Ben to Arizona Cardinals trade...would you do this?

[hawaiiansteel]

No way, not if Barkley becomes our QB. We could mire and spin our wheels for 10-20 years like we did after Bradshaw. I'd love Peterson, no question. But I have zero faith that Barkley is going to be even a decent NFL QB, not to mention a franchise QB. He is Colt McCoy and Matt Leinart rolled into one QB.

I agree, I would not want Barkley as our QB...

They are actually coming out about every other year now. You dont have to wait 20 years any more.

Cam, RG 3 and Luck arn't franchise qb's just yet. I am assuming this is whom you are referring to...

Win a SB or two then the talks begin.

Well by your definition, Dan Marino was never a franchise QB.

A franchise QB is one that you build your franchise around. An elite QB.

...have all come into the NFL in the past 10 years...so again..I hardly think it is a 20 year waiting period anymore.

Barkley isn't even the best QB in the draft. Let alone a first rounder. I like the idea of the trade, but not the selections.

Agreed.

Disagree. Highly disagree.

Ok figured a "better" QB to get then Moore. Not sure what it would take. Maybe Alex Smith could run Haleys offense good enough with this Ben to AZ trade to take us to the superbowl?

[pfelix73]

Hell No... This is a terrible idea!

[feltdizz]

I think Ben deserves a year or 2 in Haleys offense with a healthy Decastro, healthy RB and a #1 WR who isnt holdint out or disgruntled and unfocused before we run him out of town. If Arians tried to make this trade and Ben wanted out I wouldnt fight to keep him.

I've been a fan of the Steelers since 1993. I repeatedly had my heart ripped out of my chest and stomped on by a string of mediocre QBs. I'm insulted that anybody would even consider this scenario plausible. People really don't know what they have until it's gone, apparently. Talk about taking a franchise QB for granted. This is embarrassing.

When is the last time a team dealt a QB with 2 rings and 3 SB appearances in his early 30's? Never.
