He has been accused of rape twice. And settled out of court with one of the victims. So, yes he’s a rapist. Why is that a lazy take?
It’s lazy because it’s a dead horse. It’s lazy because it has zero to do with the maturation of Dwayne Haskins. Ben at a younger age was a skeeze ball. I saw it first hand when he would pop up out at the bars and the women would fucking essentially line up. The girl in Georgia followed him from bar to bar, that doesn’t sound like a rape victim. It sounds like a sorority girl that has sex with a pro athlete in a bathroom and when he didn’t want to date it became something else. Go read the reports. Either way it’s lazy for the first two reasons and it’s old and tired. Be better.

For what it's worth, 3 of the 4 talking heads on Get Up! this morning said that the Steelers would be better off moving on from BR this year. And the other one said the reason to keep him is that he still would cost 23 million on the cap if you dumped him...and thought that they could instead do better by improving their running game. But, they also acknowledged that that would mean they would have to replace Pouncey, and upgrade a couple of other OL spots...and get a decent RB, and those would likely have to be draft picks. The others agreed but said that if they are at that point, they may as well put to team in younger, hopefully better....at least more mobile hands. Right now, with a potentially porous OL, no running game, and a statue at QB, and probably losing one of their top receivers (juju) it would not look good for them, so they may as well move on.
-
I think they keep BR because of the cap hit and they aren’t in a place in the draft to take one of the top QBs this season or take on money moving on from Ben. They should Build a fortress around the QB position for him next season and the next guy in 2022. It May involve spending valuable draft capital and getting creative by signing low budget guys that could be capable.
They need a back too.
They need to get back to how they started with Ben...great defense and a great running game.
-
The Steelers GM very Non-committal about BRs future with the team:
"Hopefully there's a way we can figure out what's best for the organization. Hopefully he can see that and feel the same way. There's a lot of work to be done."

Questions asked on PFT this morning: Which is the most likely scenario involving Ben R. this coming year (I paraphrased some) :
A. He takes the big pay cut and is the Steelers starting QB
B. He sees the light and voluntarily retires.
C. He doesn't see the light, but the Steelers do and cut him, and he catches on with another team
D. The Steelers cut him and no team shows any interest in him and he is forced, essentially, into retirement.
Which option do you think is more likely?
-
Don't see him taking that big of a pay cut. It makes no sense in keeping him for another year when they have to sign the younger talent for the future. He isn't worth it at this point.
His last game is a big L to the browns.

Anybody else find it odd? That the HOF QB coattail's they all rode for all these years.. now can't pass protect..run, because Conners could not..dropped passes he threw & thought dancing on team logo's was a good idea ?...Yep Colbert ! ! Rooney & yourself made yourselves a nice mess... Keep Ben? or A cost loss of a few defensive pieces? Which corner will they back themselves into next? stay tuned

Commentators have said they are going to have to let Conner, Juju, Dupree, Villanueva, and Alualu all walk in free agency. We shall see.

In the Steelers defense which I hate to do...all are replaceable except for Alualu - they will need a wide body there to make the 3-4 work.
Alex Highsmith is going to do well.

Perhaps. I would have said Dupree was more valuable. Think about it.....it was after Dupree went down that the Steelers went into the tank.

Okay but Dupree had nothing to do with the Steelers being one dimensional on offense and Ben showing his age.

True, but, at the same time that was happening, their defense also started faltering. So what came first, the chicken or the egg. I think the following shows that when Dupree was in, the defense did much better.

Bottom line: if the Squibs have to lose both Dupree and Alualu, as is speculated, its all good.

Looks like a ton of close games that easily could of made them a 8-8 team this year. They got figured out at the end of the year and teams to advantage.

The Steelers using the Franchise Tag on one of their FAs?? Can they even afford to do so?

This was necessary for them to deal with their cap situation. I am not sure that even with this and with Pouncey's retirement that they are at a break even point, much less being able to resign the likes of Dupree and Shuster. Will have to try to find something that explains it vis a vis the cap.
