After all the drama from the last year I would be shocked if they brought Kaepernick in. Can you imagine the media circus it would create?
I'm not quite ready to cut Moncreif yet. Maybe the broken finger is causing issues but I would keep him for now.Idiot Boxer said:
Let's face it. If Rudolph goes down or fizzles does it really matter who the QB will be after him?Landry Jones
I’d rather see Bruce Gradkowski, Charlie Batch or Byron Leftwich come out of retirement and I’m only quasi joking. Think Kurt Warner still wants a shot?
Which is why they should just make it Hodges and hold their breath. Zero point of pretending some vet is going to come in and save them. That ship has pretty much sailed. There are vets I wouldn’t mind taking the chance on and Jones is not one of them. Arms that come to mind: Trade for Tyrod Taylor (only if Rudolph isn’t your starter and QB of the future. I doubt this.), Cardale Jones (huge arm, why not, looked really good this preseason), Logan Woodside (enjoyed his play and efficiency coming out, D.Johnson had best college season with him).
Fair enough. I don't have a strong opinion either way but if it were me I would probably sign the veteran.
I really thought Moncreif was going to work out but at this point I am fine with rolling with Eli instead.
I quoted you because I felt like instantly when he came off the field that he was done. I've always admired the way Ben played on the field and his command of the offense in general. His ability to hang in the pocket a little longer, very Marino-like in that regard but I thought...you've watched Luck walk away and you have a lot more including $225M over his career including $45M this season, 3 SB trips, 2 rings, many playoff runs, what is there left for him to prove? I might be wrong but I seem to remember Bradshaw finally having to retire because of his elbow but I might be wrong.
Could be. Moncreif is been an absolute disaster to the point where now he's helping the other team make receptions.
You are 100% correct, it was Bradshaw's elbow. He had missed the entire 1983 but did come back for the final game against the Jets. The Steelers needed a win against the to make the playoffs and the starter that year was Cliff Stoudt who started off okay but slumped badly down the stretch.
Good call. Sloter is a guy both Denver and Minnesota’s fan base fell in love with from his preseason play.
And somewhere today if he hasn't already is Terry Bradshaw on the phone talking to Ben and walking him thru this. I don't think Ben needs to make a hasty decision and I'm not discounting all the money that Pitt handed over to him which does two things...first he can take his time, in fact I think Pitt wanted to make sure he was away rest of the season, both sides can think about what they want to do next couple years.
Or maybe Mason Rudolph works out and the Steelers get the 32nd pick in the 1st round
Looked into this recently. In the early 1970s, we actually had 10 or 11 HOF QBs playing for a period of 5 years, including Blanda, Unitas, Starr, Jurgensen, Dawson, Tarkenton, Namath, Griese, Staubach, Stabler and Bradshaw.
just catching up on this news now, so wasn't sure if anyone traced it back to any particular previous play during the game.
Hell no. Plus we don't have a 3rd next year yet and that second might be a top 40 pick.
Limas was en route to gank him, but dropped his phone down the sewer and didn't have the address anywhere else
I heard a blurb on the radio that Rudolph says Ben's elbow was sore after the NE game. Might have started there and popped it when he tried to throw hard on Sunday.
Yeah, the one time Ben DOESN'T play drama queen with an injury is the one time the Steelers act on him being "OK".
Boy, I sure hope they’re right. If this team takes a crap with Ben’s injury that’s a high price to pay.
