Rudolph won't show you anything you don't already know about him. Howard has a chance to either rise to the occasion or wilt under the pressure. Likewise, I see getting Allar more reps as a better benefit to the team than giving those reps to Rudolph at this stage in his career.

Rudolph benched in QB2 battle; source doubts his future starter potential.

Mason Rudolph is competing with Will Howard for the backup quarterback role behind Aaron Rodgers. The source argues that Rudolph, after seven years in the league including a stint elsewhere, is unlikely to be a future starter and won't show the Steelers anything they don't already know. Rudolph's inactive status for the Jets game is interpreted as the Steelers favoring Howard's development, and the source suggests Rudolph has little to gain from additional preseason reps at this stage of his career.
