SkippyX Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I think the odds of Ben being done in 2021 are lower than the odds of Brees or Brady not having it in 2020. He turns 38 in March. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Buck Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 It might be a slight overstatement to say Ben is "done", but if I were the Pittsburgh Steelers, I would be looking hard for his replacement. There is not much tread left on those tires, IMO. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are paying Ben $30m, and Dalton isnt going to be extremely cheap. Some teams will give him more money than we can. We have other holes to fill, too.

To be fair, he was playing with the elbow injury in both games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know how Ben will be going forward, but no one should be using how he looked in a game and a half last year to predict anything. Yeah we should be worried about that elbow instead, if what you said is true. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He turns 38 in March. Yeah, but he's been injured so much more than those guys ever were. He has had his whole body repaired throughout his career, because he played most of those years without an offensive line that would actually block for him. He's been sacked more than any other QB in NFL history. You really can't compare Roethlisberger's situation to any other current QB in the league right now.

VigilantZombie Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 As long as his elbow is good to go, he is not done. He has perhaps lost s little but overall he is still a very good QB. Cant compare him to other QBs. I will say this though, Brees is still playing at a high level. Aaron Rodgers, imo, not as much. Tom Brady definitely looks like he is into his downward slide. Ben has been the most hit QB in the league and he is also one of the best at breaking and alluding tackles. 2018 was plagued with him trying to force the ball to a head case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elky Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) Here's the thing: Pittsburgh doesn't need Ben to be Killer B's era good. As long as he doesn't zombify like Peyton they can win with him as a bit player ala 2008. They have the pieces on both sides of the ball. If Shazier never got hurt that defense has potential to be all-time good. Edited February 24, 2020 by Elky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedTheClock Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Ben is done. He was close to done before last season's injury. He's gonna suck up the joint this year methinks. Too bad Pittsburgh is really good at replacing their stars or at least mitigating the crippling effects of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordyTheGoffer Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I think you need to look at his tape prior to the injury, it looked weak at best but as some have pointed out, he may be the best option you have and that D could make up for a lot.
