Reporters basically saying "I've been told" AB wouldn't go there. Just wondered if there was any report from AB/ his agent to verify.

He either takes his trade or retires. Not saying his unwillingness didn't equate to Beane's decision that the deal didn't make sense for them, just wondered if there's a report from his agent that verified that.

Stank_Nasty Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) 49 minutes ago, MAJBobby said: Nah I have always hated the Steelers line in Recent Years. Ben gets Killed behind it this couldn't be more false.... ben has been sacked a grand total of 45 times over the last 2 seasons. 27 other qb's were sacked more than him in 17 and 25 other qb's were sacked more than him this last year. not to mention they have basically plugged any back they want into the lineup and gotten production. I live in "stiller" country. I can assure you all their fans agree it is one of their strongest assets. its the main reason his career has been prolonged after the absolute beating he took early on in his career.... your statement is horribly off base.

Reporting fake news does not = I told them hell no Sorry, man, it happens. The Steelers were paying AB a crap ton of money and that didn’t stop him from bailing on the last game of the season with playoffs on the line. It didn’t stop him from trashing his QB either. No team wants to give up substantial draft capital and invest big time money into a player unless they can expect effort and reasonably good behavior. IMO the Bills did the right thing bailing on the deal upon hearing AB didn’t want to come here. But they did the wrong thing by even investigating bringing a spoiled brat like him onto this team. Other than being a phenomenal player in the field (when he chooses to actually play) he’s exactly the opposite of what this regime has said they were about.

TigerJ Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Age and injury issues push him down the list. If Buffalo can't swing a deal for a better guy (Trent Brown, Jawuan James, Daryl Williams) then the Bills can keep him in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately, we don't have to speculate on this, since NextGenStats keeps track of everything you two are discussing. First, no, Ben does not hold the ball long: https://nextgenstats.nfl.com/stats/passing#average-time-to-throw ^ Tied for the fastest average snap-to-release time in football last year Second, no, teams aren't backing away from the run against Pittsburgh, as James Conner faced 8+ in the box on almost 28% of his carries, which ranked 11th out of all qualifying backs in 2018: https://nextgenstats.nfl.com/stats/rushing#percent-eight-defenders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
