Ben Roethlisberger’s Locker

AND Hines Ward is not BEN

 

He will. He's been to 3 SBs , won 2, is top 10 , or higher in every important Qb stat, and still owns many NFL records.
The HOF knows they would be a laughing stock if He didn't automatically get in on 1st ballot.

 

why not ?????

 

His ghost will haunt them....He will be a living poltergeist. LoL

 

Yeah, but Ben was a much better QB than Hines was WR. I love Hines, but it makes sense that he isn't an early ballot guy. He was statistically good, but what made him great was leadership by example and the way he played the game.

Ben was just flat out really good. He got a bit overshadowed by Brady, Manning, and Rodgers (who are all top 5 QB's of all time IMO), but I honestly think Ben is a top 10 QB ever. He would've been a lock for top 3 in the league in any era but his own (which so happens to be the best QB era ever IMO). He has the stats, longevity, and SB/postseason accomplishments to get in. He will be in right away.

 

I am sure that I'll get a bit of hate for this, but he might be the best Steeler ever. I know Terry won more SB's but Ben played in a far more competitive era with a salary cap and Free Agency, etc. He's every bit the image of Steeler football that Lambert, Greene, and Troy are.

 

Ben was excellent from 2004-2011. He was a disappointment in the playoffs from 2012-2021, but was always good in the regular season.

 

Which is wild, because I think his run from 2011 until his injury in 2019 was about as good as it gets from a QB perspective (outside of Brady/Manning/Rodgers). How he transformed from a high end game manager to the high-powered gunslinger was awesome to see.

 

The defense slipped to average after all the XL, XLIII and XLV players retired.... so it wasn't all on Ben. But his playoff performances, from 2014-2021, with the exception of the Denver game lost without AB and Bell in 2015 divisional vs Denver.... were sub par.

 

Be awesome if his poltergeist comes in for a last second TD in the SB this year.

Going to the SB!!! I'm hyped!

 

I believe He played well against Jags top 5 D also. I know some don't , but 5 td, a int , and a Fumble is pretty good against that D
