    I'd rather Ben not expose himself to getting injured even worse by the likes of Justin Houston and Tamba Hali this week if he is not 100% able to protect himself from those beasts by being able to move around the pocket (with an inexperienced left tackle starting his first NFL game, mind you, in a place known to make it difficult for visiting offenses to be on the same page due to the noise level...this won't be like San Diego where our fans totally take over...Chiefs fans are a proud group, even in down years).

    I'd rather he take one more week to heal further in advance of the most important game on our schedule this year, at home against the team that is currently two games up on us for the division lead. We need him to be ready to go against Cincy, and one more week of rest can help that come to fruition.
    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.

      I'd like Ben to play about a quarter just to get the feel back. Treat it sorta like pre-season and have Jones take over the rest of the game. Unless of course we get the ball with 2:00 minutes left and are down by 4. Then I want Ben back in the lineup.
      As many on this site think ... The Rooney's suck, Colbert sucks, Tomlin sucks, the coaches suck, and the players suck.

      but Go Steelers!!!

        Here's hoping that Jones has an amazing game (300+ yds, 3+ TDs, with 65%+ comp), not just for a win, but so that Ben has that extra motivation to outperform his teammate when he returns. Nothing wrong with a little friendly competition between teammates, right?
