Re: Roethlisberger = Overpaid
Ben is a player who let his ego get in the way of his sound development. He didn't want to be a game manager, he wanted to be The Franchise. Last week he got reemed by his 2nd year HC for making stupid mistakes and bad decisions repeatedly. He admitted he doesn't work hard enough on game prep and vowed to change. He wants to play sandlot ball, and his ego is part of the reason Cowher decided to take his sabatical and move on. Tomlin and Arens played right into Ben's ego last season and they are now paying the price. And so is Ben. And so are Steeler fans. It's not a lack of protection with Ben so much as recklessness and stubborness. And 5 years in it will be tough to change his subconscious mindset. Like Favre they can behave in small segments, not long term - it's not fun enough.
