Thanks for the memories, Big Ben

Ditto.
Named my first dog in '05 Ben. Sadly had to put him down in 2020 at 15. My other dog 17 same day. His name was Elway.

My two QB GOATS! Thanks Ben!

 

Classic example of a great player hanging on too long.

 

Thank you for all those fun seasons! Forever a Steeler!

 

Old athletes rarely have story book endings.

 

A better offensive line, you might have a different opinion

 

Thanks Ben!!

 

Thank you Ben! You were so fun to watch for so long! Thank you for the memories and giving us excitement ever year! You will be missed!

 

Say what you want about this team bu it will be a long time before we see another QB like Ben

 

Ben fought until the very last play of his career.

Thank you for the memories #7.

 

What a glorious career, #1 all time in Steeler history.

 

Cmon ben lol

 

+1 to every positive post said above and after me.

during the next couple of months i want everybody to purchase the secret and lets all put our collective juju to get another QB.

 

Agree Thanks Ben. I remember the years of O’Donnell, Brister, Stewart and Malone and dread going back to it! Appreciate the last 18 years.

 

What a weird and crazy love/hate ride. Your questionable off-field decision making earlier in your career really made it tough. Which is why I've kept the greaseball Ben as my avatar for so many years as a reminder. But you endured and always gave your all. You are the greatest Steelers QB ever and I'm both sad to see it end but happy for you to start the next chapter in your life and invest your time and energy fully into your family. Vaya con Dios Ben.

 

THANK YOU BEN.. GONNA MISS YOU

 

not much you can say about Ben other than he is the what i want from all the Steelers in the future. a true warrior that may never get the respect outside of the steeler organization the he deserves.

 

Been a heck of a ride, glad to have you and the great times that went with it. Don't be a stranger we'll keep a light on. Thanks for everything. Like the man says I've been up and down and over and out but each time I find myself down on my face I pick myself up and get back in the race. That's life.

 

Thanks, Ben. You were a warrior and will no doubt be enshrined in Canton in 5 years. Your career was a great one by any standard. But…there was more there for the taking and I think you’d be the first to admit that.

On a personal level, I’m glad you were able to get your life under control after a tumultuous and reckless first few years in the league. You have a beautiful family…now go enjoy your retirement and spending time with your wife and kids. In the grand scheme of things, that is more important than anything you ever did on the football field.

 

I remember all those years before Ben ... wishing we had "that QB."

And then in 2004 we finally got him, and it was a hell of a ride.

Thank you #7!!!!!

 

Ben was a player who kept going and eventually made everyone a believer. His play from 2014-2018 confirmed he was an elite QB. The totality of his career leaves no doubt Ben will be a HOF and likely first ballot.

 

I was glad I got to be there for Ben’s last game.

 

I'm sure it was a respectable great atmosphere. Hope you had a great time.

 

Chefs fans are mostly douchenozzles

 

I love it if only for the pun. I didn't read anything beyond the first word but I know it's nothing but praise.

I'm glad we had a HOFer with this longevity.

Been ( hahaha ) great!
