The Bears defense is better than their offense , it was also early in the season the Steelers offense wasn't in sync yet. Bryant was still rusty, and they had that whole anthem controversy.

So the offense gets an excuse but not the defense? Yea ,OK.

Well, your first point is not valid at all. Actually living very close to Rock Hill say within 10 miles, I can tell you he and his family are tickled pink that he was drafted by the Steelers. Of course, if Ben continues his 5 year old impersonation, that could change. As I said in another thread, South Carolina and the immediate area around Charlotte is a hot bed of Steeler supporters. They are as popular as the Panthers down here and there has been nothing in the papers to indicate any displeasure.

Secondly, I am sure he would have liked to go to some bum team for a chance to compete and say, get drilled repeatedly. Or, he could be drafted by arguably the best franchise in the NFL and sit behind a HOF QB. Competitor? Sure. If he was not, then no matter how good he is, he ain't gonna make in the NFL playing for anyone.

The fact remains that Ben is the cause of this whole mess in his mind. He is the one who has said repeatedly over the last few years that he wants or is thinking of retiring. So, given his history with injuries and the very fact that he himself has indicated more than once that he is close to retirement, what is the organization supposed to do? Wait until the dam actually breaks or prepare for any breaks now. The organization took a leap when a top flight QB was still available in the 3rd round.

What did it really cost the Steeler's anyway? Not a first or second but a third round pick. A pick that might be the future.

Finally, you do not hear Brady bitching about the Pats poor defense do you? Brady wants more offensive weapons. People that will help him score. Ben should be pleased that he got a great replacement for Bryant who was only one puff from sitting for good.

Ben needs to worry about getting the ball in the end zone, period and stop worrying about the defense or anything else. He should actually be elated that he now has an understudy that he could pass the torch to in the near future.

Personally, we need this. Next time he throws 5 int's and folks start chanting for Ma-son, it might just make him focus a little better. Right now he has a job that no matter how poorly he plays, he will never get benched because there is no talent at QB 2 and 3. So, he has it made. He is living fat, dumb and happy.

Instead of being a leader and the teammate to look up to, he is acting like a 5 year old.

#1 I don't think there are any college QB's in the first 3 rounds that would be happy to be drafted by the steelers with Ben being very clear he wants to play another 3-5 years. What athlete at that level wants to be a back up?

#2 See #1 . He told the team of his plans. I actually don't care that much we drafted a QB but I think Ben's right. We could have used the help now. 3rd round picks are often good players. 3rd round QB's not so much. We do need a good back up now...not 3 years from now. this is our window to win a SB.

#3 Mess? What mess? We have one of the best QB's in the NFL and a shot to win a SB now. Ben said what I'm sure most of the team was thinking.

#4 Brady? what the hell does he have to do with this? and yes...he bitches also. Elite competitors do that for the most part. Most of them are ego maniacs. I probably would not want to spend much personal time with most NFL players.

#5 Ben is clearly focused on winning a SB. seriously dude... he needs to worry about getting the ball in the endzone? He's a HOF QB playing at a very high level. Maybe you should watch some of the others around the league.

#6 If steeler fans start booing Ben after throwing a pick I'll boo those steeler fans. that's pathetic and the behavior of a Bengals or Eagles fan. Comical that you think Ben should be benched if he has a bad game. wow

Nice to see Mason's relatives on the message board. He's a steeler now so I'm a fan.

I wish Mason would have said they did get someone that could help this year. If Ben can't win with this team as is then maybe the problem isn't the team.
