Some SERIOUS love for Big Ben! (about time)

This is an article that I couldn't believe I just read so I figured I would put it here as evidence that it actually exists. I think most people will like this. I hope it turns out to be true. It would have happened in 07 if not for Brady becoming more human than human and it could have happened last year if not for a serious injury. Let's hope this is the year!

Here, here! Good read. I think when this offense starts clicking it's going to be hard to stop.

 

I went to grade school and high school with Kevin Patra (one of the writers in the article). Redford, Michigan. Of course he would pick Tom Brady though. I think he may have been a Steeler hater when we were younger lol.

 

The only sad part from the Steelers perspective is that he is considered an "upset" winner. The other guys, other than maybe Luck, are always considered right there. Ben....nope. I still say had Flacco or Manning made that throw to Holmes in the end zone to win the Super Bowl, they would have been the MVP, but Ben...nope that goes to the receiver. He just isn't loved the way the others are cause he wins ugly. He excels at street football, just not what the national media likes to harp on. Ben is a Top 10 QB and if this offense gels, meaning it can run the ball and give Ben some time....we will be hard to beat cause you know our D will bring it.

 

Absolutely.

The year before Eli chucked up a duck that somehow defied the laws of physics and stuck to David Tyree's head and Eli won it.

 

I have said many times on here that i thought Ben would eventualy win the MVP, before he retires, of couse a few on here dissagreed with me. So to me this is no surprise that some writer is picking him to win. be as a upset or not..

 

I don't care about the regular season MVP, that is just an award I could care less about, but the SB MVP is another story cause a win there means we won the game.

 

i just cant see Ben winning the regular season MVP ever. the offense they play isnt built for him to throw 30 to 40 tds and that usually what it takes. ill take 25 to 30 tds and single digit ints. if he does that than they are probably a playoff team.

Ben should have won the MVP in that super bowl. i know Holmes made that catch, but Ben threw it and he also threw a perfect pass on the play before that, that would have been a td, but Holmes dropped it.

Ben plays the game the way most of us played it in the street. he improvises. his olines have been pretty bad for most of his career and this years doesnt look any better. i cant see him surviving all 16 regular season games unless his oline figures it out.

as far as winning regualr season MVP or super bowl MVP goes. ill take the super bowl MVP any day. there would be nothing sweater than to see Ben lead the Steelers to their 7th super bowl win and to be named MVP.

 

How many of you watched the video of Ben's TD to Holmes in the Super Bowl multiple times like I just did? That play still amazes me! With the Harrison TD, we had arguably the two best plays in Super Bowl history in the same game! WOW! I could watch that all day.

 

they better find a way to better protect him or this is all a mute point.

 

Guilty!!

 

Moot point.

 

why thank you bobby. it didn't look right when I typed it either. I guess a mute point would be very quiet. LOL

 

Dude that game was on my dvr for years and I used to watch that play and Harrison's over and over and over and over and NEVER did they NOT send chills up and down my spine and get me so super pumped up! Those plays weren't just great moments in Steelers history they were great moments in SPORTS history! Those plays were probably my generations Immaculate Receptions ya know?

 

it seems like that was a skit on friends or was it a moo point

 

Its what happens when a mime makes a profound statement.
