    If you are watching, look how KC’s o line protects Mahome. Brilliant. That is what we need.

    Speaking of hard hits, AB has never been the same since getting hit in that Bengals game…

        Farewell to Ben! Also I hope he gets the last laugh against the Ravens next weekend. While I started rooting for the Steelers in 1992, I’d say Big Ben’s career overlapped with my peak fandom from about 2003-2020. Now onto to the Vikings for the next 40 years…

        Ben deserves retirement. He’s been holding that team’s offense together with duct tape. Time for a rest.

          Next week may be the only time I will ever root for the Steelers.

                  He is (was) such an incredible talent. Great leader, smart game awareness, pinpoint accuracy, and heck of a big QB to try and sack.

                      1. Not going to dignify that article @Mik posted with a response

                      2. Should Pittsburgh consider starting Mason Rudolph this week? Let’s face it, while Ben contributed several important drives to get them to the playoffs, many of their struggles offensively have been his fault. Do they stand a better chance by starting Rudolph? What would be fair for the team? Maybe even just sitting him this week to recover? Unless they’ve got some kind of shot that will de-age his muscles and tendons for 4 hours on Sunday, this is it…

                        Some good quarterbacks coming next draft. Ridder, Corral, etc.

                        I wouldn’t mind seeing Rudolph being given a year to see what he can do. He wasn’t that bad the year Ben was out. Plus, I’m hesitant to invest heavily into a QB until we have improved our O-Line.

                        Look at Tannehill and Tennessee. That shows the difference an o-line makes.

                        What do you know? Through the first 3 days, Rudolph's been the best QB in camp... Who woulda thunk it?

                          You never know.

                          Wait until they put the pads on.
