Ben being treated unfairly by media

I don't think Ben gives two shakes about the planet.

 

Oh boo hoo

 

I hope Rudolph turns out to be a drama queen as well. Bradshaw - drama queen - 4 Super Bowl titles. Roethlisberger - drama queen - 2 Super Bowl titles.

 

The classic "boo hoo" response is so simple and does nothing to refute the main assertions.

 

He said nothing bad at all.

 

Are you his agent?

 

Apparently I'm in the minority in this but I had no problem with what Ben said.
Him wanting the organization to draft someone that can help now is not something out of left field that nobody contemplated. He also said it's not his job to do the drafting because he knows that Colbert/Tomlin are going to do what's best for the franchise.
The fact that Ben has been a good teammate through his career leads me to believe he will continue doing so. That anyone is thinking that has changed because of one comment is insane.

 

The best thing to come of this is that Ben may play another 5 years. Great for us bad for the opposition.
As long as we have Roethlisberger we've a shot. That's it(.)

 

As long as Roethlisberger is playing at a high level, then it's good for the Steelers. I'm afraid he's gonna hit "father time" a lot quicker than Brady, Rivers, Brees, etc. Hope I'm wrong. We'll see. Looks like Eli Manning has already hit that wall... but then again, Giants could have a great year with their new RB taking some pressure off.

 

We will be lucky to get three years out of him. His lack of mobility is glaring already, it isn't going to get better unless he starts doing something different.

 

Like the treadmill

 

No, I'm just a fan who can think objectively. The crap the media keeps repeating, ad nauseum, is not logical or true. They bringing up his mention of retiring back when Ben was trying to force Haley out. Now since he is gone, he never said a word about retiring. I would have done the same thing. Ever notice Ben's body language when forced to throw all those bubble screens and trick plays? He knew they weren't going to work and hated being handcuffed by them.

 

I don't know what games you are watching; he still can move around enough to buy time. Like Brady and Manning, you only need to move a few steps either way - you don't need to be Russell Wilson to buy a few seconds and Ben was still doing it last season.

 

I am in the Ben can say whatever he wants club, he has earned it. Obvious Haley was the issue for all the retirement talk.

Would have been nice to see Steelers make a splash move up in the first round to show they really mean business.

Only way Rudolph sees the field is if BB goes down for the year. I'm sure this talk is all blown out of proportion anyways.

469, 5 TD, 1 Int vs. Jags in playoffs, he still has it. Hope he can play for another 3 years at least. Some of those plays were magic.

Go Steelers!!!

 

There is nothing else to talk about this time of year.

 

I watch every game, he is a statue. His lack of mobility is the reason he hangs onto the ball so long and either (1) takes an ill-timed sack or (2) forces a throw that should instead be launched into the stands. He is moving around the pocket far less than he ever has and rarely scrambles.

 

Part of that is better blocking. He had seasons where he had to scramble or get killed.
