If we learned anything yesterday, it’s that Ben Roethlisberger is one of the all-time greats. No matter what happens in Tampa in two weeks, we’ve learned through this Super Bowl run that Roethlisberger makes the Steelers go. Unlike Kurt Warner who does this by having statistically impressive games, Big Ben (I love that nickname, BTW!) just gets it done. Just win, baby!
Big Ben (Did I mention I love that nickname?) had an impressive game yesterday copleting 16 of 33 passes for 255 yards. That’s nearly 50 yards more than he averaged a game during the regular season. (206.3, 17th in the league) Talk about stepping yo game up. He’s one of those selfless players who sacrifices stats for W’s. How many quarterbacks do you know who do that?
And the 255 yards? 65 of them came on a mid-level Hail Mary pass where the defender fell down and he was admittedly trying to throw the ball away. Santonio Holmes is lucky he has a QB that makes him look so good.
Big Ben (I think it’s the cleverfulness that gets me.) should be commended for his awesome performance. Can we begin the HOF debate?
Ha. Did I say debate? He’s taken his team to the Super Bowl, compiled undefeated records, puts up monster stats, etc., and other examples. How do you spell lock?
Someday, the Steelers might get a real defense, then we’ll see what Roethlisberger can really do. If you think leading a team to one offensive touchdown a game is impressive now…
When the Super Bowl kicks off in 13 days, Roethisberger will be up against an amazing defense in the Cardinals. Who else could force Jake Delhomme to turn the ball over 6 times? It should be a show. Big Ben (Never gets old.) will really go off. He might tip the 250 yard mark again. Get ‘cha popcorn ready!
This might be the greatest thing I have ever read.

Are you serious with this???? Ben sucks. His defense totally carries that team!!!!one!!!
/didn’t get it’d
Great work, intern.
Um Nick, it was sarcasm.
/didn’t get it’d, take 2′d
CRM-I just think you like his beard and this definitely needs more Romo.
Findlay, Ohio produces nothing but trash. Double B is no exception.
Make all the fun you want, but I will take “Big Ben” as the QB of my favorite team over just about any other QB. He does not have the flashy stats but he wins games and when a play needs to make it he does. There were also three touchdown passes dropped by Steeler receivers yesterday that would have given him over 300 yards and four touchdown passes. He does not have Boldin, Breaston and Fitzgerald to catch everything thrown his way. Instead he’s stuck with Limas Sweed who drops a wideopen tuouchdown pass that would have sealed the game going into halftime and to top it off he then lays on the ground faking an injury because of his embarrassment and costing the Steelers their final timeout of the half. This is the type of receiving talent that Ben has to throw to.
So mock him all you want, but the guy wins and I will take that over the other QB’s sitting at home that cannot figure out that you don’t throw it the team in the different colored jerseys.
I’ll take a bad quarterback over a good quarterback.
/paraphrasing the last comment
thanks, fetch. I got through the first two sentences and got distracted.
Hicktown, I double-checked with my opinion and it turns out that your love of Ben is mis-guided.
I read that as I will take my above average quarterback over the other team’s above average quarterback but I would sure as hell like the other teams receivers
/Warner sucks
Yeah, Hines Ward, Santiono Holmes and Heath Miller suck. Everyone knows Limas Sweed is the #1 reciever on the squealers.
Dont rush him and see what happens he was clutch under pressure. If you give him all day to throw with good coverage he will fail.
On second thougth, as a Steeler fan, it is my sworn responsibility to say that Ben sucks, and Leftwich should start the superbowl.
Someone needs to get Big Ben some keys to a Kawasaki.
As much snow as we have here in Western Pa, better make it an ATV or a Snow Mobile.
So all QB’s suck besides Aaron Rodgers?
cbh, that is correct according to science. If you have any other evidence that is less scientific, please share.
you just love him cuz of the beard.
So a quarteback who lost one game during his first season sucks. And the youngest quarterback to ever lead a team to a superbowl sucks. And a quarterback that makes it to 2 SB’s in his first 5 years and the AFC championships his rookie year is overrated. It is time for people to admit that even though he looks like shit when he plays, he somehow miraculously gets it done. And he deserves credit for it.
he deserves another chrysler to the forehead and that’s about it.
