Big Ben frustrated with the direction of the Steelers

I'd like to have your avatar as our LT.

 

So misleading. Seneca Wallace was running for his life the whole game? he got hurt on the opening drive after going 5-5 and wasn't sacked. The third string QB came in and just about threw for 300 yds and was sacked only once. But youre right GB has a terrible line. IF you are referring to the game against the bears Rogers was sacked 3 times on the opening series and Wallace only twice in triple minutes played. Lacy Rushed for 150 yards with Wallace in at qb go figure your logic.

Also, you really don't believe that the current Steeler OL are loaded with pro bowlers if Brady were our qb. that's the stupidest comment I have ever read, I hope its was sarcasm and I just missed something

 

You did miss something. I was talking about the game last week when Rodgers got hurt

 

yeah you said Lacy struggled. 150 yds on 20 carries is struggling AND Wallace only got sacked twice. That`s a sign of a good line to me.

 

I said Lacy struggled this week against a weak defence and Wallace was running for his life last week. I don't care about sacks, I watched that game, the guy had absolutely no time to do anything.

 

I thought Lacy only had 73 yards on 24 carries?

 

Lacy Has rushed for basically 220 plus yards since the Rogers injury and the OL has given up 3 sacks and thrown for 400 plus yards in two games but you still think the line has played crap since the injury to Rogers.

 

Im talking about the game Rogers got hurt on the first series against the Bears

 

Yep. I stand corrected. Gradkowski was claimed off waivers by the St. Louis Rams in June 2008 but he was waived before the season.

 

I agree 100%. Brees is tougher than Peyton but neither of them would be able to stand the beating they would get behind this line.

 

Yeah I can say you didn't miss an opportunity to get me this one time DID you......???? I WILL get you back. LOL!

 

And neither one of them has as many rings as Ben.

 

I agree with that as well. Someone will probably disagree though. LOL.

 

Yeah I think some people exist in a parallel dimension where athletes that they don't like DON'T get rings and only the guys they DO like are actual champions. It is a dimension where there is no such thing as a TEAM. In their dimension the 08 Super Bowl Defense DIDN'T bust a coverage that allowed Larry Fitzgerald to score from about 60 yards out to put his team ahead at the end. In THEIR dimension the defense intercepted every one of Kurt Warner's passes and took it to the house and Ben then turned around and threw a pick that allowed the Cards to stay in it. Then at the end Ben didn't throw the game WINNING td pass. The defense then took the field and Troy became the qb and he hit Ike in the corner of the end zone for the win. Ben had NOTHING to do with it at all.

 

Did the D make that clutch tackle at the very last moment?
Trophy case +1.
Did the D make that clutch throw to Holmes in the final seconds?
Trophy case +2

You don't toss a future HOF, Super Bowl winning franchise QB away for a chance.
You do, however, take every chance and toss everything away to get one.

Hello_

 

i'll play. draft one because this is one of the most highly ranked group coming out in a while.

keep landry and the draft pick and build a team. we need a team around any qb, be it ben or anyone else.

when ben does finally go and he will, we have two guys that have learned the system and can step in and play. we don't know how they will preform, nor do we know how ben will preform in the future, but we have a plan in place.

since ben doesn't usually make a complete season we will have some vision of what may be to come. we still need backups, if ben is here or not. we will still rebuild if ben is here or not. we don't want to however see ben go belly up and then have to force a draft pick that could be much later and not a guy we really want.

I believe most of you guys that would keep ben well beyond his usefulness would love to see the next guy fail, just so you can say see I told ya so.

 

Health care plans website guys was trying to peek into a real website and crashed this one.

 

The "trade Ben now" supporters, were any of you Steeler fans during the 80s and 90s? How many of you had the joy of watching Bubby Brister play QB? The only reason we even had teams that could compete was because of a dominating defense and the best oline in the league. I remember thinking Kordell Stewart was going to be the missing piece and Jerome Bettis, man, what a difference the offense was but it still lacked a legitimate passing threat. Kordell could throw but when teams realized he wasn't accurate they stopped blitzing and let him beat them with his arm, by not blitzing they took away his run game and then we were back to the same old offense, a little better but still no QB. Tommy Maddox gave us a good few years, he made Plaxico Buress the receiver he was but all the years in between, all the time wondering if the team could just manage to find a Montana or someone, anyone better than Brister and let us not forget Kent Graham, how many of you were as fortunate as myself to actually watch him play? If you saw him play, and still ask for our current QB to be traded then I say it is time to ask the doc for some serious medication. The point is this team has gone 20 seasons with some horrible QBs and some mediocre QBs and Ben isn't one of those, believe me, there could be a lot worse, some of us old enough to remember vividly the struggles of the 80s know all to well what a team without even a decent QB looks like, even with a dominating defense it wasn't good, imagine with the defense we have now, you're asking for a complete disaster.
