Have we finally wised up with Jerome ?

[bigbensgirl7]

Bettis is a tough guy. This will probably be his last year wearing the black and gold...but I have faith that when called upon he will perform like he did today!!! Come on Bettis, keep those wheels turning for just a little longer! We love ya!

Something tells me that with his career practically over he'll find whatever it takes inside himself to be a heavy contributor these last few games and hopefully into the playoffs.

The key to the interview is he said that his painful Mondays were spilling into Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Also this is the first year that he hasn't felt ready to play on a Sunday.

I felt bad for him and see why he's not as good as last year. And he earned even more respect from me.

The way the bus was talking tonite on FSN, he knows we need him and he'll be ready.

It was nice to see the Bus play well and often. Also there was plenty to go around for Willie!

I think its evident today so much that even Cowher has to realize that this team needs Jerome to be the starter and run that bus till the wheels fall off the rest of way !

i surely hope so cause damn that was awesome watching him carry the "best d in the league" on his back all day. i think he or duce should start, beat the d up a little and then send in that boy willie parker to run right past all them tired beat up fools. that's the way it should've been when bettis got healthy earlier in the season

Was nice to see the Bus show everyone he's still got it. Got to love the guy.

[SteelCityMan786]

They have realized we NEED Jerome to help us. Jerome is a Heck Of a RB. I hope at least 1 more year he will be with us. or if not I hope he enjoys retirement.

[Koopa]

i don't think he should come back 1 more year, mainly for his health. and no point in coming back cause his last game is gonna be in detriot celebrating

I've seriously changed my ideas about him staying on another year. This guy's legs are about to give out. I mean, I'd rather loose the Bus and see him every Sunday on NFL Countdown or something than have him another year and only see him twice a year with a cane...

I agree 100%
