NFL will not take action until after the NFL draft, so Rams or Buffalo will have to deal with a 2-4 game suspension, but one of those teams will trade their #1 and then some for Roethlisberger.

Werd.

If the Steelers did trade him...they wouldn't get even close to his worth right now. A team taking him on would also be taking on the risk that more poo could be coming out on him....which could impact his ability to play.

2-4 games isn't enough in my opinion...but the league really is a bunch of pussies when it comes to dealing with it's criminals!

of course, I know, he hasn't been convicted of anything, and in true celebrity fashion, probably never will be!

Florio thinks he'll get eight games or more, and it could be a combo of suspensions by the team and the league.

it will be interesting to see how it all plays out....sounds an awful lot like he is a repeat offender and so often when that is the case, more and more women who originally weren't going to, will start stepping forward...the whole, strength in numbers theory.

Four women, so far.

In all likelihood, there will be a s--tstorm from the Al Sharpton/Jesse Jackson crowd if he's not punished on a par with guys like Vick and Pac Man. And this is one of the few times when I can say I'd actually agree with them. And who knows how the feminist groups would weigh in...

Not even the Raiders are stupid and amoral enough to give a first-rounder up for a rapist, no matter how good he is.

Whichever team he's traded to for whatever compensation instantly becomes one of my most hated teams. And if he were to be traded here, I would be handing in my Panther Fan card and I'm sure not alone.

Werd.

Giving a #1 for Ben at this time is pretty much the dumbest thing ever.

He wasn't even charged, meaning he has already gotten away or was not guilty of the crimes he was accused of, so I don't see how the NFL could give him more than a couple games. They're going to review the facts and definately do something, but not enough to scare away a team that needs a great QB.

The Steelers are cutting bait, because they are not going to stand behind someone of his character. Rothlisberger is worth a #1 and then some. He's won 2 superbowls and he is young. I see the Rams or Buffalo pulling the trigger.

The draft is here and the statements made were pretty telling. The Steelers and the NFL will wait until after the draft to do anything with Rothlisberger, leaving me to believe he will be traded.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      By bythenbrs · Posted

      In another post, Snow says about three years before you can properly grade a rookie class.  Sounds about right…

      And this reiterates why I don’t want a Young contract extension. Please let us find another QB.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      By TD alt · Posted

      Oh, the high expectations after a draft. Keep your expectations low, people. Darin Gantt's latest "Ask The Old Guy" gives life to one of those lessons about pro football reality as a fan: "Rasheed Walker was a three-year starter at left tackle for the Packers, so Freeling is going to have to work. Hunter's got another big 'un in front of him in Bobby Brown III and a different kind of defensive tackle in Tershawn Wharton. Chris Brazzell II's got a lot of traffic at his position. Zakee Wheatley has to be better than the chronically underappreciated Nick Scott, and Sam Hecht is a fifth-round rookie at the hardest position on the line to play, who probably doesn't have immediate positional flexibility, and a solid free agent addition in Luke Fortner in front of him. "Fans generally love their draft class as soon as it arrives, because there is no evidence to the contrary yet. Once guys get on the field, the reality begins to creep in, and the seasoned among you remember that if you get three or four good players out of a draft, that was an amazing draft." https://www.panthers.com/news/ask-the-old-guy-things-looking-up-after-the-draft-monroe-freeling-luke-kuechly-bryce-young-derrick-brown Don't get crazy. Winning the draft (or the offseason BTW) on paper always leads to good feelings and great expectations, especially when you seemingly succeeded the season before, but let's remember that the Panthers are very much a work in progress. Team building takes time. If we get a couple of starters out of the draft, it's a good draft, but three or four would be an amazing draft, and anything more than that is actually sensational--even if entails a few multiple high end rotational players along with three starters. Moreover, kind of within that same vein, the coaches have to let the kids off the chain. Remember the coach-speak of past coaches about competition that is anything but because coaches have their notions about veteran experience? Not saying that they're necessarily wrong, but sometimes I think their reluctance to put the young guys out there is based somewhat in dogma or possibly fear because big stakes are on the line (e.g., their jobs). It can be frustrating to say the least, but the coaches are supposed to know best. Again, I say all of this so that we can remember to temper expectations and keep them within the realm of reality. It's like telling your mind to think of it as something akin to under-promising and over-delivering. Leave room to be pleasantly surprised for the best case scenario, but be cognizant that that rarely happens. I would think at this point, most of us should be able to recognize growth when we see it, and sometimes that growth doesn't manifest itself in the form of immediate supremacy, but a setting of the stage for long term dominance for years to come. It seems like we're on track for an emergence by 2028 or 2029. We still have huge questions, but by 2029, hopefully we will take our seat at the table of the perennial contenders in the NFL.
