Its the toughest position on the field and the hardest position to find a franchise player. All things considered I think the Steelers paid what the needed to pay to keep their QB.

One thing I am sure the Steelers would never do is spend $100 million on a D lineman.

Don't put him in the HOF just yet. Jim Plunkett was a pretty mediocre QB who won two SBs, and he's probably never getting in.

If Ben retires with like 6-7 pro bowls and 2+ SBs, then he's a lock. If the Steelers suffer a many-year losing streak and end up cutting Ben lose before the deal is done, then it will hard for him to pick up HOF votes.
