Let's just use Joe Burrow for example. For all the LSU Homers. And because he turned out to be awesome. Do you honestly think if we had Burrow he would have quit?

He did not retire or "step away". HE QUIT. Let that burn in. He not only quit but he GAVE UP!

It may feel like that, but in reality he gave it his all. We got one SB, shoulda been more. 16 hours + days for 16 years takes its toll. Those of us working jobs that work similar long ass hours can empathize. Let him rejoice in his well deserved time off. We as fans can be selfish, but we're people too . It's probably time for new blood anyway. Steelers do it all the time .
