Week 6: Jacksonville Jaguars (1-4) vs Pittsburgh Steelers (3-2)

[deathsai]

Ben is one of the most overrated quarterbacks in the league. He holds onto the ball so long, what more do you want the o-line to do for the highly touted "mobile" QB? Did you see how long he had and still tried to force it to Mike Wallace on the sideline? And getting eaten by the CFL stud, Chick...

Disagree, but you are more entitled to your opinion even if it's wrong. IMO, Ben is a top 10 QB (in the 7-10 range though). He's made many plays by holding onto the ball longer than some and he's been beaten holding onto the ball longer the most. It's a double-edged sword with him, but I'd rather have him hold onto the ball and see him make plays than go down immediately.

If you don't think the Steelers OLINE is one of the worst in the league, then you don't know football. It's a terrible OLINE. Many of the offensive problems can be directly related to that poor OLINE (and oft injured OLINE...there are a bunch of 2nd/3rd stringers out there). They just aren't good.

Say what you will, but if Ben holding onto the ball so long is the problem, why does the run game stink (outside of today?). It's the OLINE...

As I type this, the OLINE gives up a 3rd down sack because they got beat. Designed play where Ben rolled to his right to gain time and the OLINE still got beat.

Once again, it wasn't like Ben was getting hit or totally flushed out as soon as the pass rush got sent. Steelers don't have a good o-line, as a Jags fan I know plenty about poor offensive line play. But a lot can be attributed to him not throwing the ball. He acts like he never has a hot route.

WOW, your football IQ is a joke. I guess the fact that our O-Line is completely destroyed by injuries has nothing to do with Ben having no time in the pocket.

What is it going to take to get Arians fired? Calls a pass on 3 and 2 trying to kill the clock, classic.

When Ben still has time then it is still his fault. That is what hot routes are for, especially in the short-yardage situations. Steelers homers try to convince people he's as good as Aaron Rodgers, who also has had no o-line.
