Isn't Colbert basically on a year to year contract now because he's brought up retirement as well? That's nothing new for guys getting up there and that retirement talk had alot to do with wanting the ******* me first attitudes on the team cleaned up, not just the OC, who did a good job of losing his job on his own on the south side.
I know. I am not taking issue with what you say here. I take issue with this constant need to defend a grown man, a 17 year vet who is coming to the end. It is almost as if some are just looking to be offended for Ben. Nothing Colbert said was wrong or offensive in any way. If Ben is that sensitive to be offended by it, he needs to just retire. He has been rewarded handsomely over the years.
People defend Ben simply because between the media, some fans, and the NFL he has been thrown plenty of shade. Somewhat ridiculous just how much. And this guy was nothing but a winner for us. I don't personally need to defend him for everything. But if I read some bullshit I won't mind throwing a word in here and there.
I didn't have any issue with what Colbert said, but look at guys like Watson and Wilson. Watson throwing a fit because he isn't included in the hiring and **** like that, and Wilson whining about behing hit to much and not having as much say as he'd like. Rodgers had some ****** stuff to say when GB drafted a QB in round 1 last year. Did you hear Sharpe, Scott, or any other ex NFL player bashing the **** out of them 24/7? Ben never said any of that stuff, and they beat him down for that exact ****.
Exactly their personal whipping boy. We get it you don't like BigBen (media) get over it.
I have zero issue with what Colbert said as well. Ben is more of a cap issue, than not being able to throw.
Not a chance. If the Steelers felt good with Ben's ability to still play at a high level a deal would already be done. They watched the film down the stretch and saw what we all saw.
I can't rule out this possibility. But if that be the thought why drag it out any longer?
Because no one in the front office wants to tell Ben they don't think he can play anymore.
Can't delay the inevitable there is work to do or not ? Which should take center stage.
Exactly. Either bring him back or don't. If they plan on bringing him back, you have to treat the cap like it'll be at the minimum and just get the deal done.
Keep reading it won't rise much more the projected figure which is 182/183 mil. Hopefully it is figured out sooner than later. I am ok with either or regardless of what I prefer. But the greater want is for things to be accomplished. I am an inpatient ******.
Then they'd have pulled an Arians on him and tell him, he can't fit under the cap or whatever, they've never had an issue ending things before.
