2. Yes, Skylar goes against 2s and 3s but he is also throwing to 2s and 3s

3. Cory trice is the most injury prone piece of garbage I have ever seen.

4. Steelers are not smart for this this guy was the 2nd best quarterback on the roster.

5. I feel like the people who complain about “why was he still out there?!” In the preseason, are also the people who were complaining about the missed tackles and fumbling in the last game. I feel like mostly everybody needs preseason reps to knock the rust off, and injuries can happen. On a separate not, Cory Trice is becoming a worry, sometimes guys are “injury-prone” for one reason or another, it’s just reality.

6. Rudolph is literally a Reindeer in headlights during a game. I don’t understand the allegiance folks have with him. He’s a 3rd string backup…

7. O i wanna hear this one

8. Keep Skylar , drop Mason Rudolph

9. After seeing how quick, decisive and accurate Skylar was, it would be foolish not to keep him on the team. He's only played in 10 regular season games (career). He could certainly be figuring things out now.

10. Mason has NEVER progressed, he is like the steelers "MEDIOCRE" at best. I like Mason & he is a steeler at heart, but I really liked howards play. They were both fighting for QB2 "this year", not in the past, and THIS YEAR Skylar just looks & played better….

    Of course preseason means nothing, we know that, but Skylar has improved, Mason had not !!!!!

11. Great show buddy, Happy Monday, is there any chance Thompson could go to the practice squad or will he get poached by another team. Oh, and do you know if he is related to Weegie?

12. He's so much better than Rudolph.

13. i know im gnna get shit for this but, i would make thompson my qb 2. way more mobile than mason and looked more comfortable in thebpocket than mason

14. Always drama around the Steelers for years now. Miss the quiet steady years.

15. Thompson’s pocket presence, athleticism, and decision-making appear to be clearly ahead of Mason’s from what we've seen thus far. If his in-game performance mirrors his in-practice-performance, he should be the unquestioned number two. The real question is whether we're witnessing a quarterback on the rise, knowing that Mason’s game has largely plateaued.

16. I would absolutely redshirt Howard by putting him on full year IR. He won't get to practice, but he can observe and learn. I expect a Mark Robinson or Beanie Bishop to get cut only to make the Howard to IR move, then resign the cut guy after. ❤️🔥🍻

17. Thank you DK. First it was Mason Rudolph, then it was Will Howard and now it's Skyler Thompson. I only know what I've seen and keep in mind the starters have not played much or not at all. For me this is up to Mike Tomlin and coaches. Great show DK

18. I will be honest. Watching Skylar's arm versus Will Howard's, Skylar has a stronger arm. I love Will Howard's size and enthusiasm though.

19. They could put Howard on IR for the whole season, and technically red shirt him and keep Thompson on as a third quarterback.

20. DK …. 😂……

21. I will never believe anything I see in the preseason ever again after the Kenny Pickett All Pro preseason performance. The preseason is not real, people get caught up in what they see in the preseason and wonder why they don't see the same results in the regular season.

22. Very simple to me..old vs. young..if young guy is close keep young guy!!Kid just looks more comfortable and in control than Rudoph!!IMO

23. 1:19 And they were mostly impressive throws that were on the money most of the time.

24. The newish LGKG music is pretty sad/distracting. I personally prefer the OG version. 🤷‍♂️

25. Cut Rudolph he's always sucked

26. It's crazy. Im starting to think there's lead poisoning in Pittsburgh, the amount of people who think Rudolph is a good quarterback is crazy he wasn't even good enough to start in Tennessee

27. DK Are you really gonna fall for the Banana in the tail pipe in Skyler Thompson, First You were SOLD in Mason being Our QB1 when Rodgers was dragging his feet and I am STILL on Board with him being that cause I believe at some point Rodgers will Break down but now we're talking Thompson being the QB2 cause he looked good against 2s and 3s 🤔 Why did we go and get Rudolph if we are ONLY gonna POSSIBLY TRADE HIM or have him hold a Clip board. Rudolph Deserves BETTER even after the Whole Pickett and Tribusky experiment!!!! Just remember this DK if he couldn't stick with Dolphins whom haven't had a QB since Pittsburgh home grown one Dan Marino and that's a HUGE ASK then he is what Miami saw AVERAGE!!!! Skyler Thompson QB2 😂😂😂😂😂

28. Not going to lie, it was fun watching Skylar play in the preseason tho.

29. Bye bye Rudolph for the 1000th time 😂🤣

30. I learned from Kenny Pickett to not put too much stock in anything from the preseason. Keep Mason. Cut Skylar.

31. Just want to note that his only interception this preseason was a ball that hit his receiver in the hands/chest and popped up into the air. It probably should have been a completion

32. Unapologetically agree, Thompson is more deserving than Rudolph…

33. No one finds it strange that Howard was "injured" ? Western P.A is portland.

34. I think the best course of action should b to put will on IR let him sit the yr n keep SKYLAR #3

35. Skyler will look less like an indulgence when Rodgers goes out in week five/six with injuries that'll keep him sidelined for a while and it's Rudolph checking down (again) cause his confidence is shot and Mylie Garrett is coming over the top at him (again) – insurance isn't a bad idea.
