I guarantee you any conversation to offer ARE anything near Redskin money wouldn't have lasted 5 minutes in Rooney's office, unless they needed more time to stop laughing.

first, i don't think that roethlisberger is really the problem in Pitts. the offensive line is. they are not running the football with any consistency, and alot of games big Ben is running for his life. sure, i think he can play better, but last year he only threw the ball about 15-20 times a game. and the point about the Rooney's and money is a joke. the never pay anyone( except for Staley) and we see how that worked out. our receivers are as good as any in the league. but if you don't get the ball thrown your way, no one knows. and welcome to the board
