Rangers9 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I guess the obvious question is does this mean the Steelers will draft a Qb in the upcoming draft. Or do they believe Mason Rudolph or Haskins is capable of being their starter. And then the obvious question would be would they draft Kenny Pickett who is projected to be a top 20 pick. If so they could be in the market for a trade up, the Steelers get the overall 20th pick this year. Look they didn't draft Dan Marino and of course regretted it. So our overall 10 or even 4 is available for the right price. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So our overall 10 or even 4 is available for the right price. Rodgers or Russ Wilson in a trade. Maybe they bring in Dalton, Tyrod Taylor, Winston, or Cam Newton to hold the fort for a year. Maybe a trade for Minshew? It feels like they have to do something. I can't see them trotting out Rudolph or Haskins next season and none of the draft prospects would likely be ready to start on Day 1. This team is still playoff-worthy, but they need a veteran QB.

greenwichjetfan Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 As with most celebrities or sports stars, I have no say in any of their lives and it doesn't impact me in any way shape or form, so I choose to focus on whatever it is that made them famous. In Ben's case, it's football. Ben was great. He was better than great on the field. He was the only QB I feared during those early Rex years - and he proved why on that game winning first down to end the 2010 AFCCG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multiple sexual assualt accusations. One resulted in a settlement out of court. Yet, aside from the mentions on this stire, there has been so little mention of this in the narrtive of his career. It's not omitted at all. In fact its brought up quite a bit, just not by ESPN. As unpopular as it may be, why SHOULD they be mentioned? One was settled and theres a 50/50 possibility he paid to get a false accuser to shut up, which is what lawyers suggest quite often. The other never had charges pressed and again was a 50/50 possiblity. He said/she said. And while some people would immediately jump to "where there's smoke, theres fire", I would argue that being a superstar athlete makes you far more susceptible to a false accusation Rothlesburger gets more flak than Peyton Manning or Kobe Bryant, and there was farrrrrrrrrr more evidence something happened with those men, but they are treated like saints. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, this is why I think it's different with Watson. I think, today, the impact of Watson's return is a net negative, whereas with Ben, a decade plus ago, it was a wash at worst, and obviously long-term, a positive for the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You very well may be right. I found Mara's comments pretty damning. He's usually a say-nothing type and he went out of his way to mention the allegations against Watson as a reason for the Giants having no interest in trading for him.

JohnnyLV Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Lol, he is a rapist. Fook this guy. Everyone looks the other way because he is good at throwing a football. Glad he is gone, no respect for the loser. And in my opinion rape is not really a "he's reformed or "gets a second chance" thing 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
