Don't let presenticism color your view of history.

Big Ben started right away because of injuries. And I am basing my point on his 15 year career as a run first guy with a qb who manages games. The idea that cowher is a qb guy is tough to prove. Big Ben being drafted and being forced to start fell into his lap. Will he do that again? And will he change a philosophy that loves to run the ball. Who knows. It isn't a slam dunk. You don't think there isn't a similar scenario where cow her brings in a bettis like back and brings in Alex smith or Sanchez? That is much more consistent with his style.
