    Lets be real here, it's the Ben retirement tour. I'm not holding on to hopes and dreams i'm looking towards the future. I'm not crying about the O Line. I feel they are going into a positive direction away from finesse to physical play. Might take a full year to jell and see the results in the 2022 season.

    Of course I would like them to go all the way and win #7 but I just don't see it. And watch? I haven't missed a game in I don't know how long. We all live and die with our Steelers, well almost everyone.

    I like the direction the offense is going being balanced. The last 3 years the running game numbers have been putrid. I can see that getting respectable this season and Ben best buy in.

    Bens pass attempts and winning percentage:

    33 or less 82.6 %

    34 or more 50 %

    I agree and was not happy with his return but let's see where this thing goes. You never know.

    Agree, that Broncos team was loaded. If they didn't get upset by Jax, might have won 3 straight Super Bowls.

    And if Kordell didn't throw that pick(sorry 3 picks) against them in the 98 AFCC, they may have won, only one.

    What makes you think the offense will be balanced? We have nothing to show that our OL will be improved. As strange as it is to say, we could be worse. It depends on how a 3rd and 4th round draft pick assimilate.

    If the OL can't run block, then Ben is throwing >70% of the snaps again. If the OL can't hold the pocket for Methuselah, he'll be forced to throw in under 2.6 seconds again. Deep balls will be delivered with tons of arc and without proper mechanics. We'll lead the league again in batted balls. Harris will run for his life and pile up 700 hard-fought yards...if he makes it through the season intact.

    Our season doesn't depend on Ben being able to throw deep. It depends on a 3rd and 4th round draft pick. Doesn't make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

    I don't understand the Ben can't throw deep crowd..he was over throwing his deep ball.

    I mean a miss is still a miss.. but it was not like he was throwing in 10 yards short on the long ball

    Ben has to be a gladiator this year and win the crowd!

    Last year Ben got a free pass with no one in the crowd to Boo him.

    Here is hoping Canada brings a backbone to the Offensive Coordinator position.

    He can throw it deep, but his accuracy and timing are terrible.

    Um, not interested in a losing season. I still can’t get the 80’s out of my head.
    Should’ve taken a chance on Trask in the second. They know Rudolph isn’t the man, that’s why they only gave him a 1 yr extension.

    Trask is the new Rudolph

    The Steelers QB of the future is either Haskins if he turns it around...or is still in College.

    Watched the Sh!+ out of both, and I don't think Trask is as good a Qb as Mason R. . Now was he on a way better team in college??
    Yes Trask was.

    I think Ben must be on a short leash. If he is struggling, we cannot keep him in the game on what once was. He must be pulled in the way of Mason.

    I agree and it's like they went out and got him a RB and a TE to aid him. I wanted an Alabama guy but it was the guy the Patriots got.

    Deep down I hope something magical will happen but deeper down I know it's a pipe dream.:rolleyes:

    You are correct but some of us don't have enough time left on earth to go through another Bradshaw to Ben wait.

    He said south pole and you should worry about those dumb ass penguins who decided to stay there and lose their wings so they can freeze their ass off. Santa has anti asteroid elfs.

    It will be an interesting season for us all. And we will watch the games if we are 11-0 or 0-11. If I can muddle through the single A Pirates I sure the hell can muddle through a bad Steeler season.

    Go Penguins!!

    We are talking about the Steelers, not the Pirates. Right? Right?

    Agree, but I am not sure the phrase "short leash" and Ben will ever compute with this team. They didn't bring him back unless they think he will revert to his former self. If they did and they still have doubts, then this team has more issues than just Ben. IMO>

    That's like basically every QB ever except Brady. Team that are winning run the ball in the 4th quarter, teams that are not pass the ball.

    I was going 2 point this out, but figure I'd wait till someone else did. I even did research on it.
