He’s just old. Old and outdated. Thinks running and defense wins titles when the history of this organization since the 1970 merger proves that the ONLY constant success the Steelers have had was when they had a legitimate franchise QB under center.

1970-1982 Bradshaw Era: 9 trips to the playoffs: 6 trips to the AFC title game, 4 rings:

1983-2003 Whatever garbage QB you want to list: 11 trips to the playoffs, 5 AFC tile games, 1 AFC tite, 0 rings.

Ben Era: 6 trips to the playoffs, 4 AFC title games, 3 AFC titles, 2 rings.

But you go ahead and continue to downplay Ben’s success Bozozilla, it’s quite amusing.

Actually, it’s pathetic.

That’s what they said about the Steelers when Bradshaw left too. In fact Steelers fans only appreciated Bradshaw’s talents decades after he left when they had to sit there and watch the rest of the 1980′s and Cowher’s choke jobs when he tried to get by with stop gaps and projects.

Then in 2004 the Steelers FINALLY got serious about the QB position again and imagine that? Two more rings go on the Rooney’s fingers.

You’re boy Leftwich had his chance, and he blew it.

Deal with it.

I am completely convinced bobz is not a Steeler fan in reality. His intense blind hatred of Ben while overlooking anything positive proves to me he is likely a bitter fan of a rival that Ben destroyed. How else do you explain ignoring the majority of the evidence and anybody elses’s performance on the team over all these years, or the fact he thinks Ben couldn’t have done better than Byron or Charlie in the last 2 games? C’mon man.

I understand you may dislike Ben and tomlin, but if you don’t want them, I’d sure take them on my tram, and the 3 SB appearances they brought the city of Pittsburgh. My team has never even sniffed a SB appearance

So a rush TD doesn’t count when Ben saved Bettis ass in that game when he failed on FOUR TRIES to get in the endzone?

Guys like you are going to be in for quite a surprise when Ben retires unless they get lucky and another HOF QB falls in their lap pretty quick.

Then reality set in didn’t it?

These last 2 weeks should make dinosaurs like you appreciate Roethlisberger even more.

Because the two guys YOU said they could win with, have sucked the last 2 weeks thus ending their season.

He played excellent in SB XLIII. Saved the defense’s ass when they blew a 20-7 4th quarter lead.

88 yards in two minutes.

Deal with it Gramps.

Roethlisberger can’t play defense. When the defense can’t get off the field following Steelers scores, and can’t force turnovers their simply isn’t enough time for the offense to score 30 points a game when they have to go 75-80 yards for every point.

You are a typical blow hard 50 year old plus Yinzer. You have no clue about the MODERN NFL.

I hate to say it but if that how the Steelers play without Ben then he really does carry the team. That is a compliment to Ben but a scary thought for the rest of the team.

Trot him out behind that OL for this game at your own risk…the schedule would be much easier with him more healthy starting the week after than with him banged up with another one in the L column.

2) 9-7 may earn a Wild Card in the AFC this year

3) Rest Ben vs the Ratbirds, 3 of the last 4 are at home

4) Steelers will win at Baltimore in the playoffs vs an overrated team.

That’s exactly the type of post that should get a person banned from posting on this site. REALLY?

As far as self destructing in the playoffs; Pittsburgh won the Super Bowl twice in the last 6 years. How long’s it been since the ratbirds won a Super Bowl? Ignoramous.

luckimore had better hope the Texans stumble, because that team’s not beating any quality opponent on the road at full strength with joe flaccid at the helm. PLEASE hurry up and sign the best quarterback in the league to that megadeal. Can’t wait to see them hamstrung by that blunder after a year or two.

GO STEELERS!

Obsessed with the Steelers since 1996.

Will love to see Ben play and Haloti Ngata drive Ben into the turf with his 360 pounds and drive that rib right into Ben’s aorta.
