Mason Rudolph was supposed to prove he could excel if Aaron Rodgers went down. Instead, he finished the preseason with interceptions in back-to-back outings. In the eyes of Ramon Foster and Charlie Batch, this may have opened the door for Skylar Thompson to replace Rudolph as the primary backup.

And that’s just the truth. This is a black and white league when it comes down to how you are evaluated.
