Peter King: ‘It’s Hard To Convince Me’ Mason Rudolph Is A Long-Term Answer Given Small Sample Size

Mason Rudolph has earned the starting quarterback job in Pittsburgh after back-to-back wins in which the offense scored at least 30 points. They had failed to reach the 30-point mark all season long, so head coach Mike Tomlin made the uncomfortable decision to bench former first-round pick Kenny Pickett.

NBC Sports’ Peter King, a longtime NFL insider, joined The Cook & Joe Show on 93.7 The Fan on Tuesday morning and was asked about what the future holds for Rudolph and the potential market there could be for him in free agency.

“A month ago or so, I might have said Josh Dobbs has made himself a lot of money and I think he’s got a decent chance to be a starter for somebody next year,” King said.
