My post was sarcasm. In reference to a basketball player years ago making a similar statement.

Not if he stays here, that's for sure.
Been seeing a lot of Ben highlights the last couple of days. He is absolutely one of the best to EVER play the game. I hope he can play another 3 to 5 years at his current level. It will be a sad, sad day when he hangs them up. We are never out of any game with him in there and we are never out of any season with him as our QB. Dude should have been the team MVP for the past 10 years, easy.
Yep. Has his warts on and off the field, but a good % of his throws are the stuff of legend. I think Ben (unfortunately) will be looked upon much more highly long after he's hung 'em up.
Big Ben is one of the most underrated if not the most underrated players in the NFL
buy or sell?

But he always hit too hard. It's a great skill to have with a meat tenderizer.

DEFINATELY !!!!! See it all the time. Stonio SB catch was all credited to stonio and crickets to BEN for the perfect throw...............SB MVP is proof of that.

I think so. My only counterargument is that our red zone efficiency and overall TD/point output is usually less than what I would expect. But it's hard to say if that's a Ben thing or other things, because his INT ratio in the red zone is fantastic. He's def a very underrated player, rarely considered for awards or anything but has definitely played at MVP levels at points throughout his career
Yeah, but he would overdo it and be unnecessarily rough with the product.

Ben is just a game manager.
From Gerry Dulac:
NPG2003: Gerry, tell me that I'm wrong, but it seems to me that all along Le'Veon Bell has been more interested in becoming the highest paid FA in 2019 than getting a long term deal done in 2018 with the Steelers. The reported numbers offered to him by the Steelers were more than fair. I hope knows he is going to regret not being with Pittsburgh after this year.
Gerry Dulac: You are not wrong. Narcissist
Dumbo: Any chance bell is with us in 2019?
Gerry Dulac: Zip

Shame, but the writing has been on the wall.
Buying. Hard not to be biased but when you watch a Ben highlight reel, it's hard to think that most other QBs could ever throw some of the balls he's thrown and under the circumstances he's been under.

I don't think he is underrated at all. He gets a lot of accolades by the announcers every time I watch the game. I don't think anyone is going to write any article about how great he is until he gets to the Super Bowl again. Not sure what people who think he is underrated want from the announcers and media.

Can't compare Ben to Bell. Ben was a high first round pick and a QB which meant he signed a big contract from day 1 of his career. Ben also plays QB which means he can play at a high level and be paid at a high level up until he's 40. QBs will sign multiple contracts in their career.
Bell was a 2nd round pick who was underpaid for the first few years of his career. He plays RB where you are considered dead by 30. That means a RB MUST hit big on their second contract because usually when their 2nd contract is finished, so are they.
Bell is right to hold out for big money. I think he's foolish for passing up the steelers last offer though. Gurley didn't even get what Bell was looking for and he is younger and is not a bad night away from being suspended for a season like Bell.

The only time he gets praise by announcers is when they do our game. Talk shows continue to name QB's less than what Ben has accomplished, with no mention of Ben. Bell is a selfish, self entitled , crowned self worth by Bell himself. He has stats but look last year alone on third and short was not made by Bell or how many times inside the ten he was stopped. Fine between the thirty yard lines . yes he is good in the minds of the fantasy world and the announcers on stats but he has become a cancer to this team with his holding the Steelers at bay. He does not want to be here so why to the Steelers continue to stroke his sorry butt. We have some runners that can do the job, give them more opportunities and who knows Call plays to our strength not the same over and over plays with Bell. , it isn't like we don't have the power on offense with all the receivers we have in a passing game league.
