    Seems like the Steelers are years away and Arizona is in the uptrend and all they need is a quarterback
    The Steelers finish 8-8 again I could see Ben saying he's had enough with Haley tomlin and the Rooney's and moves on to Arizona

    If Ben were to leave, which I doubt will happen within the next 5 years, then I could see him putting Arizona near or at the top of the list. It's a perfect situation for him

    I really doubt it. His home is in Pittsburgh now. His family (wife and now children) has roots there.

    But if he does leave for some reason, Tomlin and the entire coaching staff should be out the door within 5 seconds after that. We'll be in rebuilding hell, and might as well start with a clean slate.

    Ben has only a few good years left. Sell the farm and bring in some big time free agents to help this team now! If Ben leaves it will be to a contender!

    Well it could happen , but we can't let him just walk.. I have seen some rookie QB'S playing well this year and in years past.....So the positive would be we could fix a lot if we got some draft picks and actually drafted correctly.....

    Might be the fastest road to rebuild this Team..

    Ben leaving would not be the end of the world. He has a lot of off games and misses a lot of receivers. He is as inconsistent as the rest of the team. When was the last great comeback?

    No, it's not going to happen. Period. End of story. Under ANY circumstances.


    Stop posting such nonsense.

    Agreed. We're not a contender and we're not going to be next year, so why not trade an aging QB to try to drastically speed up the rebuild process? It's not the 90's anymore, we're not going to go 20 years without a QB. If we really faulter this year and end up with a very high draft pick, we should take a QB and trade Ben, not because he sucks, but because we aren't going to win anytime soon and he's getting up there in age.

    We sold the farm to keep our team together a few years back.

    If Ben goes somewhere else he's gonna make close to $25mil/yr. he can fly wife and kids back to West Pa every week to see grandma if they want. Ben may stay or Ben may go, but yinzer wife's desire to stay close to home won't be the determining factor. Direction of the team, say in the offense, his perception of how he's valued by the team, whether he makes more than jay Cutler will be bigger factors in his decision to stay or not.

    I don't agree with it, but Ben is going to get paid that here.

    Ben is going to hold the Steelers hostage
    with all the new TV money coming in, cap being raised, his agent is saying SHOW ME THE MONEY,
    I really think Ben is well over 100 million again.
    The Bidwell's are about the cheapest owners in the business sorry Mike Brown the honor still goes to you, although I do appreciate what you did for the kid's dad with cancer.

    The Steelers arent going to pay him in peanuts. Family and desire to remain at home play a bigger role then you think for athletes at Bens stage of his career.
