I agree Roethlisberger is overrated!
I live in Pittsburgh too and have been a Steelers fan since the age of 11
He always makes excuses for losing games. When he single handedly lost the AFC championships against the patriots season before last he came out and said he was playing with 3 broken toes. Next day coach Cohwer came out and straight up said Big Ben lied and didn't have ANY broken toes! I don't like how he never accepts responsibility for playing bad...it's always "I had a 104 degree temperature" or "My thumb was hurt" It's football, everybody is playing hurt.
The reason the Steelers have been so good was due to great defense and strong running. Ben never had much responsibility put on him. In the game yesterday the steelers were playing great D, had a good running game going, and Ben threw 3 ints that were HORRIBLE and they lost the game for that reason. Of course, NO ONE in pittsburgh ever puts any of the blame on him.
I'd still say he's in the top 10 QBs in the NFL, maybe #8 or #9 but that's because he's surrounded by a strong all-around team with good coaching. If roethlesberger was drafting by the browns or something he would have one of the worst passer ratings in the nfl. In the 2 games he's played this season he hasn't had a QB rating of over 40! Completing less than half of his attempts, 0 TDs, and 5 ints.
