I have to chuckle a bit, though, because I remember when Bengal fans used to argue against Ben's legitimacy as a great QB (especially when compared to the almighty Carson). Now, they're trying to get us to lament over how disastrous his retirement would be. 
I remember when Joe from Florence would post Bens and Palmers stats every week--until the numbers went the wrong way.

Overall, no.
That's why when someone says "in 2005..." you can't come back with "time has proven us Steelers fans right." On another good team, Carson could have been a HOFer.
Well, I agree Carson was better in 2005. Classic passer.
But I have to say, Ben did very well as a rookie. Once he stepped in for Maddox, every Steeler fan could see he gave us a better chance to win. He was, indeed, clutch. And he only got better.

I would have given you a better chance to win.
You can go to live in France, but you cannot become a Frenchman. You can go to live in Germany or Turkey or Japan, but you cannot become a German, a Turk, or a Japanese. But anyone, from any corner of the Earth, can come to live in America and become an American

Perhaps you missed your shot, then. Wait, how old are you? I'm sure Ben won't go more than 3-4 years.

I'm 49 and the only time I ever touched the football was if I recovered a fumble, so my window may be closed.

LOL, I'd say so.
