pBills Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 He could be a good problem to have. Hell we haven't had a QB half as good as Ben for 10 years. And with the possiblity of getting after 4 games, not bad. Only have to hope and pray that we at least do well against the AFC East during that time.

scribo Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Uh, who would the Steelers be looking to take with that top-10 pick? If it is Clausen, I really hope this does not happen. They do not have a replacement waiting in the wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggsinatruck Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 was watching SC just now (so sorry no link) but he said that a top ten pick very well could get the deal done. AND that 1 team has already been talking to them who has a top 10. (Bills?) If we could land him for #9, do you do it? I say so 100%, everytime. Remember innocent until proven guilty folks. Not sayin he IS innocent, but he hasnt been charged in reality. and is technically an innocent man. We can see what Brohm has for the first few games, get our LT in rd2 and NT in rd3...Even if he did do it, i think this will be a wake up call for him, and hopefully will keep his nose clean. why give that pick up for a 28 year old alleged rapist when we could draft the next Jim Kelly? Jimbo Clausen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pBills Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I want to win. I know hes a scumbag and in NO WAY implied he is innocent. But, I think for a 1st round pick, hes well worth it. Do I want him dating my sister? No way. Do I want him under center for the bills? Hell yeah. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stussy109 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Keep in mind the Bills highly coveted Ben the yr he was drafted but could not find any partners who wanted to trade spots with the Bills. I'll take Hippo face any day for our 1st rd pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, we should note the guys making the calls for the Bills then are not the guys making the calls now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dog14787 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I'm not sold on him being a QB that takes a team on his shoulders. He won Superbowls on very good teams. It doesn't seem worth it. As far as taking a team on his shoulders and carrying them to the Superbowl, I am sold. The one QB/ argument that always comes up when we debate the importance of O-line vs QB that I always have a hard time working around is Big Ben because with him you can still make the playoffs/Superbowl with a sub par O-line. I'm another person who would practically sell his soul for a Championship, but not at the expense of alienating half the Bills fan base. Its just not worth it. Send him to the Raiders, he deserves it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrags Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Also consider that Russ Brandon is a marketing genius; he's not going to sign guys like Ben R. and alienate half his fan base. What would it do to the other half of the fan base? How would it do to the die hards that dont care about anything other than football? If they get Big Ben (which Im not a fan of) they will sell just as many season tickets as they did last year (and that was 2nd or 3rd most in history of the franchise) and that is a fact. Ill bet you lunch on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glass To The Arson Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 He might be suspended for 4 games but people... he won the SB 2 times! I'd take him for a first round pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gobillsinytown Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I'm listening to ESPN radio now. There seems to be some confusion as to what the Steelers would want in return. Some are saying ONE top ten pick, others are saying TWO first round draft picks. Top ten this year, PLUS next year's. So if that's true, that is a pretty big asking price. Personally I think it's all chatter. I really doubt they're going to trade their franchise QB. They might if there were actual charges filed, but otherwise I can't imagine they would do it.

K-Gun10 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Well im putting my money on this bieng oakland that does the trade, they will play Jamarcus for four games and then settle him as a backup, iyts perfect Al Davis, the only question i have is who do the Steelers take in the first now?

Well, it is now being widely reported that the Steelers are being very active in looking for a trade partner. The worst thing that could happen to the Steelers now is if no one wants Rottenburger. As I have to image he's going to be unhappy with the franchise now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worried it will be Clausen. The Steelers are going to need new franchise QB. But will they really be willing to hand the reins over to a rookie? They've got Leftwhich now, and he could be their guy for the year, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian Bills Fan Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 We can stop talking about this now. Regardless of what picks we would have to give up for Ben, there is no way Ralph would pick up his salary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
