A two time super bowl winning QB that is in his prime and is arguably top five in the game (arguably) for one draft pick? |

![]() Well, it might just be 4 games. That aside, look at what you are getting in terms of talent. Look at his age. Look at his contract.
He will make 8.05 million in 2010. He will make a little over 11 million from 2011-2014 and will make a little over 12 million in 2015. Where are you going to find a two time super bowl winning QB in his twenties and be able to not only get away with a reasonable yearly salary but also not have to pay a giant signing bonus? Regardless of how much of a creep i think he is, there is no doubt he can play. Taking away Manning, Brady and Brees, Ben is in the conversation with any other QB in the league and you can still build a team around him. If you are the Bills or Browns, you wouldn't take him over what else is out there? |

![]() Well, thats another story. Regardless of how I feel about him, I would take a chance on him if I were a GM in the top ten. He is still young and still has a chance to redeem himself and become a better person.
I think you have a greater risk of Casey Clausen or Sam Bradford ending up being a bum. |

![]() You have just brought an excellent point. Im thinking if someone trades for him they will more likely make him a fix to a bad quarterback situation. Im sure there might at least four or five teams who need help at quarterback and might be willing to trade for a quarterback who has proven that he knows how to win games. I am well aware there are a few talented quarterbacks in this years draft. Is a team willing to get an unproven quarterback when there is a proven quarterback available? Again I think its disgraceful what Roethlisberger has done. Im sure some teams are willing to take a chance on him. How many chances did Pacman Jones get?

![]() I can name 6 teams easily, and probably another 10 with some thought... Amazing they wait until 2 days before the draft to announce it - they must have a stake in boosting the draft day ratings

Snyder will figure it out. Bringing in Shanahan was a good step. |
