Steelers have begun contacting teams to trade Ben

The Steelers actually contacted the Panthers offering Roethlisberger in exchange for player(s)/pick(s) unknown and our FO rebuffed them.

Best move they've made all offseason. God bless you Marty Hurney.

Second and D Will if I had to guess.

I don't love Ben's play, and I hate what he represents, but we could benefit greatly in the long run if we made that move.

If it truly was offered, and we passed, I would probably be a little angry.

Bah, depends on the offer...

If they wanted Williams OR Stewart, I'd say the FO did the smart thing.

If they wanted next year's first round pick, I'd say they might have been smart, might have not.

If they wanted a O-line player and a pick, I'd say they screwed up.

I would have traded D will, and a third, or an O lineman, or next years first.

The only one I prob would not have done is stew.

We need a QB, and while I do not put Ben in the top 6-7 in the League, we can certainly get by with a top 10 QB.

This is going to be really hard for the Steelers to pull off, even if the Raiders were included. IF indeed the 4-6 game suspension is accurate, so you have a guinny pig QB for those games knowing he will lose that spot week 7. I just don't see it happening.

Every QB that starts is thinking that he will shine, and you won't be able to replace him....but that never happens.

If you get the chance to start, do well, and get replaced, maybe you get shipped off in the offseason for a chance to start somewhere else.

They always give 110% when they get the shot.

Well the Steelers just reclaimed Byron Leftwich(not that he's on Rapelisberger's level) but they also still have Batch and Dennis Dixon so I think the Rooneys are ready to cut Mr. Benny Boy loose based on his bad character issues(regardless of whether or not he raped those girls or was set up) and his not so bright decision making skills. Heck Terry Bradshaw the best Steeler QB in history doesn't even like him.

I'm also gonna go on and say that Big Ben is massively out of shape and washed up, (yes I'm aware he won the Superbowl 2 years ago). And it is so incredibly doubtful that he will ever lead another team to the SuperBowl(and I think the Rooneys and Mike Tomlin realize that) that they might as well just go on and rape Choakland or some other NFL doormat for a top 10 pick plus whatever else they can manage to get for him.

Just my 2 cents.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By TD alt · Posted

      Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.

      Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy

      Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
