Mean Joe wants Ben to come back

God ...How great would Mel Blount be. Would be great 2 have Him on our team now.
How about Greene, Ham, Swann, Lambert, Shell, Franco, Stallworth, or Webster.....Oh wait ....Bradshaw had all them. Plus about 4,or 5 other greats.
Hmmm.
Ben Had ....The Bus for 2 years. Won a SB.
Faneca 4 years...Won 2 SBs.
Troy P. ...went 2 three SB.
That's it.
Maybe ....Just Maybe if He had all those HOFs on a team that got 2 keep them all together before free agency things might be different.
See I hate this. Cutting down one great Steeler 2 prop another. Pointless.

 

I don’t disagree that Bradshaw had multiple HOFers surrounding him. But you know what, that doesn’t change the fact that he was money when he had to be and Ben missed some opportunities in the Super Bowl that I’m sure he’d like to have back. And you’re right, it is pointless to compare the two eras. There were multiple players on the 70s Dynasty whose skill sets and athletic ability would have translated into today’s game. Especially if they were given the training and nutritional advantages of today’s athletes.

 

I agree You left out the 70 had the Greatest Coach We've ever Had, but that's cool. I hate comparing. I Have great memories of both.

 

No doubt! I was watching a video about Chuck Noll earlier and he was the chef that brought all of the ingredients together and cooked a great meal (to steal a Bill Parcells analogy). Bradshaw may not have realized it at the time, but Noll was EXACTLY the kind of coach he needed to get the most out of him. I wonder how Noll would have handled Ben?

 

Ben would have probably Disliked Him Like Bradshaw did, but it would have made Him better , like it did Bradshaw.
Hell We seen it with Haley. Ben couldn't stand Him, but it made Him better.
