The Steelers really need NFL experience quarterback. If the Steelers would have a experience quarterback last season, the Steelers would have been in the playoffs.

I think they need to sign Colin because right now we don't have a quarterback

To the people saying Kap was everage at best, come on. He took a team to the super bowl and played lights out during that postseason. The the team was basically gutted when harbaugh left and his stats of course declined. I’m sure he can be as dynamic as ever if he lands on a team with talent at other positions.

It's important to be even handed and balanced when discussing the Kap situation so we need to add the context of the league and the owners. The NFL has made a proactive effort to tie their brand to the military. This has been the case ever since they began having military present on field before games. We see this intensified during the playoffs when they'll show servicemen and women who are deployed watching the same games we are. Right or wrong there is a large portion of the NFL fan base that associates the kneeling that Kap was doing as disrespectful towards the military, despite him saying otherwise. As an NFL owner if you're not listening to a large portion of the fan base it's going to bite you in the butt. The situation gets more muddy when you consider his skill level. At the time this was going down, Kap was playing more like Bryan Hoyer and less like Patrick mahomes which made the decision easier for owners not to even bother going down that road.
It'll be interesting to see if the Steelers make an attempt to sign him. I don't know many who see Rudolph as anything more than a backup and if Kap can resemble his Superbowl days it would make a lot of sense from a performance standpoint. Ownership will have to see if it makes sense from a money and fan base standpoint.

If he brings valuable skills to the team they definitely should sign him. He was let go for the wrong reasons.Somehow taking the knee was converted to a disrespectful act. While taking the knee before a king or queen is a sign of ultimate respect. Taking a knee in church is considered as showing respect to your god, but somehow taking a knee for the American Flag to to highlight the disproportionate numbers of black Americans being killed by our police is twisted into a disrespectful act. It's not logical, there are other motivations for singling Colin out and not of them good. Let's get back to sports people.

Lifelong Steelers fan, here. Am I the only person who remembers that Kap was a mediocre QB at best? Never-mind the possibility of re-igniting an entire host of social and cultural issues that have no business in the game. The only polarization belonging on the football field, is that which separates fans and teams. That’s it. Let’s leave everything else out of the stadium. Are we incapable in 2019 America, of doing that?
That said, I am absolutely fatigued by the Mason Rudolph haters. This kid is thrust into a broken down offense—one which the Steelers haven’t seen in decades—he’s less than 10 career starts in and everybody wants to write him off? The booing from the crowd is unreal. Steelers Nation and much of America need to let up on this kid and give him a fair chance at this. The Killer B era offense is gone forever. We’re thankful for Big Ben’s legacy, but he’s done. Mason Rudolph is a good kid with a hell of a lot of heart and that’s also something that has been nonexistent from a leadership perspective for a very long time. It isn’t his fault that he’s doesn’t have a Bell or an AB out there. And it isn’t his fault that the playmakers that we do have—have essentially been injured and out.
No one knows if Mason Rudolph is the franchise QB of the future but give the kid a decent shot before you boo him out of Pittsburgh. The lack of any kind of patience, especially given what he has had to work with is absurd to me.
Let’s get a grip, shall we?
