Not gonna happen. Just more drama from the Drama Queen. Now he will have the whole of Steeler Nation begging him to come back.

1. Ben IS building drama. It's what he does.
2. Ben did not have a fantastic AFC title game. He had a classic "do nothing when it counts, then pad your meaningless stats" type of game.

This is just like how he gets sacked or throws an interception...lays on the ground...limps off the field...limps back in a quarter later...then the limp is suddenly gone.
RE: Rapesburger retiring?? - leonardfan40 - 01-24-2017
Yep, just wants the attention.
RE: Rapesburger retiring?? - The Real Deal - 01-24-2017
As everyone else has already said, this is drama. 0% chance he retires. Seems like a pretty good way to get even more calls to go your way next year though. Refs think it could be your last year and then all of the sudden you can do no wrong, ala ray Lewis and Peyton manning. He knows how the NFL works. Keep playing the game, Ben. Keep playing the game..

Kind of reminds me of Hill.
RE: Rapesburger retiring?? - bengalfan74 - 01-24-2017
Exactly, what everybody says is spot on. Drama Queen in action once again.
Just look at me crap. Probably wants the theme to Rocky played when he announces he's coming back.

Or doesn't practice for part of the week with undisclosed injury. But when he comes back to play in a game, he's "such a tough guy." Makes me sick.
RE: Rapesburger retiring?? - reuben.ahmed - 01-24-2017
There's no way. Bell is injury prone...too bad for them.
RE: Rapesburger retiring?? - BengalFanInNJ - 01-24-2017
Agreed. More drama that will be forgotten about in a month or so.
It would be nice though if he retired. All those WR's with nobody to throw it to them.
RE: Rapesburger retiring?? - Big Boss - 01-24-2017
Just an attention ***** attention-whoring. Nothing to see here.

Yeah. Without Ben, the Steelers are decidedly average.
RE: Rapesburger retiring?? - yellowxdiscipline - 01-24-2017
Ben is a drama queen no doubt, but I think he knows his window is closing at 35.
RE: Rapesburger retiring?? - Au165 - 01-24-2017
I'm taking the other side on this one, I think he is considering it. He will be 35 in March and is always hurts. Guys today are starting to retire earlier it seems, especially guys who are hurt often. AB could be on his way out based on all of the locker room issues going on and Bell wants paid top money but is always hurt. Cap will be an issue here soon for them as these skill guys all want paid meaning the band will break up sooner than later. I think he is actually considering it, but I'm not sure he does it. I think it is coming within the next couple years though.

Agreed. He has sustained a lot of major injuries if I was him I would consider it. He kind of struck me as one of the players who would play until the wheels fell off though.
RE: Rapesburger retiring?? - Shake n Blake - 01-24-2017
PFT pointed out that Ben would have to return around $20 million in bonus money if he retired now. Just more proof that Ben is full of crap. I'm more interested in the rumor that the Steelers may trade AB, but I doubt that happens either.

I've been wondering how much blame he's been taking among his team mates for the facebook thing ?
RE: Rapesburger retiring?? - Pat5775 - 01-24-2017
Can't even wait 4 days after the steeler seasons ends without being an attention seeking drama queen. Can't wait until the season starts for the yearly Roethisberger BS?

I was thinking along these lines, but maybe its a threat to the franchise if they do decide to punish Brown. I really dont see them doing shit to Brown but you never know.
