Go Blue. It's nice to have another Wolverine NFL QB out there.

Way to go, Jake.
November 23rd, 2016 at 2:29 PM ^
Birkett said that the Bears tried to scoop him up with Cutler possibly done for the year.
November 23rd, 2016 at 2:52 PM ^
Why the Browns did not make a move to sign him is beyond me. We have the island of misfit toys under center and he seemed like a natural fit here.
Oh well. I guess analytics didnt support a talented, young, accurate QB with pocket presence and natural leadership qualities. But it did support Cody Kessler.

the NFC east went after him, do the Lions sign him?
Sorry if thats a dumb question, just trying to gauge JR's value to the Lions front office

Oh hey look, it's mGrowOld talking about Cleveland sports. Never seen that on here.

Why do you wish ill on a QB's NFL career? /s
Seriously though, Browns have destroyed so many QB careers that no one in their right mind should go there.
November 23rd, 2016 at 5:11 PM ^
I would rather Rudock have more than a one year career than play for the industrial QB trash compactor that is the Cleveland Browns. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if some spiteful wizard put a curse on the position to teach us muggles a lesson.

His Tom Brady moment when Stafford goes down with an injury and Rudock rockets the Lions to their first Super Bowl ever. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go make fun of myself for that thought.
November 23rd, 2016 at 3:07 PM ^
I'll come with.
November 23rd, 2016 at 3:21 PM ^
The only reason that's laughable is that it involves the Lions.
November 23rd, 2016 at 3:26 PM ^
Pretty sure that, if something like that ever happened, I would be quite unsure what to feel or what to do with any feelings that I had in that moment. It would be the most anti-Lions Lions success story in quite some time, perhaps in the history of the franchise.
I will join you in the corner so I can chastise myself for entertaining this particular train of thinking now.

Imagine him with a couple Harbaugh years......

November 23rd, 2016 at 2:37 PM ^
Who knew a quarterback's salvation would be in getting called up by the Lions? The Bears... Woof.
November 23rd, 2016 at 3:12 PM ^
Hey who wouldn't want to play behind pro bowl offensive linemen like Kyle Long and Josh Sitton and throw to a good receiver like Alshon Jeffrey? Surely nothing would happen to knock all three of those guys out of the lineup.

According to my calculations*, he will make $168,750 if he stays on the active roster the rest of the season. Not bad for warming up and holding a clipboard. For the sake of the Lions, I hope Stafford keeps playing like a star and Rudock doesn't need to see the field.
*Showing my work: 2016 rookie salary is $450,000. There are 6 games remaining of the 16 total. $450k/16*6 = $168,750.

They might base that salary on the total number of games, including preseason, so it might be 6/20, or something. Either way, it's a nice payday and hopefully he never returns to a practice squad.

Yeah, but only statistically and on the field. /s
