Ben Roethlisberger Appreciation Thread

[Black@Gold Forever32]

If Steelers fans still don't appreciate Ben Roethlisberger, they never will. Ben Roethlisberger IS the Steelers. Without Ben, we're still looking for the "One for the Thumb"... I dread the day he retires. Luckily, I feel he's got another 7-8 years left in him.

Let me just throw some stats alone (and stats don't even begin to tell the whole story with Ben):

I was born in 79 so I only remember the 80s-2012....But watching Bubby Brister, Neil O'Donnell, Mike Tomcazk, Kordell Stewart, Jim Miller, Kent Graham, Tommy Maddox is more then enough for me to appreciate Ben and really give him more benefit of the doubt then anybody on the team......Some of these younger fans have no idea how lucky they to never sit through the crap at the QB position that some of us older fans had to....lol

I confess I still have my Bubby Brister starting lineup figure....lol

I appreciate Ben not riding his motorcycle without a helmet.

I really don't think there's a Steeler fan who is a Ben hater. It's simply that if you aren't perfect people will bitch. We lose a game and Ben sucks for not getting the winning TD drive, DL sucks and should retire because the defense gave up a game winning drive, Rooneys are too old ect ect.

One thing that I think Ben has done and continues to do better than any QB I can remember watching. Getting hit doesn't seem to phase him at all. It has always been said hit the qb a few times and you'll rattle him, he'll get happy feet. That is not the case with Ben.

Ben still isn't appreciated by some of our own fans.........People still are to quick to bash Ben if he gets off to a slow start in a game.....Never mind all the plays he has made to help win a ton of games for this team over the years....

I'm not surprised by this, some people are just stupid (7.9% unemployment rate)

I think an overwhelming majority appreciate him. I know I do. Those Kordell Stewart years were brutal.
