Yahoo Sports NFL on Mason Rudolph

Rudolph lacks wow throws and trails Howard in the backup QB competition.

Through two practices, backup quarterbacks Will Howard and Drew Allar have stepped up with big-time throws over the middle and down the field, while Mason Rudolph has not had a 'wow' throw. Rudolph had what would have been a big play down the field to Pat Freiermuth batted down by Asante Samuel Jr. In the backup quarterback battle with Howard, it appears to be 'backup or bust' for Rudolph; Howard was favored more than Rudolph on Day 2 and earned the second two-minute drill reps while Rudolph could only watch.
