QB Sam Bradford wants a trade, the Steelers are just what he needs

This writer made himself look like an idiot. Not a chance this comes to fruition. Steelers aren't interested in any way, shape or form (or at least I should say they shouldn't be). Nor would Bradford be interested. He wants to be a starter and treated like one. If he came to Pittsburgh he would have to wait 4 years or so before ever being considered for the starting position. And at that point he would be 32-33 years of age. He's a middle of the pack QB with a low ceiling and an awful injury history. Colbert would have to be drinkin some of @Psych-Ward's shine to think this was a good idea.

I expect Ben to be here more than 4 years (unless he wants to retire because he's looking at life in a wheelchair), and even an old Ben will be better than a young Bradford.

I sure hope so. I think realistically we have at least 4 more years of high-level play before we see a decline. All depends on his health though.

I don't want to waste time after Ben with some never-was either. When Ben goes down for the count, we find our next blue-chip Franchise player.

I agree. Main reason to maintain a solid QB2 is to cushion the blow of losing #1, both interim & long-term. But IMO it should never impact the decision-making in finding the long-term answer in the draft. Whether that means tanking to 6-10 (in '03) or worse, or going 8-8 (in '13) and still having a shot at drafting someone like Teddy Bridgwater or Derek Carr.

QB2 only to not let the season go down the drain for an injury. Once Ben is done, I expect them to tank a season with a nobody, so they are in position to get the appropriate replacement.

You just can't rely on enough teams being stupid enough to let a Rodgers drop again.

I see the logic in it, but I don't think Tomlin could put aside his pride to do it.
