“Missing you Ben. The QBs have got to prove a lot to this 47 year Steeler fan. Nice start tonight of doing that. Franchise QBs like You and Terry are hard to replace. Continue to enjoy retirement and your family. God bless and GoSteelers. — Mike Williams.
Love and miss you @_BigBen7 – obviously will always root for the team, but I'll always miss you. My favorite qb.

It’s another Throwback Thursday
Big Ben – back in the day

This is a Findlay High School picture we took. I was the Army High School Recruiter at the time. Ben (wearing #7, of course) had the opportunity to drive that HUMMER around the field…until Coach Hite came out and raised H***!! Lol! — Ed Treft.

Ben on DVE this morning
Ben was a guest during the DVE Morning Show with Randy Baumann, and used part of his call-in interview to clarify his comments to Ron Cook during that interview from July 22nd.
On Cam Heyward’s recent comments on his podcast:
Cam is right; I probably should have been more detailed and specific in what I said. I maybe should have clarified that more, that’s my bad. I was asked what the difference in the league is now from when I first got in, even when Cam first got in, the mentality of the players, the toughness. Cam is entitled to be upset, but he and I have had conversations. I know he knows what I’m talking about. It’s not like it’s new to Cam. The majority of guys on that team are very team-first guys. I get Cam supporting his teammates. I wasn’t trying to bash anybody specifically. I was making a broadstroke judgement.
One of the biggest differences in the game [now] is the toughness…There are no more two-a-days. They are trying to make the game safer, I get it. I think it’s smart. I just think the difference is from when I first came in until now is you see guys spending much more time in the training room. Where guys would tape it up and go, guys still do that to a certain extent, but it’s differences in the game.
More from his Q&A with the Morning Show:
On JuJu Smith-Schuster –
I love that guy! Great teammate, a guy who would do anything for his team, anything for the city, the Steelers. He played through so much injury, so much pain. I loved him. I know there are people who don’t know what to think and don’t like the other stuff he did, but when it came to the team. Yes, he did stuff off the field, but when it came time for football it did not get in the way. He gave every single ounce of his body, his heart and his soul to us, so I never, ever had a problem with JuJu – ever.
On Najee Harris –
Naj is a good football player and he’s going to get better, and he’s going to probably carry the load this year. He’s capable of doing that. He’s a really, really good football player. I see him, I don’t wanna […]
