I have no dog in this fight whatsoever. My question to you is, if he's such a second tier quarterback, why do his splits stack up against the most elite quarterbacks in the NFL today? How have the Steelers made it to three Super Bowls (winning two) with a second tier quarterback? They don't make it through the playoffs in 2005 without Roethlisberger (regardless of how he played once they got there), they don't beat Arizona in the Super Bowl without that final drive (unless you don't remember Warner going up and down the field on that Steelers defense in the 2nd half) and they don't even get past Baltimore this past season in the Divional game after their defense put them in a 14 point halftime hole. Sorry Resipsa, I don't know how many examples you need to see of a guy putting a team on his back before you concede that he's asked (and expected) to do much, much more than, "not lose the game." |
There was this one time, when Steelers played the Colts in the AFC Championship, and Ben stopped the winning TD after the Bettis fumble.
That is why there is so much Hater-aid, from Vic.
