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.

      Most hated teams

      After Bountygate and the information that came out on the Saints owners shielding pedophile priests in New Orleans it will forever be the Saints numero uno for me. FUG THE SAINTS! I hope this is just the beginning of a long term period of suffering for that shitty organization run by even shittier human beings. #2.Pats/Belicheat #3. Falcons (Mike Vick years then Matt Ryan/Julio running it up) Ryan pooping his pants and 28-3 def makes my bad days always better just thinking of those. #4 Pretty much any franchise fan base thats obnoxious Steelers, Eagles, Bills, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, etc.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
