Actually I would pissed off if they dumped Ben. It would just be another embarrassment on Art's resume.
The Steelers have never won a Super Bowl since Art began to have an ownership stake in this team.
He's a 60 year old Jerry Jones wanna-be.
And that's not a good thing.
They were a pass happy team since Ben started in 2004.All other seasons we have done what YOU want, been a pass happy team.
This includes every time we missed a playoff with Ben.
Then in 2010 it all changed. Because Art wants the run game.
Have to watch the game and not read the box scores.
Dan Rooney became president of the Steelers in 1975. The team went to 4 Super Bowls during his first decade in charge, and won 4 rings.Originally Posted by Siggy00

Good job taking a thread about the tuck rule vote and hijacking it into more of your pro-Ben, anti-Art propaganda IN THE VERY FIRST RESPONSE. That has to be some kind of thread hijacking record...even spammers trying to sell cheap knockoff jerseys aren't so blatant.

And since he became an owner his role has changed. He's now making FOOTBALL decisions and telling HOF QBs how to play their position.Art Rooney II became president of the Steelers in 2003. The team went to 3 Super Bowls during his first decade in charge, and won 2 rings.
Can't compare Art to Dan. Dan's been around this team his whole life. Dan wasn't "president" but he was the one who hired Chuck Noll in 1969. I'd say that was a pretty significant decision in the history of this team.
Art was a lawyer in private practice for 20 years.

The tuck rule is a joke. If Kraft tells Goodell he wants it back he'll re-instate it.
You are incorrect. The original poster mentioned Ben's style of play as the reason they voted for the tuck rule to stay. I responded, on topic that they were talking to Bray, and if they pick him, Ben would be gone, thus making this alleged reason for wanting the tuck rule to stay meaningless.Good job taking a thread about the tuck rule vote and hijacking it into more of your pro-Ben, anti-Art propaganda IN THE VERY FIRST RESPONSE.

Apology accepted.
So wait a minute... Is the Barry Sanders Steelers jersey I just bought authentic or no?
1. C.J. Mosley LB Alabama
2. Jordan Matthews WR Vanderbilt
3. (comp) Philip Gaines CB Rice
4. Arthur Lynch TE Georgia
5. Ross Cockrell CB Duke
5. (comp) Derrick Hopkins DT Virginia Tech
6. Josh Mauro DE Stanford
6. (comp) Shaquil Barrett OLB Colorado State
7. Quincy Enunwa WR Nebraska
oh, yes. that jersey is definitely real...
What rumors, other than a very vague statement that the Steelers wouldn't rule anything out (the same statement they make every year)?
There was a rumor that we were going to sign Jake Long. Drafting Ben's replacement in this draft? Chances of that are about the same, IMO.
