It’s been a rough couple of weeks for Mason Rudolph, there’s certainly no way around that. He struggled on the field. He lost his composure when he felt he was being wronged, and it ended up with him being struck in the head with his own helmet. He was then accused of racism, continued to struggle, and learned earlier this week he was being demoted.
It’s not that easy to conjure up a worse stretch for an NFL quarterback in a realistic scenario, and even this is bordering on believability. You don’t get too much people hit in the head with their own helmet, let alone having had that followed up with an accusation of using a racial slur.
