Ben to critics...

This is your proof? You spouted off all that stuff like Ben said it himself and you post some writers opinion ? Even he didn't say Ben said any of that. Give me a break. Next time you post something don't try and pass off your opinion as facts.

 

His wife is a western PA girl too so that works in the Steelers favor. If momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy!

 

I might be wrong, but I just don't think Ben will be out to "break the bank". Keep in mind that Ike, Troy, and Heath will all either be taking paycuts (likely in 50%+ range) to stay or else may be gone.

Stranger things have happened, but Ben would look mighty greedy if he demanded big money after those other guys are forced to take cuts. So I think he will ask for "Brady-Like money".

 

hell,
the man has been counting his monies from cashing in on all the ***SUCKS*** threads

 

Yeah and now you owe him! LOL.

 

Pay the man!!!

 

hey 58 welcome back. I too have been wondering where ya been. are you sharing a ward with snack? he's been kinda MIA this season too. maybe it's all the law suits coming up with the suck threads? dewey cheatem and howe will be busy. LOL

 

I think they should pay him what the other top QBs are averaging, 20 million a year, his body of work over the last 10 years is better than any of the other active QBs, none of them has led their team to 3 superbowls excluding Brady: Ben gives us the best chance to get to another SB over the next 5 years, the salary cap can be adjusted to fit his contract, who can replace him, a drafted rookie cant , there is no free agency QB on the market with his pedigree, so give Ben his 5 year 100 million deal and move on, he gave them a discount on his last 8 year contract, so pay him and get this thing out of the way....

 

I knew that would come up, but I thought out how much he brings to this team, and the disruption that replacing him would cause this team, I have concluded resigning him is the best option, like politicians i'm evolving......

 

If all you want to do is play juvenile games with me, don't waste your time, I can still call him selfish if that makes you feel better sonny ....

 

let's play doctor
take a chillpill

 

why do anything? 2016 we could franchise him if we wanted. still gives him a big payday.

 

Flip Flopper! Lol.

 

I was thinking, man, if he takes offense to that he should see some of the stuff BF has said to me, lol.

 

you deserve that!!!!

( stepping back out of the room)

 

No argument here, lol.

 

LMAO!!!
I love this board... more laughs here, than a comedy central roast!
I was tryin to find the posts about "you`ll tell your kids about watchin Ben play"... But I only found the first one...
Not the rply, where it was said tha "It`s like watchin Bradshaw play"...
Soooo True!!!! Same kinda gunslinging, gambling taking, strong armed qb`s who extend plays, and win games by taking chances, kinda qb`s!!!
Not really the point the original poster was making, but it`s true, nonetheless...
We hate `em one minute, and love `em the next, when they are pullin our ass outta the fire, and winning superbowls, but then we criticize them to death, when they make mistakes from time to time...
Yeah, Ben and Bradshaw are VERY similar... Tough competitors, that damn near never come out of a game, and do whatever it takes to win games.
But give you heart attacks, with the chances they take, to get the job done...
Gotta love `em both! And the success they have brought our franchise!
No wonder Steeler fans seem to contradict themselves with every other statement they make...
Hell yes! He`s the greatest!!! Hell No! He shouldn`t take so many chances/ hold onto the ball so long!!!
It`s what we do...And We`ve picked up 6 Lombardi`s along the way!
HERE WE GO STEELERS!!! HERE WE GO!!!
