    He's a HOFer, but damn he's got that checkered off-field history.

    Glad he's made the decision early in the "offseason" as we all know he wouldn't be getting a starter role for a team, so he's at least made the decision and not made it in August when he's rejected 31 times.

    Ben was one of the most entertaining college football quarterbacks I ever saw. The arm talent was always there. He could run pretty well when he was young and he was an All-American punter as well so his games at Miami University were pretty exciting, you never knew what he was going to do. Bill Cowher made a great pick there.

    I'd say he's a definite HOFer.

    No question in my mind that he was quite accomplished on the field. Surely a HOFamer. Off the field based on how he was portrayed in the media leaves a lot to be desired.
