Who would you want backing up Ben?

If Ben can throw an accurate deep ball watch out

 

I'm referring to the specific elbow injury that required surgery to repair, when the 3 tendons tore off the bone.
Ben has probably dealt with pain ever since his first NFL start, this is different.

 

I would like to see the Steelers trade a third round pick to Miami for Josh Rosen. He has had the crappy luck to be on not one but two very bad teams.
I was surprised to see that he is nearly two years younger than Mason Rudolph, and some months younger than the Duck.

I know that this can’t happen for economic reasons but there could be quite a high side to him. It would be worth the shot, third round draft picks make NFL rosters at about the same probability as UDFAs.

 

You are probably right about not trading a third for him. The top three, you expect to start, so in turn you’d expect to get a starter for a third. A fourth, I’d do it in a heartbeat. The reason I would want him is that the things that are wrong are things that can perhaps be fixed, and the things that are good are the things you can’t teach.

 

Good post!

I don't see Ben as unreliable, he dealt with a bad elbow for a while and it finally gave out on him. I honestly see him as one of the most reliable on the team because it is 100% guaranteed that he will give all he has to win.....and he will motivate the others to do the same.

As far as MR, I think everyone knows my position on him. I just don't think he has the right fundamentals and three years into the NFL is too late to change those. It's unfortunate that the Steelers didn't give him the help he needed from day one because he had a lot of potential.

 

Watch out for what, INT.???????? Ben once said I like airing out a few a game and hope for the best.

Better way to say it: If we have wide receivers who can do some Lynn Swann type stuff, watch out.

I once had a video of Swanny's greatest catches. Bradshaw got the credit for the yardage but if not for the ridiculous ability of Swann they would have been INT's or incomplete passes.

 

NFL.com seems to think that Lynch lost the camp battle to Duck and that he will be cut on cut down day. So they are rolling with Mason and Duck again behind Ben.

 

Bradshaw once said he learned if you throw the ball to a John Stallworth, it will not be intercepted.

 

Been has been zipping balls after surgery

 

That has to hurt

 

Please provide link to proof? What a load of B.S.

Rosen will be available for free next year, as they will not pay him his roster bonus.

Roll with Mason this year as he knows the playbook. I say they keep all 4 QBs this year, letting both Duck and Paxton run the scout team. I think having no Preseason this year hurt Paxton's chances of moving up on the depth chart. He had no opportunities to showcase his mobility or arm strength without playing with the full field.

 

That gif is available, but I wasn't clicking on it (let alone posting it here).

 

My bad on the misquote.

I too wanted the Steelers to make a move on Rosen after the draft. Right now he offers no value for the 2020 Steelers, and I think he will bee a free agent at the end of this year, so why give up a 3rd?

 

Quit stuttering

 

I think the lack of pre-season hurts Duck. Our back ups this year are going to be Mason and Lynch.

 

According to what NFL.COM is talking about Lynch didnt impress and is likely cut tomorrow

 

Josh Rosen was just cut by Miami after failing to find a trade partner.
