    While yes, I know he is retired and I'm sure he may be keeping his distance. I'm curious if Ben has come out and said anything about the pick?

    If Big Ben does have any opinions about Pickett... likely will not hear them for a while yet. For that matter, unless Pickett lights it up under center, do not expect too many HOF Steelers to say much. Too early for anyone to say anything about Kenny thus far.



    For reference, during the 2019 Season? Minkah caught the attention of Troy Polamalu with his performance. Have to be truly someone special for a caliber of person like Troy to comment on. I would imagine that Big Ben will wait to see if he sees anything in Pickett that piques his interest.

    at the end of the day, not a damn thing, but it would be interesting to get his honest opinion, don’t you think?

    Not at all. His opinion on Pickett really doesn’t mean a thing to me.

    Always wondered who a retired Pro player roots for once they retire? Do they root for the team they grew up loving? Do they root for the team they played for? (of course some players play for many teams)

    I remember they asked Marino that question when he retired. He said something to the effect that black and gold runs through him but teal will mix in.

    According to our resident young analyst Ben's opinion as an actual NFL player would carry more importance than those of us who just think we know.

    Are you saying that you don't base all your opinions on the thoughts and ideas of a former player that you have zero contact with? Well that's just a foolish thing to say how are we ever to form an opinion without that.

    I am saying exactly that. Now if he and I were sitting around having a drink and he offered his thoughts on a player I would listen. I would actually value his input and more than likely hold it in higher regard than any other opinion. However, an opinion he gave to a member of the media? Not a snowball’s chance in hell. That isn’t me expressing distrust in the media. I just don’t think as a professional/former professional he’s going to say anything remotely disparaging about a new or current player.

    I'm sure Roethlisberger and Pickett know each other. If Pickett plays well...and I'm sure Ben and Terry will be the first to give props.
