Ben Roethlisberger in his prime was best at..........

Extending the play

 

Come to think about it ... Pickett remind me of a young Bradshaw. Wr's had to make acrobatic catches.

 

Ben was best at extending plays. I think he was actually more accurate when running for his life than he was standing still.

Ben was worst at picking up girls at the bar. I'll see myself out.

 

...best at saving the Bus's chance at SB XL with "The Tackle"!

 

The more busted up he got through the game the better he played

 

Winning in the state of Ohio.

 

Randy was Jewish and he said his mother (grandmother?) told him anything you get your hands on you keep

 

Ben was the king of playground/improvisational football. His receivers quickly learned not to give up on a play. Ben would find them.

 

Game management. I always saw him as a general leading his troops. He could always see what the defense had planned. His no huddle offense was outstanding. His two minute offense was great. The only thing that stood in his way was offensive coordinators.....lol

 

Being Dramatic

Seriously I would say beating off defenders and extending plays. One of the best I have ever seen turn something out of nothing. If not for MT I would love to think he could have won another 1 or 2 rings in his prime.

 

No matter what the score was in the 4th quarter you always had a feeling Ben would find a way to win. Even last year with diminished skills he led several fourth quarter comebacks for the win.

 

This! That pump fake was crazy

 

Over coming the hit Bart Scott put on him. Maybe the hardest I have seen in my life time.

 

Being a drama queen

 

My TV is broke

 

Really???

 

Lend it a couple of bucks

 

Throwing to Santonio Holmes in the end zone in a Super Bowl.

And shoestring tackles.

 

What I wonder about is how many Super Bowls would have happened if he didn’t drive a motorcycle. Rookie season only loss was the AFC championship game. His second season 5 losses but he had a knee injury they lost like 2 games. Then he played prior to being 100% so the lost another. In reality I think he lost 2 games as a healthy starter in his second season. What if Plex had half a brain and we kept him. A lot of broken plays went to a 6’5” WR 50 yards down field

 

Leading come from behind victories. I was looking not too long ago at his 4th quarter comeback stats and man was he good. Only manning and Brady are ahead of him by 2 more wins and Brady took longer to get there and is still playing. Heck he had 7 in his last year so the dude could still play and I'm thankful he chose not to put on another teams jersey.

After almost 25 years of watching qb's that couldn't make crucial throws and extend drives Ben's arrival was huge. Defenses weren't getting left hanging in the wind all the time. Always knew we was short the most important position on the field from winning a superbowl. After the 15-1 season i was disappointed but knew we was winning a superbowl at some point. As someone stated earlier in this thread there was a confidence of knowing you had a chance in every game with him on the field. A bit of a ramble by me about Ben but he put us over the hump so I will always remember that.

 

TD and championship season saving tackles
Beating the snot out of the Stains
Drawing up plays in the dirt when the OC has no clue
Throwing darts while rolling out
Turning the 2003 struggling Oline into a HOF calibre unit by scrambling to double the time he could take to find a receiver

 

Playing through injuries. His style led to many hits and, as a result, injuries. He always gutted it out and found a way. Tough as a QB as there is in the modern era.
