Dave Mason of BetOnline asked his followers immediatley following the Steelers bad loss to Kansas City Sunday night: "Fill in the blank Part 2: The starting QB for the Steelers WK 1 next season will be _________." BetOnline will also be taking bets on the Steelers next starting quarterback.
The consensus appeared to be a split between Kenny Pickett and Deshaun Watson.
Pickett comes in at +1500 odds and is viewed as more of a long shot here. Pickett is probably the player the Steelers want as he would be coming from the University of Pittsburgh. The problem here is he'll likely be selected prior to the Steelers having a shot at him.
Mason Rudolph is the favorite at most books paying $150 on a $100 bet. He's the current backup.
Then there's Aaron Rodgers. He's hinted at leaving the Packers and Rodgers probably has a few more good playing years left. Rodgers would pay out $300 for every $100 bet should this materialize.
