    If they win it all this year, I think Ben will be back for another round. That is assuming he isn't pounded too badly during the year. Harrison, on the other hand, will retire if they win it all.

      I would be okay with that. If we do win it all, I am hoping they draft a QB in round 1 if the value is there.

        I love Ben and all -- but unfortunately his Retirement talks remind me of Brett Favre.....it's going to be drama till the end.

        And as long as Bruce Arians and Ken Whizenhunt are in the NFL I think there's always a chance he could be looking for a quick ring somewhere else (should we have to go into rebuilding mode).

        L.B.

          I think the table is set in Pitt for the next few years.. I don't know what rebuilding mode would look like... to be honest. We just went through a massive youth movement on the defensive side...and the offense is pretty well locked up contract wise for the next few years. I think the table is set...and the best situation Ben could be in from here til about 2020.

            Picking 32nd overall isn't exactly the optimal position to try to obtain your next franchise quarterback in the draft.
            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.

              This is true. Might have to do some trading to move up to get "That guy"... or Maybe Kirk Cousins will go the Haden route next year... and take a reasonable deal to play with a winner. All I know is, Landry is not the guy you want behind Center if you want to compete for SBs.
