Whenever you require extensive surgery on your knees it impacts mobility. Ben wasn't the most mobil quarterback but I would say that the Steelers are done before the season even started.
Way to go BEN!

Seeds Of Hate said:OK. Like Terry Bradshaw said, "Ride it when you retire."
Technically, you're right--he's no Michael Vick. But, he was VERY mobile. People pidgeonhole him as a pocket passer without mobility, but the dude could elude a rush, pass on the run and gain yards with his feet.SteelDog said:Ben wasn't the most mobil quarterback

Dback Jon said:Hope he gets better - but I have a hard time giving sympathy for anyone that rides a motorcycle without a helmet.
Russ Smith said:reread the post I was replying too, he made reference to it being a shame if this ended Ben's career. My point is right now the most likely career threatening injuries, are to his knees.
Vince's point is valid, not wearing the helmet threatened his life(hey I won't even ride a motorcycle period, when I was 8 years old a neighbor hit a tree head on and died). I was merely pointing out to that poster that the helmet wouldn't have saved ben from the knee injuries.
I'm here to tell you he's both.SteelDog said:Well Being mobil and being elusive to me are two different things.

In the article there they quote him as saying that he's careful and he rides in groups?
Groups?
I'm sorry but only a young kid would think riding in groups is going to save you from other drivers or from flying into windshields.
True dat.Shane H said:Probably not any longer.
SteelDog said:We will agree to disagree.
Evil Ash said:John Clayton is reporting that the injuries to his knees was relatively minor (he just scraped them evidently)
