Thanks, Dave. Glad to have you aboard. And I agree with you that a loss like the one against Jax should sting awhile. When you lose your last game of the year like that, it should bug you until you have a chance to try again (aka next season) And I will grant you no matter what I think of Ben, I do think he has less growing to do than guys like Romo or Phillip Rivers. A little bit of immaturity is nothing compared to those two clowns.

I’m not quite ready to throw Ben under the bus, especially in comparing him to Neil O’Donnell. I agree he still has some growing up to do, and while I wish he’d done it already, I’m pleased with his growth so far. The comment that got me the most was that he’s over the Jax loss already, becasue "you have to move on". Maybe, if it was week 14 and we had another game coming up to prepare for. But, we don’t. Let the loss burn you some more, and longer. I want losses like that to hurt the Steelers so much that they vow to not let it happen again and use it as motivation for the whole off season. Don’t be complacent. Don’t settle for the one SB ring you got…come on be angry.nice blog by the way…just found it and I’ll be back.
