He played well, the entire game. Wasn't the pick a deflected pass? Anyway, I'm not going to argue it. You think he played poorly. Fine. Think that. But Roethlisberger did what he always does. Competed hard, kept his team in the game, and gave them a chance to win in the end. As usual, in the biggest moments he sacked up and got it done. A typical performance for a high-level QB. Just another Sunday. |

If you say so. The numbers say otherwise.
He was a relative non-factor prior to the last drive of the game. Quote:
There were probably 20 QB's better than Roethlisberger this season. You're making him out to be Johnny Unitas. He's not...

OMG.
I'm sure he wasn't the only player in the game playing through an injury. And King, himself, said he was unaffected by the injury. Gimme a break.

I'd rather have a guy like Manning, Brady, and Warner, who can lead game winning drives AS WELL AS put up CONSISTENT production the ENTIRE game.
THAT'S the definition of a franchise QB. |

In the end, without a 100 yard int return for a TD the Cards would be SB champs.
Fact is the defense played all season at a high level. Not just crunch time. Without the defense playing the way they did all year we would be talking about how Ben hangs on to the ball too long and takes too many sacks. |

No, that's the definition of a hall of fame QB, and they are obviously rare. Franchise QB's are the likes of Rivers, Ben, Eli, Ryan etc.

I love people who don't watch the game and go off the stats.

I certainly didn't claim Thigpen a better QB. Not sure I have seen that anywhere in this thread. I'm simply claiming Ben isn't what I would consider one of the greats. I also contend that the Steelers went to the SB based on defense rather than QB play. Im told a middle of the road QB is the reason and not the #1 defense based on a couple of throws on one drive.

Ok. Damn. Whatever.
Roethlisberger is one of the top QB's in the game today. He played through injuries that would have damn near killed Croyle, but, whatever. That's the benefit of having a franchise QB who happens to be 6'5" 250. Even thinking about comparing Thigpen to Roethlisberger is laughable. |
