I think it's 50/50 on him and the Steelers, they have the ability to keep him from playing but we both know they won't. They're thinking playoffs, not about health or longevity.

They are hanging on by not much in the playoff hunt right now.

Last I heard, they are the 5th seed. It's pretty much certain without Rothlisberger, they'll be sitting at home come Wild Card weekend. With him, they feel they have a shot and that is more important to the Steelers organization and their fans then Ben's life after football, hell it's more important to Ben than his life after football.

Tell you what, put on one of those vests Ben will most likely be wearing this weekend and let somebody beat you with a hammer then tell me how you feel, because that is what's going to happen to Ben. Not much you can do to protect against blunt force trauma and they're fools for thinking they can with the current technology. The force of hits in football can exceed 100 Gs and that's not a 10 or 20 pound hammer, it's a 200 or 300 pound human missile.

It is amazing to me, the hits players can take and still get up and to play the next down. I'm sure Ben understands the risk, but is it really worth it just to win games is what you are saying then.

But the real question I guess is, would the Steelers fans tolerate what amounts to conceding this season so they have many more chances in the future? Would the organization? The team is not getting any younger, especially on defense Ben's window is closing and everyone can see it.

Yes, is it worth for this year? Not just for Ben but the Steelers organization as a whole? Do you risk potential long term career ending damage to salvage the short term? Franchise QBs don't grow on trees.

It certainly is a reason to keep an eye on that game, especially if Ben starts.

I would think its a pretty good bet that the Ravens win that game, which will help the Colts out.
