This is just a silly take.
This is his 4th season. We've seen plenty. His velocity is EASILY 10%, probably more like 15%, lower than the average starting NFL QB. I'd bet money on that.

I stand by the Chad Pennington comparison. In fact, I'd put Rudolph somewhere between Pennington and last-year Peyton Manning.

Special teams?

Great punt then a blocked FG?

Fuck does this mean Danny Smiff is gonna get some credit?

but those balls get there in plenty of time and are very catchable.
Disagree. He doesn't have the arm for even the intermediate out against tight coverage. He's a less accurate Chad Pennington.
I sure wish he woulda played the Wildcard game

Man how has this guy Gilbert not gotten a shot as a starter? Does he only look like a stud against us?
My thoughts last year during that game. Dak isn't going to stay healthy and MM likes him as a #2. I think he will be in Dallas for awhile.

Loudermilk just got 6 snaps and was erased on 4 and stymied on the other 2.

Why the fuck is Highsmith still out there?

Brooks has made a few plays.

Yeah I was ready to trade a draft pick for him last year.
Howard Griffith had to resort to chop-blocking him during the 1997 AFC Championship Game. An incredulous Kirkland asked Griffith, “Why do you have to use cheap tactics like chop-blocking?” Griffith replied “Why do you have to be a 300-pound linebacker?”

I can’t handle injuries to key players

Could be anything. First thing I thought was wind knocked out.

Yeah, it would suck balls.
