    I just think he's an easy QB to defend, and the league knows how to defend him; and to be honest always has.

    In his prime he had defenses that kept him in the game. The past few years he hasn't. Now I think the defense is getting back to that level. I think he's limited as a QB simply because he doesn't know where to go with the ball as often as I wished that he would (the elite QB's know on a high percentage of plays where the mismatch is and can read 3 to 4 progressions if they are wrong). BR is just not a student of the game. With a good defense he can win any game he is out there for.

    I'll miss him when he's gone but I can't get past his flaws. If he only had the mental makeup he could have been the GOAT and the Steelers could be going after #10 by now. As it is, not many have the mental makeup and I'll settle for the 2 he brought us, and perhaps there is a little left for his 3rd.
