    Neither do I, but I also don't want to pick up a random QB out of fear 3 to 5 years from now.

    I think Ben is playing for another 5 years or until AB and Bell move on. No way Ben walks away while we have all these weapons on offense.
    I lost a bet about Najee gaining 1300 yards.

    If things work out just right I could see Landry Jones being the next Cliff Stoudt. Groom him as Ben's successor for 6 years then when Ben's injuries finally catch up to him you make him the starter. After that you just wait another 20 years or so until you can draft another HOF QB.

    They turned it quickly, IMO, because they are setting themselves up to win Super Bowls over the next 5 years while Ben is still great. You have to balance planning for the future and winning now. The Steelers need to win now with Ben. Drafting his replacement would have hindered their ability to fix the areas of the team that, in all likelihood, are most likely to be the reason they don't win Super Bowls.

    haha.. I see Landry as a decent stop gap for 4 or 5 years until we find a replacement.

    Or...Ben retires, and Landry accelerates the process by leading us to a 2-14 season in his first year as a starter, and we use the subsequent 1st overall pick on our next franchise QB.
    Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

    Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

    We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

    We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

    In other words, Landry Jones version 2.0

    Considering how much the Steelers like to take on project players with upside...I'm surprised they didn't draft Cardele Jones.
    Trolls are people too.

    They already had Cardale Jones on the roster once. It was back when he was still going by the name of "Byron Leftwich."

Rodgers, because teams were scared off by the fact that Jeff Tedford QB's were flops as pros before then, and Marino, because of rumored cocaine use. That's the list since the Reagan administration.
