Year 4 for Big Ben
How do you guys see the season playing out for Ben and the Steelers? Will Santonio and Ward step up for him, and will Ben play like the accident is ancient history?

Well theres so much steeler hate around here so im pretty much alone lol.
He is in great shape ans health right now, he had way to many injuries last year and he shouldnt have played in a few games that we not only end up losing but getting him hurt more in the process. I think he will continue to grow as a QB and will be better than the babied big ben we saw his first 3 years. Alot of people forget this is only his 4th year...QBs usually are just breaking out around this time. I hope hes not back to how he was in 05, he played great in 05 but now im hoping he can handle more of a load and more responsibilities. Bruce arians our new oC is a passing guy, and i hope ben comes out and lights up the sky next year to show something to all the haters.
Willie and Najeh are a good 1-2 to have and i look forward to seeing that. Santonio the bengal slayer is gonna be a badass for us and i promise you that. Im looking forward to seeing heath miller, hes such a beast and hes money....cowher hates throwing to the tight end and thats gonna change, he could have an amazing year. im worried abour out return game, i would love to see willie reid, hes such an animal but hes careless and gets hurt alot....he could easily be one of the best return men in the league. I really like our defense this year, Tomlin will be the best thing to happen to ike taylor and hopefully he will bounce back stronger than ever after cowher sucked the confidence right out of him by benching him. Polamalu and anthony smith is gonna be a beastly duo, smith was nothing short of awesome last year. I also just have a feeling that woodley is gonna break out, maybe even more so than timmons.
i cant wait for this season to start....were coming for you cleveland lol

I saw him playin' Golf in Tahoe. He'll do pretty decent this year I think, he's in great shape and has been for his entire career. He might be like the SB Ben, might not.

Motorcycle crash to the head, won't really make him much better, that really hurt him last year, that's why I think he'll only get back to SB Ben, who knows though, maybe he'll have a wicked explosive year.

no the crash wasnt as bad for him last year it was the apendectomy and the concussion.....hes ok now, in this new offense with a new coach that wont baby him and let him grow he is primed for a breakout year....possible comeback player of the year....maybe

Maybe, the guy was like a superhero last year though, playing like 10 days after the appendectomy, that was crazy man.

but it never shouldve happened lol, we couldve beat that jags with charlie batch, then ben wouldve been healthy for the chargers....but no cowher let him play and we lost both those games. Batch coulve handled the jags who only score NINE points lol, but ben got thrashed in that game and took a step back instead of waiting and being 100%
then he got destroyed in the atlanta game (we were robbed in that game btw) and he played against oakland which never shouldve happend...batch couldve handled them too, but instead we give them 17 total yards and 4 int, 2 for TDs.....lol im gonna stop, im getting full of rage lol
