Ben makes little to no sense for us. He is rapidly declining, he don't have a line currently that could protect him adequately and his cost doesn't make any sense whatsoever for a 1-2 year deal outside of a veteran minimum contract.

At that rate, why wouldn't he just sign cheaply somewhere that could actually bring him a title?

I’m not out here pining for Big Ben but if he is willing to buy in what we got going on. I’d pay him good money for a year or 2 but for the sake of the argument I agree it doesn’t make a lot sense for him ... but hard to say no to a SB who produced last year with 4th 5th stringers..

He isn't the future of our team, he isn't going to be here for the future. There is no sense in having an aging "bridge" QB in our current situation. 

Not to mention it doesn't make any logical sense for him as a player. He has played his entire career with the Steelers. Were he to leave, I imagine he is going somewhere to chase a title next season. That isn't us.

Agreed it is kinda Of pointless .. still would love him if he is emotionally available for a 1 or 2 .. but like you said they ain’t no reason for him to come at all. Oh well

Funny...a few years ago he created some drama by hinting he might retire.  Now he is begging for another year and may not get it.  LOL.

He wants that last 30-40 mill check!! He looked completely shot to me and I remember him showing up to TC KB fat seven years ago. He should retire like his fav center just did, Drew Brees looked better imo.

Ageeed he would be down the priority list .. but to outright say no when your current QB is teddy bridgewater is like a homeless man scuffing at someone trying to give a tiny home 

It's more like saying no to a tiny home with a leaky roof, broken windows, broken heat, inoperative plumbing, and precariously perched on a hillside that is sliding.  Sleeping under the bridge sounds pretty good.

Ben has already hung on a year or so too long.  We would be talking about bring in a broken down QB based on what he did years ago, and putting him behind an OL that could barely protect TB for 2.5 seconds a drop back.  What could possibly go wrong?

And not for nothing, but welcome to the board. 

Given the fact that your posts on this thread have been rational, I assume you are new!


thank you for that comment 

 

Ironically I’ve been a member for several years .. but years of creeping on the board. And built up tension for craving panther talk .. but the best of all I see the panthers making major grow in all departments football related ..I do believe we have a motivative and very smart owner. And the culture he is building is only going to get better and better

      Give Legette another season?

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
