Yes. They need a Charlie Batch type, Byron Leftwich type, Tommy Maddox type that has a football head and can help Ben. Dobbs and Rudolph can’t help him on the sideline the way the others listed can.

AB agrees with you.
Ben is already starting to decline, he led the league in INTs last year and cost some games with his carelessness. By 2020, he'll be a shell of his former self. I rather the Steelers move on from him a year or 2 too soon than hold on to him for too long and still play him when he is clearly way past his prime just because of past success

He was 3rd in the league in QBR. A comprehensive stat that measures every aspect of a qb's play. And yes he led the league in interceptions. But he also led the league in attempts , completions, and yards.His interception rate of 2.4 was identical to Phil Rivers and only slightly higher than Andrew Luck. Only .02 above league average.
His game hasn't declined. Only the defense he's playing with has. And the loyalty and football intellect of the fans that follow the team.

Brilliant!!
This is crazy talk. The Steelers are a .500 team without Ben. He's still excellent, and in case you missed it, lead the NFL in passing yardage last year.
As for Rudolph, I am not impressed with his arm or ball security. He'll need to improve both. Playing quarterback can be tough on rookies. We'll see how much he has improved this camp.

Probably significantly worse than that since they went 9-6-1 with Ben having a very good season.
That had a lot to do with Tomlin's poor coaching, Chris Boswell losing all confidence, and a defense that had difficulty producing turnovers.
The Steelers suffered an epic collapse at the end of the season. Only three teams in the history of the modern NFL started out 7-2-1 or better and did NOT make the playoffs, and the other two had significant injuries and lost their quarterback.
Quit making sense...Ben sucks, end of story.

That’s a short reflection.
