Yes. Or do we need you to tell us when it might be appropriate to be excited?

You have a point. On the other hand, some people can get rather silly at times.

Right, Garrett's value is not only sacks. There are always things that opponents can do to avoid sacks. But limiting what opponents do can be significant too.

After the game really hoping for the opportunity to say he shoulda retired when he had the chance :evil:

It is an interesting decision for Roethlisberger. He's only just turned 35. It's not like he's even that old given how many quarterbacks are comfortable in the 38/40 range.
One would assume he, of all people, would want to play on. Tom Brady only has a year or two left, and that's going to open up the AFC given what a tremendous pain in the ass Brady has been for any other QB to outplay in a championship. I absolutely think Tom Brady will retire at the end of the year if New England wins the Superbowl again. The 6th round pick was a 6th ring, and New England have done all in their power to put the team in win-now mode.
Meanwhile, Pittsburgh still has an excellent team. They're amongst the best drafting teams in the NFL. They're due to lose a lot of key players, but they've also added an abundance of young talent.
While the Browns are certainly an ascending team, I see the opposite for Kentucky and Baltiless. They're aging, haven't exactly been great with drafting, and both their quarterbacks, in my eyes, are vulnerable without a team around them.
It's an odd one. Ben does seem genuine in his view that the end is in sight, but he's in a great position with that team and some of the competitors for the title also reaching the end of their career. Perhaps the findings of the concussion reports have him questioning if he should get out while he's still in relatively good shape.

His lineman size has allowed him the questionable luxury of taking many hits to get the throws off. I don't think he is in as good shape as you think.
Go Browns!

You're right, I'm not his doctor and I have no idea what he's feeling or how he's feeling. Just seems that without an obvious serious injury, and a very real shot for the Steelers to contend over the next few years, it seems an odd decision. All those hits may have certainly added up, though.

I would tend to agree with you but your very mention of the Steelers' drafting prowess made me recall this article which, despite its lack of details / depth, nonetheless garnered a furrowed brow and a skeptical "hm" when I read it

Artie Burns, that linebacker from 2 years ago . . . I don't think their recent first rounders have been home runs, come to think of it.

The winds of shit are in the air.
I think Burns kind of sucks but ryan shazier is a pretty good player.
The thing about Pittsburgh is like Seattle they tend to hit big on mid to later round picks. They also don't give up on their players and coach the shit out of them. It helps when the coaches don't rotate every 2.5 years.
They don't have a great history picking great QB's Outside of Big Ben they don't have this great legacy. They are in a world of hurt when Ben is done.:heh:

I would remind you they won a lot of games with Maddox and Stewart. They also one games with Batch.

And it may not be physical decline. He may just say I've had enough of defenses trying to take me out and I'm tired of it. Sayonara mother fuckers. :wave:

As long as he fucks off, I'm happy. I'm just glad he's going to be around long enough for Myles Garrett and Emmanuel Ogbah to rip his fucking head off. :snoop:

And that should, hopefully, be a welcome change.
