Tom Brady.

They would also get rid of the ball a lot quicker than Big Ben does.

Well when the Jets played the Colts and Pats they got pressure and made both QB's look average. With an even worse o-line it would only be magnified.

Re: Brady, P.Manning or Roethlisberger?

There are 5 QB's I'd take before Big Ben.

Manning
Brady
Brees
Rivers
Rodgers

Exactly my thinking. I might have to throw in Matt Ryan, though most likely not, maybe in a year.

And you could easily argue that Brady and Manning STILL played better than Big Ben against the Jets. Big Ben definitely made plays when he needed to, and he moved the chains with his legs, but he still made some terrible throws which didn't come back to bite him.

Re: Brady, P.Manning or Roethlisberger?

I don't think it matters that they haven't had a top 10 rusher since '07. When they NEED to run the ball, they do it very well and it takes pressure off of Ben.

Their rushing game is a myth, ask any Steeler fan that sits and actually watches every game. They haven't had a decent run game or Oline to support Ben in years. Don't know where you get that info or impression.

He had 2 INT's and the first one wasn't his fault. There were countless times that he moved the chain just on his athletic ability alone. The 1st conversion at the end of the game is a perfect example.

Yeah okay. Mendanhall didn't have over a hundred yards rushing in the first half against the Jets

Nope, no support at all

Re: Brady, P.Manning or Roethlisberger?

I've never really liked the sport of baseball. It probably has something to do with the Pirates being so terrible while I was growing up. I'm 25, 18 of those years the Pirates have had a losing season. I still go to a game or two a year, but I just don't follow the sport.

I love people who think if you but Brady or Manning behind the Steelers O-line that they would be just as good or better LOL. Both would get sacked 5-10 times a game.

I disagree. Manning and Brady both get rid of the ball quick and Ben tends to hold onto the ball just a bit too long causing him to get sacked.

Peyton had a 108.7 qb rating against the Jets,btw.It was the special teams that blew the game.

I was thinking the same thing. Can you believe an Eagles fan and Cowboys fan could be on the same page?

Re: Brady, P.Manning or Roethlisberger?

Ben every time. He comes up big when the Steelers need him too an his ability to escape the rush for a big play is a nice bonus.

Right, he did some good things, but like I said, he didn't necessarily play better than Brady or Manning against the Jets in the playoffs.

Just for fun, name one player on the Colts OLine not named Saturday.

Wow, 1 game as an example. I guess Brady and Manning have never had 1 game with a 100 yard rusher for support.

If 100 yards=run support, then Ben's had that 2 times in 14 starts this season.

It's a myth, and for those who still live in the past, but what do i know. I only watch all their games. They found some magic in the Jet game, and hopefully it can continue.

Re: Brady, P.Manning or Roethlisberger?

Calling it a myth is silly. The Steelers have never put up huge rushing numbers, but when they need the tough yards they have always been able to get it

That's the difference and I'm not gonna go digging for examples of huge games by Steelers RBs just to say the obvious. Nothing has changed in Pittsburgh, they still win with running the football tough and great defense. The one year that Ben threw for 4000 yards and the passing game was the main focus(09) they missed the playoffs

Manning has won the MVP 4 times. Roethlisberger has made the Pro Bowl once.
