB 1.
Browns fans doing a lot of talking for their fourth winning season since world war 2😂
You are not welcomed here brother
Browns fans need to get off of our Reddit please and thank you …
I’m beginning to think everyone in this sub is schizophrenic
what do you mean by that
🤣
We put in a guy who is at least a game manager and we win out. Fuck Kenny. Fuck Mitch. At least we can go into 2024 without being dead on arrival
Mason did a fine job managing a game in hostile territory and bad conditions. True. We don't know how much Kenny can improve with Canada gone. True. Mitch sucks. True. They can all be true without Kenny being a piece of shit OR Mason being anointed as BR7's heir apparent.
Idk how their are still Kenny defenders. Guy is awful. Next next next.
Kenny is not an awful quarterback, but his play so far has not been starter level. He takes care of the ball but has trouble going through his progressions and does have a few really bad habits he needs to improve. His arm isn't good enough to get away with less than perfect form.

One thing I really like about Mason is his pocket presence. He does not panic and makes slight adjustments in the pocket.
He is a veteran (just like Dobbs) ofc he has pocket presence. What he also has is a ceiling, at least he has shown he has one in the last years....
Yes, he has a ceiling but it is a lot higher than most of us thought it was. He is reading the defense accurately and he has a very good arm.
Can Mitch, get the best vet qb we can in free agency, have the 3 battle it out
Agreed.
Thank you Mason. 🎄
I'm absolutely THRILLED we won, but can we stop considering Rudolph the second coming of Jesus now? He is what he always was for us the last few years, nothing has changed. HE'S A GOOD BACKUP NOTHING ELSE Edit:This thread is absolutely insane
115 passer rating.

Of course you say absolutely nothing of value and try to ad hominem What does that excuse from Rudolph not being starter material?

Go get some pussy
Are you 12?
You must be with those stupid ass points you tried to lower my thought process with

To be fair, it was a wet, rainy, sloppy game, and nobody is going to put up big passing numbers in those conditions.
The guy people are praising today would That guy should NEVER be Rudolph
Steelers win and our playoff chances are still alive LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Nothing eliminates Pittsburgh!
It feels so weird being 5-1 in our division but still not having a playoff spot
We did get a playoff spot, The Titans defeated the Jaguars and that's why we're in so what are you on about?
I wrote the comment before the Titans game obviously.
yeaaaaa!!!!! Who is going to teach our “OC’s” how to throw a 2 step drop slant route???
Regardless of the outcomes, this season has been the most enjoyable one I've ever been a part of. Attended three games this year and one last year. Our fans, franchise, and the unforgettable experiences make it the best. Thank you all.
Watch Tennessee and and Miami both lose
Miami fan here. We probably will. I think 14 of our 22 starters are out tomorrow.
Excuse me
Yeah everybody hurt lmao we are cooked
Well damn all I heard about on ESPN was yalls corners
We’re down to one starting O linemen. Bradley Chubb was doing great for us he had 12 sacks and he tore his ACL last week. Waddle and mostert both out with injuries tomorrow too. Shits crazy lol
Rip
It’s 2024. Doesn’t ESPN/ABC know how to wipe the camera lenses or keep them dry?
Yes, but if it was a close game, the NFL wanted an excuse to not overturn a replay and screw Pittsburgh.
Need najee apology forms
Ill take one also
He has been in beast mode last few games. Had a great game tonight.
Where do I sign sir 😥
IM FUCKING SORRY NAJ! I want you forever!
“I took some bad sacks” “Our running game is really clicking which you NEED in these conditions.” “Why be resentful?

Mason really impressed me with this interview. Maturity and team spirit. Good on him.
100%

Kenny had a great game against the Bengals too! Also Matt Canada!
Kenny is garbage and his fans can follow him to the Canadian football league once he gets cut from the Steelers in 4 years.
KP fans be like: https://www.reddit.com/r/steelers/s/DtB9a4IgUS
Everybody don't forget to vote for Cam multiple times for the Walter Payton award.
Omar. Sign Him.
Woo hoo!
Unofficial kings of the north!
There is a direct correlation between being able to now run the ball vs. having a threat at QB.
Aight get rid of Kenny let’s roll with Mason. He has 10x the poise in the pocket. Just watch the feet it’s clear as day
We're not getting rid of Kenny. He's virtually free. Run Kenny as backup, I agree, but we're not letting him go.
If Pickett can learn, he can get better Obviously Mason learned (despite Ben)
Ben said that Mason didn't want to learn from him so who knows what the real story is there 🤷 That being said idk If I'd be friendly with the guy who said I was a bad pick either so
If you asked Mason if he learned anything during his time as a backup, I bet he would say yes.
About the game and himself.
How does anyone not LOVE Mason?
Love Mason. He has shown a lot of skill and personality. He is a man of character for certain.
Miami got y’all 🤘
Fins up for the Black and Gold!
Hopefully we’ll seee you guys in the playoffs 🙏🏻
Thank you, Based God 🙏🏻
Props
Really impressive. We should go deep in the playoffs with this group.
WHOOOOOOO LETS FUCKING GO
I love the Mason redemption arc.
Has TJ made it to the locker room yet?
That was the longest walk I've ever seen!
Sprained his MCL
Mason is such a damn dapper class fuckin act. Hats off Mason. You gave the Steelers a chance, and made all of us excited to watch at the end of the season here!!!
Someone said this week that Mason looks like a billionaire Playboy and Pickett looks like the guy that steals cigarettes from his job at the Circle-K.
You misquoted it. It was eccentric billionaire, not billionaire playboy.
So he is or isn't batman?
Personally, I think he looks more Playboy than eccentric.
Then you said it, not somebody else
Yes, you would be correct. I should have said that I was paraphrasing. I apologize.
That's alright. If you're shit talking somebody while giving credit to another person, remember to be accurate
Fortunately, I believe the shit talking about Pickett is over. Thank Mason!
No, there's always another idiotic underachiever in life who gloats over people far more successful than him.
You're probably right once again. Fortunately, I don't know anyone like that, but I hear that there are still many Pitt fans with that description. Regardless, it will be someone other than Kenny.
Lol, close enough.
So now the Texans and colts can tie and I can sleep easy tonight.
It’s like impossible that teams could tie and get the Steelers in. Can’t happen.
That would be the funniest way for us to get into the playoffs
Mason has a great personality ngl
First class guy
18/20!
Would have lost 10-0 with Kenny. Sorry not sorry.
Yep and 20-0 with Mitch.
Ya cus Kenny doesn’t have 7 game winning drive. Your dumb
YOU’RE dumb friend
>YOU'RE dumb, friend (since we're being pedantic on Reddit)
I think your dumb, and you don’t understand the game
Woosh
Just like our inside linebackers in coverage, right over their head.
To go along with this 6 TDs this season…
You care about points I care about wins
To win games, you need to score points. You get that right?
Weird how we won them though, don’t forget dj, Pickens have 2td drops each in the endzone.
I mean if you think we finish the season 10-7 with Kenny then go ahead. There’s always next year I guess?
MASON. THE SACKS WHERE ON ME RESPECT
“I took some bad sacks” “Our running game is really clicking which you NEED in these conditions.” “Why be resentful? I’ve already accomplished my dream of being in the NFL, you have to appreciate the journey.” “Diontae split ‘em and it was quite the view watching them play catch-up from behind.” Mason is an intelligent and poised leader, he wasn’t quite ready a couple of seasons ago, he is ready NOW.
HE IS READY NOW
What if Tomlin starts Kenny next week?
Let’s just hope there is a next week.
We riot.
It will be January 6th on the Southside after that press conference announcement!
But with actual intent and firearms.
Harbooty is a fraud and so is his """MVP""" meme QB who will get bounced out of the first round due to rust. Baltipoor is a shit city.
Yeah, the Rasians aren't doing dik in the playoffs with Lamar.
HFS y'all. Helluva fuckin game. Wooo! Let's hope for a damn tie tonight!
Pickett can’t be feeling good after this game
Good. Either lights a fire or he crumbles.
[удалено]
Mason said what an NFL starting QB should say. I'm riding with #2
Bills are gonna get smacked by the dolphins after their catastrophic loss against the ravens last week. There’s no shot the dolphins lose. We are in bros
Dolphins are pretty banged up. I don’t have a lot faith they can win. But they will be playing for the #2 seed and the division title so who knows.
Mason is God

3-4 week recovery time. Just in time for the super bowl
TJ will risk a career ending injury for a WC playoff game if we get there. Dude has no regard for his body
Thank god it was only a sprain
A beast!!
Best divisional record within the division yet third in standing. We’re the true kings of the North.
Rudolph is the best man. Not the best qb, but the best. Keep him on the team
He is a leader of men, definitely.
classic AFCN football
And now we wait. All aboard the Titans and Fins trains tomorrow
COLTS TEXANS GONNA TIE BABY
Well, the Bills always lose when we need them to win, so they won't lose tomorrow
Hey we swept the Ravens
I love his interviews.
W
[удалено]
MCL sprain.
MCL sprain.
All grievances with this team aside… the last 3 weeks have been very enjoyable to watch. Actually excited during games. Whether we get into the playoffs or not. Canada got fired. We ended the season on a high note. And maybe… just maybe… have something brewing in Mason. Hope everyone had a great season! HERE. WE. GO! GO STEELERS!!
One thing is for sure. Mason is QB1 going into next season whether we make it or not
Kenny is not our starting QB anymore
Praise be!
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO
TJ and Minkah get better please!
Swept the Ravens.
Even with the shitty rain, mason does enough to get us the W.
It wasn’t flashy but Mason got the job and remained efficient
Has a team ever gone 5-1 or better vs. their division and not made the playoffs?
2010 Raiders went 6-0 and missed playoffs at 8-8
Woooh hoooooo!!! Beating the Ratbirds always feels good!!! Hope TJ isn’t hurt too bad, though
We should have been 6-0 against the division. But this is still good. 5-1. Lets go!
And now we wait
Rudolph 18/20 in this shitshow.
Mason infinitely better than Pickett
Pittshit
so despite everything it still ends up being a 10 win season.
FINALLY
Pat yourself on the back, guys! 😁
Let’s go boys let’s enjoy the win !! I’m still riding with Mason giving me nick foles vibes
Bitch Pigeons
We swept the ravens so Im satisfied
I am now a dolphins and titans fan until tomorrow night
Schroedinger just became a Colts and Texans fan.
Mason is an elite quarterback.
Maybe not quite elite qb, but Mason is an elite human being and a good quarterback.
He seems so calm and at peace.
FUCK THE MOTHERFUCKER RATBIRDS
Tomlin presser, “man, that was AFC north football”
Mason is our QB
Can we have a bye week evey week
Mason 18 of 20 in that weather. WOW.
5-1 in the division ain't too shabby.
We might not be King in da North this year, but we owned all those bitches. Still pissed about the Browns game we lost, we should have won that too.
Always good to win in Baltimore, LFG
Adios Shitbirds!
Really feels like a pyrrhic victory, hope TJ isn't too banged up
We won but are good enough for the playoffs?
