Dave, I say this will a pure heart....Rothlesburger is old and needs to go. As a “not steelers fan” I would love for him to stay because he just can’t move anymore. It just seems that with a few exceptions (like the Manning brothers and a very few others) the new hot QBs are young and willing to risk their lives by scrambling. The old guys are too important and won’t risk it - I’m sure the owners tell them NOT to run but the fans want to see them do something besides eat turf all day. You need a new QB
and a new goalie ; ) i read yesterday that Pens are considering Bryzgalov. you cannot rely on that nut Fleury, bc he’s too easily spooked, and Vokoun also is old and not reliable enough.
Ben needs protection. He is the only thing working on the offense right now.
And when the idiot in charge of the offense lets Ben run the no huddle, it works.
That’s the entire thing playing out over the last 2 years. Todd Haley wants Ben to sit in the pocket and not scramble, but that is against Ben’s nature and suicidal when you have no offensive line.
Ben has thrown some dumb balls this year, yes. But he’s not ready to be put out to pasture yet.
New Kenny Powers was on last night. I have it recorded.
No, I disagree...Rapelisberger has 5-6 more good years in him, but he needs a line and some young weapons.
