The guy is a Hall of Famer. But it's time for him to hang it up. I'm glad that he's not going to try one year more when it would be even worse.
Ben
Why do you care if he gets paid or not? It's not your money, it won't effect the cap, and it's not as if the Steelers are on financial thin ice.
First, match? This is America, where football means football, not futbol. It's called a game. :) Next, some updates to the recommendations in...
By every measure, meaning multiple organizations crunching numbers by whatever methods they've developed, they all point to Ben being a below NFL...
No one argues that recognizing talent, whether it be coaching or playing, and developing that talent is a very important part of any leadership...
There's no sense having him back in if he's mentally not ready to play. He'd be useless. See exhibit A: #55
Did you go to the site and check out the coaching trees? It wasn't cherrypicking. Look at Lou Saban, Forrest Gregg, Brian Billick, or Chuck...
The problem is the coaching tree is a poor measure of this trait. Go back to this site. http://graphics.wsj.com/nfl-coaches/ The size of the...
That's why the whole coaching tree thing is a complete canard.
If you go on this site you can see connections better. http://graphics.wsj.com/nfl-coaches/ Chuck Noll has very few on his tree: Dungy, Bud...
Arians is a two time CoY, BTW. Regardless, the whole coaching tree thing is overrated, imo. I'm not exactly sure what its supposed to represent....
There's a difference between losing and getting your azz kicked. One can predict (or fear) an upcoming loss, but still be mad in the manner in...
The word "fan" is short for fanatic. That doesn't demand positivity or negativity, merely fanaticism. None of us really require a lecture on how...
Why anyone has to invoke the Rooney Rule to explain why the Steelers don't fire Tomlin is beyond me. The Rooney's behavior here is completely...
Not sure it was really a starting point, but certainly an inflection point. The Shazier injury. Led to a lot of things that overall haven't...
This current slide is not very surprising. Except for the Buffalo game they haven't had a really good win all year. Beat a mediocre Broncos...
I spelled it out, but since you seemed to miss it. The Steeler Way. That's why.
There's plenty of evidence to support this line of thinking: a) Did not Dan Rooney overrule Cowher and make them draft Ben? b) Didn't MT say that...
7 was just awful today. There's no way around that. He's barely a serviceable starting NFL QB. As much as I'd like to bury Ben, I can't. a)...
