    It was more than a few. Roethilisberger was a selfish, immature jackass who sometimes threw teammates under the bus, but he took blame far more than you give him credit for doing.

    I love Bradshaw, too, but he sounds like a child when he talks about Noll.

    Ben's admissions of fault always seemed as passive aggressive as his other statements to the media. Throws 4 interceptions, defense creates turnovers, the line holds long enough for him to overcome his mistakes and he says things like obviously when I throw 4 picks its not the way we want to play a game, thankfully the defense balled out and my OLine was able to save my backside because we all know I hold onto the ball too long.

    He was always trying to be cute with the media. Just say it's hard to win when you turn the ball over four times and you have to do better end of story. Sometimes some of his best wins were because of his own mistakes making them necessary.

    Yep, Bradshaw was a little nut case his 1st 2 or 3 years. Beside being immature he also had girlfriend and wife issues which also played in his head. I remember thinking every time he split up with his girlfriend or wife he had horrible games after. In the long run he became the best in big games.

    Would you like to put money on this???
    I can think of about 7 games right off the top of my head I heard Ben take full blame, and can show the clips. You forget. His whole career is on the internet.
    Of course Ben never had a two year slump of 16 td 49 ints, so he didn't have as much to say he was sorry for. LoL

    those 16 TD’s and 49 ints weren't a slump. Those were growing pains in Terry’s first two years. Ben might have had more potential than Terry but he didnt study film like Terry did

    Bradshaw would not be HOF without Noll and playing for the Steelers.

    He was VERY lucky we drafted him and were patient with him.

    If he was drafted by some other team, I bet he would have had a tough time being successful. Maybe he would have bounced around from team to team before he matured and maybe never won a Super Bowl.

    He also didn't have 10 HOFers surrounding him, no free agency, and a HC like Noll .
