as a Steelers fan, it kinda sucks. Big Ben is a player for sure. however, the Pittsburgh Steelers hold their players in a higher standard than any other NFL franchise. this truth is self-evident in letting a SB MVP in Santonio Holmes go for a 5th round pick and possibly trading their franchised QB.
the good thing about being a Steelers fan is, yeah, they might have a down year this year. but we are assured in the fact that we will have a good team that will compete for the SB year in and year out; because the suits make the right decisions (IE: mostly the draft).
good luck to ya, Big Ben
