However, it is never a bad thing to have strong preseason performances. There are many quarterbacks who look solid in the preseason, only to be unable to put it all together in the regular season. In the third game of the 2017 preseason, against the defending Super Bowl champion Patriots, he completed 10/13 passes for 113 yards and a touchdown, bringing the Lions back from a 24-14 deficit to take a 28-24 lead in the fourth quarter.Īll in all, Rudock has shown an ability to command the Lions offense in his admittedly limited opportunities. Last year, his stat lines against the Colts was 13/21 for 141 yards and 2 touchdowns. In 2016, he went 14/23 for 171 yards and 3 touchdowns against the Bills. While Rudock has only made one regular appearance thus far (and it went terribly, he went 3/5 passing for 24 yards with an interception), he has made the most of his playing time in the preseason. That comes out to a fantastic 96 quarterback rating. In eight preseason games, Jake Rudock has completed 67 of 107 passing attempts (62.6%) for 713 yards with 7 touchdown passes and just 2 interceptions. Why Rudock Should Keep His Backup QB Position.
