The rapist Ben Roethlisberger has finally retired and the Pittsburgh Steelers appear to have made zero plans for his departure leading to one of the weirdest quarterback rooms in the NFL.
Mason Rudolph will be entering the season as the favorite to lead the offense. Last time Rudolph started a game, the Steelers lost. He threw 58 passes and racked up a grand total of 277 yards with 1 touchdown and 1 interception. Again, in 58 passes.
Rudolph is also most famous for getting sacked through the Earth’s crust before Myles Garrett ripped his helmet off of his skull and swung his own helmet that was just protecting his head at his then exposed head—oh, and he might’ve probably called Garrett a racial slur.
His backup is Dwayne Haskins who went 3-10 as a starter for the Washington Football Team. A Washington Football Team that immediately made the playoffs the second Haskins stopped wearing their uniform. He has more career interceptions than touchdowns.
Here he is letting it rip on 3rd and long:

Yes, he was awkwardly falling on his own shoelaces and sent the ball flying at the waterboys BUT he didn’t actually fall so you witnessed a small victory.
But the Pittsburgh Steelers went out and added a true star to join this legendary quarterback battle.
Mitch Trubisky is signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers, per source.

Amazing.
If you Google Mitch Trubisky’s name it will autofill to ‘can’t throw left’. Yes, a quarterback who drafted no. 2 overall ahead of Deshaun Watson and Patrick Mahomes is quite literally incapable of throwing a football to his left. An entire side of the field is obsolete when Trubisky drops back to pass.
Trubisky is a lot like Kirk Cousins in that he looks sort of like a great QB sometimes but when the game actually matters and you need your guy to make a play, both quarterbacks melt under pressure. Except the massive difference between Trubisky and Cousins is Kirk puts up monster stats and Mitch should be thankful he’s allowed to still put NFL quarterback on his taxes.
Two former first-round picks and a guy who looks like he forced his way onto the team because his dad and the GM were in the same fraternity 25 years ago and the GM owes his dad for that one night in Montauk.
If you’ve grown tired of the Pittsburgh Steelers being shoved into every NFL discussion on ESPN, this is about to be a phenomenal football season for you as the only highlights you’ll see from this team will be hilarious Nathan Peterman style interceptions.
Also, fuck Ben Roethlisberger.
