y*so*blu Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Admittedly I have not been following the Steelers closely this year, but the rumblings do not sound good. Should he finally call it a career? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Hard to really say, he has definitely declined but the Steelers haven't done him any favors. They have an extremely young OL that can't hold up in pass pro/run block. They were 32nd in the league in rushing yards last year and through 3 games they're 32nd again this year. Which leads to their offense being almost exclusively dependent on the short passing game to move the ball. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totty Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 I think it's a combination of a statue who is one rolled ankle from a retirement home and a super inexperienced young untalented o line. Young Ben could take some shots. Roll out. Withstand some brutality. This Ben... Cannot. One of the best. But it's over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BayRaider Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 He’s been washed since mid season last year. Literally everyone knows this. Arm is gonezo. Why the Steelers kept him, no idea. Ben is the main reason I picked the Steelers to win 5-6 games this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TecmoSuperJoe Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Yeah. Just got back at look at a game from 2008 when he's pocket waltzing like crazy, and it's just night/day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 The sped up one is a little funnier 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearerofnews Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Yes he needs to follow Rivers and Eli's lead and retire. I thought after he got groomed up and didn't look like a caveman and lost weight that he would do better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soko Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 He looked wash through most of last year. This is 2015 Peyton, but Ben isn’t running the offense the way Peyton was. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chargers Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Steelers aren't doing him any favors with no run game to speak of. Their OC is also calling a pass happy offense that isn't really good on 3rd down. Ben probably looks good with a better OL but with this squad and offense how they currently are Big Ben just won't be able to succeed.

Kiwibrown Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 His style of play has caught up to him. He was an amazing qb, could break all kinds of tackles and shrugs guys off. One of the best broken play qbs ever. He has always been bigger so that will take a toll on your joints too, he isnt the same athlete he once was. He was such a legend they have found it hard to move off him. I dont know why he is still playing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tk3 Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 This is almost as ridiculous of a poll question as Calvin vs Edelman The only reason to answer "No" is if your categorization is something even WORSE than just "washed" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apparition Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 (edited) Washed, rinsed, AND repeated. I enjoy the fact that he's basically holding the organization hostage at this point. It's funny to me. Edited September 29, 2021 by Apparition 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
