OT Big Ben throws a fit because Steelers drafted a QB

[Off The Grid]

The best of men ask what they can do for the world:

Tom Brady.

Parasites ask what the world can do for them:

Little Ben.

 

[Deus Irae]

He said what many here have been saying for years, which is that you should be maximizing the talent around the current QB rather than burning high picks on theoretical QBOTF, and he cracked a joke as a follow up to what Rudolph had said earlier

"It's not Ben's job to teach me anything," Rudolph said, "it's my job to learn."

Steelers selection of Mason Rudolph behind Ben Roethlisberger signals a shift.


Nothing wrong with what he said.

 

[Patjew]

Just ask the Eagles how "being the backup helps the team win now." Such a giant baby on so many levels.

I’d much rather you referred to the 2001 Pats.

Disagree. There's nothing wrong with the text of his comments viewed on their own, but the fact that he said anything at all is a bit of an issue. If you ignore the fact that the option "Keep Mouth Closed" was on the table, what he said isn't entirely unreasonable, but why should we ignore this? Anything he says on the subject is going to be misinterpreted by half the fanbase, so why even open his mouth?

Nonsense

There's a world of difference between "That's not how the Patriots normally do it" and "That's wrong".

 

[TennisBallHead]

Um, Brady just did the exact same thing. He even ran the kid out of town.

Please post a link to any quote of Brady commenting about the Pats wasting a draft pick on a QB because I seem to have missed that.

I find it rather amusing anyone would use the word "amazing" describing this tool...his team "won" a Superbowl despite him, and his pathetic lowest rating for a SB win. He only has the best WR, and RB in the game and this is all he's done? Not to mention the defenses he has had every year, more often than not top 5. The guy makes some of the stupidest throws, and holds the ball entirely to long...yet he's "amazing"? Yeah, no don't think so.
Oh and his imaginary drama queen injuries...lmao! I'll never forget in 2005 AFC championship game after the Pats destroyed them he came out with "I played with broken toes" only to have Cowher completely shoot down his lame ass lie. If he played for any other team, he'd be right in the same category as Bortles. The only thing I'll give this chump credit for, is his deep ball. He throws the best one in the game right now.

Ben better hope Antonio does not get hurt next season, otherwise everybody will see him for the washed up has been he currently is.

Skeezer boy is many things. Washed up is not one of them.

If he didn't have AB, and Bell you'd see a very underwhelming QB at this stage. They make up for his many deficiencies. Don't be surprised, when he's out of Pittsburgh in two years max regardless if he's still playing.

you would see a different Roethlisberger if he had Edelman, Hogan, Matthews and Patterson to throw to.

Lol! He wouldn't last a week in this offense. Whereas you put Brady in the Pitt. O they probably win SB after SB.

Speculative.

He still needs to make the throws and he is.

Based on what? Conference titles...playoff appearances...that team should be winning SB's not hanging playoff banters. Their offense was garbage in the playoffs.. at home...against a Florida team

What does that have to do with him being washed up?

 

[FoxboroFlyer]

What does that have to do with him being washed up?

90 percent of the starting qb's in the league could do what he does, and in most cases more with that offense. I'm being generous in saying 90. He's average at best, with a great deep ball.

But they haven't and don't.

 

[FoxboroFlyer]

I'm just saying, the guy is tremendously over rated. He has under performed to this point in his career (to be considered an "amazing" QB lol), considering the talent he has always had around him. Hell, I hope he sticks around for 5 more years.

Even if you're right (and there's not a consensus on this) he had the grace to do it quietly.
