    No, I don't think so. Rudolph is still a rookie that hasn't seen any NFL reps and likely still has some mechanics issues that can be improved. Does anybody really think this team can win the SB right now? So they sure aren't going to win it with a backup who's best asset is his running ability and a Rookie that hasn't seen anything more than 4 preseason games. I still am optimistic that Rudolph will emerge from next summer training camp as the backup QB.

    Ben is a very, very good QB.... probably #4 right now, after Brady, Brees and Rodgers. Personally, I would take him over the other 3. He's big. He's accurate, He's a tough as nails, old school FOOTBALL PLAYER.

    I think Steelers fans EXPECT too much from their team and players because of past success. The NFL is full of very good players. It also has other good teams other than the Steelers. I understand the expectations ( I'm a 51 years Raiders fan.... I remember how good they were). There isn't much that separates Superbowl winners from non winners.

    Look at it this way........ you have a competitive team almost every year. There are other franchises that aren't competitive most years, let alone every year. You are fans of a special team... enjoy it! It won't last for ever!..... nothing does.
    You are so right, we are a spoiled bunch.
    What I don’t get is this, if you believe Ben may be the fourth best QB in the game today, why would you take him over the three you rank ahead of him?

    I would take him over the other 3 because he is a more complete player, IMO. Rodgers is probably the most gifted/skilled QB playing right now. That is again just my opinion. Brady plays well in the system he's in. Brees would do well anywhere with protection.

    Ben can do what the others can't, IMO. He can extend plays and make something out of nothing. He can take a hit and get up and do it again. He can throw the ball down field accurately most of the time............ I just feel he's more of an old school, tough football player, which appeals to me. He reminds a lot of Stabler.... just bigger.
