Going to be interesting decisions in Pittsburgh coming up. Ben will be an interesting decision. I don't think he will play anywhere else, but his years past long deferrals now finally hit the Cap and that is going to be problematic to keep or attract talent. Assuming you get healthy on defense, then it becomes an offensive issue. Do you keep your talent and bring in a QB or stick with Ben and Pouncey one last time and try to make a run. I think this year proved that if you keep Ben, by not having a running game and a complete bombs away passing game, it became stagnated. Still high powered, but easier to defend and prone to mistakes. As much I think we squandered Ben's later years, I sadly think it has come to an end. I would still take him over 90% of the Qb's in the NFL, but if you can't keep a lot of talent around him, just doesn't make sense. I also do believe the elbow greatly impacted his long bombs which were a hallmark to the offense and they obviously didn't want him holding the ball at all, so no true progression of reads/scrambles, that reduces dimensional flexibility.
IMO
TD
