Game changer  More likely outcome is they'd look to sign a free agent QB as a stop-gap and just wait until next year to draft someone again.  I think Ben will be back though; doubt he stood around on the sideline all year just to retire in the offseason when he's finally healthy again.

PetermansRedemption Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Roethlisberger looked like even if he wanted to play again, he will have to drop about 30 pounds. Sure, it’s possible. But you would think if his intention was to play again he wouldn’t have put himself in that position in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 The Steelers have a good defense and a good O-Line. They are on a similar rebuild path timeline as us if they can find a QB.

That's No Moon Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 UCL is a year injury minimum. Baseball pitchers usually take 2 years to get back to normal after that surgery. At Ben's age that amount of rehab can't sound fun. He has been out most of the season and he isn't close to being back. He's 25% of the way there if he's lucky and doesn't suffer set backs or reinjuries. At this point you rehab on the company dime and keep collecting your fat checks. I think it's extremely unlikely that he is ready to throw in 2020 and I wouldn't be shocked if he doesn't come back in 2021. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
