They honestly need to draft a guy and use the cap to retain their talent. Yeah sure, lets just draft a guy with our mid teens to low 20s pick. Its not like other teams fail to pull it off year after year after year with top 5 picks. Kirk Cousins is a good QB and outside of TE every facet of the Steelers offense is leagues better than what he works with in Washington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuskieTitan Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Even the Titans beat the Jaguars. I'd be concerned if I was the Steelers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaserFocus Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 1 hour ago, everlong said: Do y'all think he's legitimately regressing or just in a slump? When you combine his recent performance with thoughts of retirement in the offseason, it makes you wonder if his time is coming. If we could measure punishment absorbed by the QB position, I have no doubt Ben would top the list. His playing style was never conducive to a playing as long as other QBs, and everyone who follows the Steelers knows this. He's in a slump, but so is Bell, who has only had one good game after skipping the preseason. Too early to write off the future first ballot HOF QB in terms of his performance this year, but it's possible this could be his last season.

The redskins are just the only franchise inept enough to let a starting QB enter the FA market and go for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shady Slim Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 i think it's a form loss or a slump, you don't just throw five picks in a game week in week out, it's too much of an outlying suck i think to be a long term concern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apparition Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Guys who always rely more on pure physical ability than intelligence and polished skills tend to fall off pretty rapidly. I'm not prepared to say that Roethlisberger is finished but it wouldn't surprise me at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xmad Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Until the steelers are out of the playoffs officially, don't be concerned. The steelers always lose to medicore teams plus the jaguars have a legit defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't one of those franchises. They are a draft and develop team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyMossIsBoss Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 The fact that he seriously considered retiring in the offseason is why I suspect he is probably done as a borderline elite QB. He's still the same size with the same arm that he had last year, and at 35 I'd say age isn't a physically limiting factor yet. So I'd wager his struggles are more a lack of focus/interest on his part. No excuse to be playing as poorly as he has when you have AB, Bryant and Bell.
