Rudolph has by no means appeared like a starting-caliber participant, however he’s greater than accustomed to the Steelers’ methods and what Mike Tomlin likes to do in offense.
The pinnacle coach clearly likes what he brings to the desk and trusts him in large moments.
Rudolph has been compelled to take the sector as a fill-in starter a number of occasions, and with an growing old Aaron Rodgers there, he could be a strong insurance coverage coverage within the case he’s compelled to overlook time with an harm.
The Steelers managed to get Rodgers underneath contract after months of hypothesis and forwards and backwards.
They backed themselves right into a nook in negotiations with him, and failing to get him would’ve just about compelled their hand to roll with the ever-struggling Rudolph as an alternative.
Even so, Rodgers isn’t going to be a long-term answer on the place, and he’s even admitted that this may probably be his last season within the league.
As such, the Steelers must get proper again to the drafting board and discover a quarterback for the longer term.
As many alternatives as they’ve given him, it’s turn out to be painfully evident that Rudolph isn’t the best man for the job, however he’ll most definitely keep as a backup for so long as he can.
