If you want to know how bad the Steelers quarterback situation is, just look how low the team's starter Mason Rudolph ranks among NFL backups

Sports Illustrated painted a harsh reality regarding the Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback situation, ranking them 26th in the league in terms of backup quarterbacks. But the real concern? The quarterback they ranked that low is currently slated as the team’s QB1.

The Steelers drafted Mason Rudolph in the 3rd round in 2018, hoping he takes over when Ben Roethlisberger retires but that didn't happen

Steelers legend Ben Roethlisberger recently cleared the air regarding his previous criticism about Mason Rudolph joining Pittsburgh's offense in 2018.

Donald Trump held a rally at West Mifflin, a borough 11 miles south of Pittsburgh, last Friday. Joining him on stage were Mason Rudolph, special teams captain Miles Killebrew and former fan favorite and running back Rocky Bleier. The latter presented Trump with a Steelers jersey with the No. 47, as Trump is the nation’s 47th president.

Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette says if the Pittsburgh Steelers lose out on Aaron Rodgers, their backup plan will be to sign a veteran quarterback to either compete with Mason Rudolph or be his backup.
