He said if he decides that he wants to come back... I hope he does. One more year...

That's fine. Reduce the hit to 20 million dollars and he can play. But that's the problem they backlogged the contract so he puts his body out there for free. Not gonna happen.

Ben had great career here hell hire a real OC like Adam gase and let him go another year but veterans scale I could live with that. But We have given up too much to have paid Ben what we have. It’s a fact the era of the 100m qb is over. Take our talent on offense put claypool in Jerry rice, Terrell Owens flanker spot, sign a niffy qb that can run the RPO offense, like the old dominion qb that played for redskins last nite and you’d have a really solid but cheap offense, that would take you further that the randy-Ben **** show. Sorry but true. Randy fuking ficktner does not belong running any offense not to say the offense for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Been saying it for so long I’m done saying it, they don’t fire randy I’m going to find something else to do until they do. Can’t take another **** show season like that we witnessed this year. Pittsburgh has become a real turdtopia with randy running the show.
Ben can still play well he just can't carry the entire O, the oline sucks, the running game sucks, oc scheme sucks. If they can't get better in those areas then it'll be much of the same

I would love Ben to play one more year. But the problem will be that it will cost two seasons for him to play one. They will have to push his contract down the road and eat more cap space in the rebuild.

Half the defense was a HS team by half. For ***** sake we had to play Pierre. We had Marshmallow playing OLB no Hilton, Highsmith, Bud, Haden, Bush. Only so many losses you can take on defense and then turn it over 5 times.
Sorry but you lost me at hiring Gase.
It can be done. Problem is I am not sure we have the coaches that is needed if he returns.

Good. The last thing I want to hear from Stains fans is that the browns made Ben cry and retire from the game.
Not so good,, I think I'd rather see Ben go. This team isn't going anywhere next year. The sooner we find Bens replacement the better.

Oh it can be done for sure. By adding years to the contract and pushing money down the road. But you will be significantly worse in terms of a supporting cast next year and you still have Tomlin coaching. Take the pill, clean the house and start over with a better coach.
Personally I could give two ***** about what any browns fan says or even thinks.
You don't live in Cleveland.
Here’s a good read on looking ahead to Ben’s contract. https://Invalid Link - Check SN Home Page/2020/08/looking-ahead-at-2021-ben-roethlisberger-contract-cap-cutting-scenarios/

It is a good read. And accurate. Comes down to taking medicine next year to be mediocre by kicking salary cap down the road or taking the medicine now. I'm for that.
I wonder if Mason would have received all this love had he replicated Bens performance last night.
I know, Ben has done a lot of great things for this franchise and his career is nearing the end.

Trick question... Mason wouldn’t have led those drives to get the team back in. So there would have been no replication.

Why the **** would he come back to this ******* team and this ******* coach?
THANKS BEN for everything that you went through to even play this year. I appreciate it, and I'm sure many others do to. If this was your last game, I wish you luck in whatever is next. If not, good luck next year.
Thank you Ben. Please enjoy your retirement.
Ben did make some mistakes in the 1st half. Pouncey made the biggest. Ben had 1 or 2 of his int's tipped at the line. That was common this year. The Browns got lucky to be in the right place when they were tipped. That doesn't always happen. Our O line is supposed to keep the D line from being able to jump to bat balls but they couldn't do it all year. That is part on them and part on throwing so many short passes. That is the bad.
The good is Ben looks phenomenal when he is unleashed. The back part of the the 1st half and the 2nd half, our O was unstoppable (unless Tomlin wouldn't go for it on 4th and 8 from their 38 or on a 4th and 1). That is the Ben we need more often and that comes from the game plan. The dink and dunk is OK but they need to let him throw those deeper balls. He has proven that he still has the arm to make the throws. When we were starting slow for half the season, why not start the game in the no huddle for a few series and let er rip? See what happens. Try to score first and often. Play to ******* win. Play to your STRENGTH!
Anyhow, we don't know what Ben and Pouncey will do next year. If Ben doesn't come back, THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! For being the best QB this team has ever had and I saw Bradshaw play. If he doesn't come back, good luck to Ben! And, good luck to the Steelers and we the fans.It could be a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong road until we are a true competitor again like it was when Bradshaw retired. It might take Tomlin being gone to make it happen.

Hate to break it to you but we’ve been in dark times since the 2011 season. Literally a decade of dark times.
When Ben retires we’ll have to suck it up without a QB for a year and draft one after the painful season we have. Hopefully that will be 2021 because we have to turn over the roster and be in cap hell anyway so we might as well accelerate this process
