Stuck home sick today with nothing to do.
Have been watching a ton of old Steeler games.
I know this has been mentioned before, but we were so lucky to have Ben drop to us at 11.
Thankfully the qb needy browns did a very browns thing and of course went TE.
I won't post a video as it is super easy to go to YouTube and find one you enjoy.
I focused on his pump fakes today.
Has to be the best in NFL at pump fakes. The amount of times he did so in his career was amazing.

I encourage everyone to go watch videos of how great he actually was.

What could have been if cowher had stayed
 
Ben, Troy, Hines, Bettis, Smith and Farrior were the guys who epitomized Steelers football for me. Hardnosed, tough, and incredibly talented.

The media will never recognize how good Roethlisberger was, but I think we all know and were lucky to watch him in the black and gold for so long. The longer he's been retired, the more you realize how important he was to the 10+ years of success, particularly how he elevated the players around him.

Ben would pump fake and it could pull you out of your chair at home. Just think what it did to LB's and DB's on the field.

The best pump fake in the history of the game.

Those were the days....

 
Ben did some very amazing things through-out his career.

A sure sack was never a given, always kept an eye down field, had the arm to make every throw +.

Never throwing fellow team mates under the bus, took the blame wether it was him or not.

Once he realized he needed a life change, he became an even better player (and actually changed his life outlook)

I watch his videos all the time, games and the SOLID players of that era all combined to make
the Steelers relevant for so long.

Truly a blessing for us fans.!!!

Add in that he never got “special” consideration from the officiating or the league, and by league I’m talking the Rog.

Brady / Manning / breeze / Mahomes / Eli / Flaco / amongst many more all got special protection that Ben NEVER got.

Ben also led MAJIC when he would QB a come from behind win, something he did 7 times his last season playing (keep in mind he had one of the worse offensive lines to work behind) (ALSO, I think he holds the NFL record for most come from behind wins)

Truly a blessing
