Default Roethlisberger is Steelers' top priority

Roethlisberger may resign with the Steelers well past the 2008 season.

Good because he's a mediocre QB.

Can't argue with that, he sucks.

Just a little tidbit for all of you Big Ben haters...

Compare Ben's stats this year (his 4th year in the NFL) to Brady's 4th season...

Brady 2004 - 3,692 yards, 28TDs, 14INTs, 5 fumbles lost

Roethlisberger 2007 - 3,495 yards, 34TDs, 14INTs, 4 fumbles lost

Kinda similar, wouldn't you say? Add to that Ben's 200+ rushing yards and 2TDs this year. Ben was also sacked 53 times this year to Brady's 26 in 2004, which explains that he was able to accomplish these stats under LOTS of pressure (thanks to a crappy O-line).

So go ahead and say he sucks if you want, but he'll most likely finish in the top 6 or 7 at QB in the league this year. I'll take that for a 4th year guy any day.

Ben is one of the better QBs in the NFL. The Steelers would do well to lock him up long term. Now, if they could get some play calling that accentuates Roethlisberger's skills (running isn't one of them), he'd be a real threat.

And he made some piss poor decisions in the 2004 AFCCG too, he looks a lot like Drew Bledsoe did his first few years as a Patriot; locks in on his primary reciever, does not read defenses well, forces the ball into places he should not. He either learns not to do all of the above, or he becomes Drew part II..................

Nope, he's as good as Brady and Manning. Just ask Steelers fans.
