Steelers just activated Murphy to take the QB2 spot in tomorrows game. Word is Ben is not that mobile, and having trouble moving laterally.
My question is this... Should the Steelers start Big Ben in week 8 regardless of his health?
As fans, we all think Ben should be there because, honestly, both Bengal fans and Steeler fans know the only way Pittsburgh beats Cincinnati this year is with Ben.
Now, the Steelers have a pretty decent record, and a good shot at the wildcard, is it worth risking the future health of Big Ben to get a win over Cincinnati? Sure, they want to win the division and homefield advantage is great, but the risk of injuring Ben for the remainder of the season seems like a reason to not let him play on November 1st.
Is one win against the Bengals worth the chance of injuring Ben for longer?
Immobile Ben has done plenty of damage before, but if he can't move in the pocket, it will be a long day.
We will just have to wait and see how his rehabbing is going next week. If he can't move that well though, do they start him, and is it worth it?
