Mason Rudolph

[Goddard]

Desperate times... actually starting Mason Rudolph this week due to injuries, byes and matchups.

Anyone feel like they've seen enough so far for Rudolph to be eventually be a good QB?

And does Ben get his starting job back next year? I'd think Rudolph would have to be truly awesome for any chance of that happening, right? Ben's a HOF QB after all, and already said he's definitely coming back.

If you have to start him, this would be a good week to do so against the Dolphins. As far as taking the job from Ben, I don't think we've seen enough yet. If he plays well and carries the team into the playoffs after the poor start the team had, then I can see him keeping the job. For now, I'd expect Ben being the starter if he doesn't decide to retire and is fully healthy next year. Rudolph would still be worth keeping in that situation as I'm not sure how many more seasons Ben would play even if he came back next year.

Two things. First I don't know if even Ben could take this team to the playoffs. They are in quite a hole. Secondly, Ben is pretty much going to have to be forced out of the league I don't think he ever retires willingly. I watched Mason his entire career since Ok State is my fav college school, and I never thought he was a top NFL QB. I saw him as an able backup, but too often he struggled with consistency and tight windows. Idk how many times I saw him miss Washington by a touch or Wallace on a deep post. It was frustrating because his body is prototypical, except for his hands.

I have to start Rudolph as well this week, but don't mind it. In a 16 team league, and traded Cooks, Josh Allen and a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd for Juju hours before Mahomes got hurt. Least the Dolphins are trash!

Starting him in 2 leagues, one of which I'm intentionally terrible anyway, the other I'm starting him over Baker, both are SF leagues.

Hoping to deal him straight up for Lev Bell in a win-now SF league where I need major RB help . . . but no reply from Bell owner yet.

I might straight up ignore that trade too.

Yikes. Glad he was an emergency start only due to injuries/byes/matchups.

It's early but... can't wait to throw Rudolph right back in the pool!

Did you mean Snell? That might be a better offer

Excellent, my reverse jinx plan WORKED! End of half TD! haha

If Ben cant thruw, or if Mason does mvp like things then there may be a qb change. Short of that I don't see it
