Quote:Yeah lets trade a clutch 2-time winning superbowl winner because "his value is beginning to decline".... It's [BLEEP]...

 

The guy can play, he hasn't shown signs of getting worse.  The steelers need to improve their entire team.. QB is an area of strength.  Trading away your most important player who has proven he can win it all should get you fired instantly.  It's not like the guy is 38 years old.

 

The ONLY way this would make even a little bit of sense is if you already have a younger, cheaper QB on your roster who has shown that he can be your franchise QB.  The Steelers don't have that.  No way will they do it or should they do it.

 

 

He has shown signs of decline this past year. Slight, but still.....

 

As for the 38 years old comment, as mentioned before, not all QB even play to that age, McNabb was done (for all intents and purposes) by 35. As was Brunell. 

 

You are one of these people that like to sit on their assets until they widdle away to nothing, rather than cashing in for some return value while you still can. 

 

While Ben is still a good QB, theres a real good chance his best days are behind him. 

 

He's not Manning. Few are. So lets not pretend that every QB is going to play at his level into their upper 30's.
