    In 2020 according to him. He also said that he bleeds black and gold and that an extensioncould be done before the season but he knows the teams has a lot of other nneeds right now.

    God I hope he's not still our qb in 2019 and 2020. he'll need assistance to get on and off the field by then. oatmeal dripping off his chin after being fed his lunch by his nurse before the early games and sleeping by the 8:30 starts.:smiley1::cool:

    I do, if he's playing at a high level, who cares. Elway won a SB at the same age, he took quite a beating in his career too. If Ben continues to embrace getting the ball out quicker, his beatings will go down a lot. Don't know about anyone else but I'm not looking forward to the transition phase into the next QB for this team. I'll be excited about finding that next franchise guy, but I believe it will be painful until we do.

    Seeing as how the rest of the team seems to already be doing this, I say let him...

    not near the injuries ben has sustained. they are going to add up by age 39-40. ben doesn't get tackled nearly as gracefully as elwood did. ben seems to fall like a ton o' bricks and that's usually when he gets hurt.

    it may be painful and it may not BF. indy did ok. patriots did ok. several teams have. we also have a more offensive minded coach now instead of bill. he hated qb's I think. must have been the LB mentality. LOL they are all a gamble and it depends what you put around them.:cool:

    We'll find out, both on Bens longevity and how painful the journey is to replace him.

    Only down side is I have to wait 6 years to say I told you so :lolol:
