    Just because something is a distraction in the media does not mean that it is a distraction in the locker room...

    By now, NFL teams are so used to "tweefs" (Twitter beef) being blown out of proportion that it is hardly a blip on their respective radar screens...
    Actually, my post was NOT about you...but, if the shoe fits, feel free to lace that &!+€# up and wear it.

      There were several things written last year about his second half demeanor changing with facing some adversity on the field and the emergence of Brown as Ben's go to target. maybe true, maybe not true but perception can be reality whether fare or not fair.

      His teammates will decide whether he is a leader not us. We just offer opinions based on accurtate or inaccurate information.

        I didn't enjoy this comment from Rooney: "We went through this during the '70s," Steelers chairman emeritus Dan Rooney said Monday while taking a break during the NFL owners' meetings.

        The Steelers had to replace defensive tackle Joe Greene and linebackers Andy Russell and Jack Ham following the run that produced four Super Bowl titles. Do we really want to think of the void that was left in the 80s...Makes me want to cry. Though I don't thikn this will happen again, it is an unpleasant thought.

          Please. The lack of talent was why they didn't win in the 1980's, not the lack of leadership. You honestly going to try and tell me that guys like Webster, Tunch, Hinkle, Stallworth, Shell, and David Little didn't provide leadership?

            That's some pretty good talent.

              I really don't care about leadership in the locker room. Please. I want leadership on the field. That player is Ben Roethlisberger.

                If "pouty" means competitive then I'm all for it.

                  In some spots. But they were bad at OL all over and their CBs for the most part sucked. I won't even get into the QB play at that time.
