Good question. I could see him bottom one top of 2. I guess it depends on what his medical evals show during the draft process. They have to weigh that risk VS reward. But now that rookie's don't get that over inflated contract.teams are taking a little more risk in comparison to times past.
 
Look. This is a lost season and the shame of it is the defense is good enough for a deep playoff run.

What left is to develop the younger players. I’ve seen enough out of RUDY to know he’s not starting material. He’s lucky the defense has set him up to win games and Boswell has been money while the other teams kicker has missed game winners.

A loss here could be just what the doctor orders if it rids us of Tomlin.

With Ben this is an 8-2 team.

You say that based on what? I mean, it's not just you, I have seen it a lot of places. 9-1, 8-2. Why would anyone believe that?

Last time I saw Ben on the field, he was having the same struggles as Rudolph and Hodges with guys just not beating their man and a dead-*** running game. I agree this season is lost, but even with Ben and the injuries, at this point, I think this team is 6-4, MAYBE 7-3 if a couple things break right.

I know Steelers die hards are gonna blame everything on the Big Ben injury, and I guess rightfully so. But the truth is no one knows what this team is or isn't with Big Ben in the lineup. There are too many variables. Sure I'd like to think this team is a contender with Ben under center this season, but even Tomlin said the defense is called differently when he plays vs a back up. So we'll never know.
 
Sarge, I agree.

No starting QB

Lost our premier RB to the Jets. Connor can't stay healthy

Lost our starting WR but he was lost anyway. No one has stepped up to be even close.

We've had a turnstile of TEs since Heath Miller retired.

We would NOT be 8-2 with Big Ben.

Lucky to be 7-3.

Bungals may be the Bungals, but this weekend they may win.
 
Who Dey dem Bengals gonna beat!?

Sigh. Maybe us.
 
Not sure why many are so glum going into this weekend. It's not like your life depends on the outcome of a football game.

Sit back, enjoy, if possible, and pull for the Steelers to win. Never bet against the home team.

Here in lies a BIG problem. Why would Tomlin call a ****** D when BEN is in there? Is it to handicap BEN ??? Why wouldn't this current D be called to help win games? If Tomlin is playing down the defense when BEN is in then he is ******* dumber than given credit. Wouldn't you call a defense to win, regardless of offensive player(S). I get situational play calls but history shows CRAPPY play calls regardless of offensive personal.
