Better now?

McNair didnt have the best WR duo in the league to throw to. Yes, I do feel that Warner is a better all around QB, but his recent successes have come from his opportunities to throw it to arguably the best down field WR in the game and one of the best possession WR in the game, Fitz and Boldin.

McNair was a good fit for us in 2006 and easily could have helped us again in 2007, except a plague of injuries swept through B-More. He was a game manager, one of the best of all time. That is what we wanted, let our defense do their thing, give it to Jamal, and hit Mase or Heap a few times.

I dont think Mason, Clayton, D-Will, or Heap could do some of the things that those 2 WR can do, ESPECIALLY Fitzgerald, it is not fair for the other team when he is on the field, simply an amazing athlete and person.

Bens’ crazy chuck and ducks

I’d like to think of it as an unorthadox quarter backing style. Seems to me he has been playing that way ALL season due to a shakey O line. How long does he have to do it before it isn’t “luck” anymore?

wacky Steeler returns

I’d say this was DPOY James Harrison taking a hundred yarder to the house!! I look at it more as a sweet ass interception, sweet ass blocking, and a sweet ass return.

Smoke and mirrors and poof- a SB title

Six to be exact. You seem rather bitter, which is understandable I suppose.

I guess I’ll just answer the lunacy in the order it appears.

It’s laughable to say that the Steelers had one of the toughest schedules in decades. What season were you watching? First off, let’s not even count the four teams to which they lost. If your argument is that Pittsburgh overcame a tough schedule, losses don’t make your point for you. As to the wins, nine came from teams that didn’t make it to the playoffs. They get four auto-wins from the division from the Browns and Bengals, and the Jaguars finished 5-11. That’s five out of twelve that aren’t even worth mentioning. The Texans, Redskins, and Chargers all went 8-8, which doesn’t exactly make them building blocks for “one of the toughest schedules in the past few decades.” That leaves the Patriots and Cowboys (who didn’t even make the post-season), and the Ravens, whom you beat twice. That’s doesn’t leave you with much of an argument. Looks to me like the Steelers had a pretty easy schedule. We should all be so lucky as to have “one of the toughest schedules in the past few decades.”

It is an absolute stretch to say that Roethlisberger is one of the best QB’s in the league. This season, he had nearly as many interceptions as TD’s (15:17) and an 80.1 QB rating. Joe Flacco (without a great receiving corp) had 14 TD’s and 12 interceptions with a rating of 80.3. Stats don’t tell the whole story, but I just want you to know the company that Ben keeps. Roethlisberger has a top-rated defense to make up for his deficiencies and give him good field position. He has great receivers that make ridiculous plays on the ball they wouldn’t have to with a REAL top-tier QB (Manning, Brady, or Brees). And finally, he has an officiating crew that refuses to call holding on his offensive line when he spends 30 seconds scrambling in the backfield. He shows some occasional flashes of greatness, and he might up his game to a higher level of play someday in the future, but he is most definitely not there yet. At this point, though, he’s more likely to suffer a career-ending injury because of his offensive line than to have his name mentioned with the real greats.

Having Super Bowl rings proves nothing about the talent of a player. Polamalu has two rings? Congratulations to him and the other 52 guys on the roster (not to mention coaching staff and front office). Trent Dilfer has a Super Bowl ring. Are you going to argue that he’s a top QB? Honestly, I didn’t see Polamalu do much of anything at all in the Super Bowl except double cover a receiver. If he’s the best safety in the league, I’d expect him to elevate his play in the biggest game of the season and get more than two tackle assists. In the second half of the game, the Cardinals lit up the Steelers secondary. Where was the best safety in the league then?

It took you over a week to respond to me, and this garbage is the best you can bring? This is typical of lame shit I’ve come to expect from Steelers fans.

I noticed you didn’t mention anything about the Steelers’ schedule this time around. You went from “one of the toughest schedules in the past few decades” to zero pretty quickly. In light of having no actual evidence to back up the ridiculous claim (other than just the popular opinion of Steelers bloggers), it’s probably most convenient to just not mention it any longer.

And now Ben Roethlesberger has gone from “one of the top, if not the best QB’s, in the NFL today” to being good enough to just barely beat us three times? Honestly, if you’re going to pretend that he’s the only player out there, at least learn how to spell his last name. “Big Ben” has become such a convenient moniker for all the Steelers fans out there that can’t spell more than three letters at a time. When it comes down to it, the Steelers offense is just good enough to win against top teams because it’s being backed by the top-rated defense. Seven of their 12 wins was by a touchdown or less (and three of the others came against Ohio teams). It’s become pretty popular to bash on the offensive line for all Roethlesberger’s woes, but he’s AT LEAST partially to blame. When he holds on to the ball too long and manages to dump it off at the last second for that miracle first down, he’s brilliant and the second coming of Christ. But when he holds on to it too long and gets the sack, all of a sudden his line is porous. Also, for all that time he’s scrambling and there’s almost NEVER a holding call, you have to give some credit to the line for solid — if impromptu — blocking. And how about those receivers? With the likes of Holmes and Ward (and that TE was pretty good, too), even Kyle Boller could look competent. So how about we stop pretending that Roethlesberger is some kind of god-like, one man army and give kudos to all 10 people that deserve them (sorry, “Fast” Willie Parker is all bark and no bite).

I’ve apparently seen all the evidence I need in the Reed vs. Polamalu debate! Troy got an interception, helped stop a fourth-and-goal, and played in the Super Bowl? Stop the press and get this man his pedestal! This is seriously all you have? I’ll be the first person to agree that there’s an argument on both sides of the debate, but this is seriously the lamest post on this subject I’ve seen yet. You missed Reed intercepting the ball? Or are you saying that you don’t see Reed intercepting Flacco? I can definitely agree that Polamalu is more likely to intercept Flacco than is Reed, so you’ve got me by the balls there. Your original argument was that Polamalu was the best safety in the NFL because he has Super Bowl rings, but neither his appearance in the Super Bowl, nor his play there are any kind of evidence as to who is the best safety. If you want to continue this debate, get your head out of your ass and present some actual evidence (Polamalu will appreciate it) to somebody that actually cares (I won’t).

Where does one even begin to respond to prose of this caliber? All I can think to say is this:

“…what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”

Since you apparently can’t support any of your ludicrous assertions with anything more than petulance and that shitty Romo-Roethlisberger article, I’m washing my hands of all this. Out.

Winner winner chicken dinner!!!

So I do not appreciate you using Jackass and I will not stoop to your animal abuse level.

Lol, please relax, its the internet and you dont know anything about our lives as we dont know anything about yours.
