    The last time the steelers had a meaningful regular season win
    was when charlie batch beat the Ravens after that our season went down hill and Ben has never been the same.

    :lolol:
    This actually made me laugh. Ben has not been the same since his injury last year. I would say maybe its Haley, but we were 6-2 before he got hurt. He seems healthy when I look at him on the field, though, so I just dont know.

    Went down even faster when Tomlin left Leftwitch in to lose the 2nd rats game
    Blind Mellon Chittlin could even see lefty couldn't do it after the 2nd play when He got hurt.

    I had a guy email me the other night telling me to tell the team to start "Left Which". Not really on topic, but...

    I think there comes a point in every QBs life when they just have been hurt too much or something. Leftwich is a guy who at one point looked to be a very good QB in this league, but injury after injury took its toll and even though he looked healthy and was healthy physically, he just couldn't do it any more. Jake Delhomme was another guy this happened with. It just happens if the QB takes a ton of abuse. I worry Ben has reached that tipping point. I am not saying he has, but as a Charlotte native who lived through it with Delhomme...it worries me.
