can anyone tell me why big ben at 27-4 as a starter with two afc apperances1-1 and now his first of many super

Because many players are only good for a few years and then fade out. Kurt Warner is a perfect example. On top of that Rothlisburger is playing for a great team. They've had three decent running backs and two good recievers (Randle El maynot be Plaxico but he's still not bad), and a pretty good line too the whole time he's played for them. \n\nSo I think people who are saying he hasn't been tested mean it in that way as to wheter or not he'd still be good if he didn't have the team, but if they are using it in that sense you could always question Peyton Manning. Who is playing for probably the greatest offensive team and has never really played without talent around him.\n\nPersonally I feel that Big Ben will be a great QB for many years to come because he can scramble but doesn't unless he has to, he's very athletic for his size and he's not too bad of a passer either... Oh, and if I may say it GO! Steelers!

The answer to this question may be different in a few years, but John Elway is arguably one of the 5 best QB's to ever play the game. \n\nBig Ben is off to a great start, but needs to show he can do it over a longer period of time, plus get atleast one ring before he can be mentioned in the same breath as Elway.\n\nPlease note: I give this answer even though I hated John Elway.

This is the most stupid question i have herd on yahoo... u must be an idiot (which you are) not to realize he broke a record in touchdowns and he had the most yards for a running back in the nfl.. and he was one of the main reason why the seahawks went to the super bowl

Early word is that Favre is still experiencing some tingling in his injured arm but expects to play Monday night. Odds are very good that he will. No way he misses a Monday nighter. But if his throwing arm isn't 100%, do you really want to risk having him as your fantasy starter this week?\nMcNair's play has improved since Billick took over the play calling and he's averaged 253 yards passing. The touchdowns have been inconsistent however. The Steelers secondary is solid but they have been susceptible to big plays this season. With the running game somewhat limited, McNair will pass more and should find just enough success with Heap and Mason to warrant starter consideration.

9 and a half.  You have a top notch Peyton Manning, a star in Tiki Barber, and two surprisers in Chester Taylor and Willie Parker.  \n\n\nReggie Wayne has put up some of the best stats in the AFC, and even though he hasn't been producting, Chad is Ochosinco(cool).\n\n\nJeremy Shockey is one of the best in the NFL, and John Carney is one of those surprisers that isn't a big name but has been producting.\n\n\nThe only reason why you don't get a 10 is because your defense isn't top notch.  A little secret to help that is to go to your free agents, and see which offense is horrible. \n\nExample: the Cardinals defense might be facing the Raiders offense, so the Cardinals defense will probably stop the Raiders offense and will rack up a lot of points.\n\n\nI thingk that you have a great fantasy team.

Big Ben's game is not based on speed or athleticism. Often this allows a player to have a longer career. He's also not actually that big for a center, which means he isn't getting quite the wear and tear of someone like Shaq (for instance). Unless he decides he is sick of the game, gets a serious injury, or goes Spree and gets some deluded idea of his worth, I think he could have 4 or 5 more years in him.

No, I don't believe so. Charlie Batch had potential for a long time, but he never hit it, even with different coaches and systems. While Ben is an OK QB with a great team around him, he is never the reason the Steelers lose. However, with Batch, I can see times where Batch can cause a loss with an ill timed turn over or not being able to run out the clock effectively.

ben is still an good qb, he's been through a lot and the way to overcome his problems is to play him.  Bench him and he'll never get any better, he is the qb of that team and as long as medically cleared, will, and should be played.  Please "real" pittsburgh fans, stop crying about our qb leave it to teams like denver to do that, we will overcome!

What drugs are you taking?\n\nThey might go on a 7 game LOSING streak.\n-------------\nBill Cower is in his last year and he's CLEARLY lost interest.\n\nBig Ben is more beat up right now than Mike Tyson.\n\nThe defense is HORRIFIC.\n\nThe offensive line ought to be run out of town.\n--------------\n\nLook, you got REAL LUCKY winning that Super Bowl last year.\n\nFirst of all, you never should have got in the playoffs.\n\nThen (if you wouldn't have trashed Palmer's knee) Cincinnati should have beat you by 20.\n\nTo top it off, the referees apparently got together before the Super Bowl and decided to let you guys win no matter what.\n-----------------\n\nBe thankful for your Championship last season.\n\nIt won't happen again for a LONG LONG time!

I'm surprised he wasn't picked to replace Brady.  But when you look at just pure numbers, Manning, Palmer and Brady all put up more than him.  Fans saw the TD's and voted for them instead of Ben who probably deserved it more.

A healthy rookie RB playing behind an experienced line on a team that has such a passing threat is bound to do well.  Not to take anything away from him, but we'll need a few more seasons out of him to figure out what he really is.  For now, he's a rookie and the opposing teams have not yet had a chance to see him in action and account for the way he runs.

Ok this is a no brainer T.O. , Harrison and Jackson...you never bench T.O. unless he has a bye week or is hurt or playing on the Raiders..HAHAHA !!! Harrison is not getting the ball that much cus of double coverage..but this week he'll get back on track and score at least 2 td's for 100 + yards, he's got Manning throwing to him ..and play Jackson man he's been scoring  almost every week with or without  Hasselbeck man. I started him and he got me major points. He is there go to wr man.

Other then the fact that you're an idiot nothing. This is fantasy football so why don't you just pretend that you have your precious Browns player. I bet you're almost last in your league with a 2-5-1 record you *!@?* loser!!!!!! You should walk out into the middle of the highway and pick your team next year during rush hour. You are a sorry excuse for a fantasy owner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hasselbeck is definitely warming up to something good as of late. Roethlisberger isn't playing like he even deserves to be in the NFL. Then again, both of these guys are capable of big games out of nowhere.

Not so sure yet. They guy has won 75% of the games he has started for Denver.  Denver at 7-4 is still in the thick of a playoff run.  I don't see Shanahan basically giving up on the season yet and throwing in a completely untested rookie QB.  Plummer stays the starting QB for now.

Because when he came out of college, he was a tweener.  Too slow for a WR and too small for TE, so they listed him as both.  Since they set the positions before the season starts, they had no idea which position he would play.  And anyway, how many 7th round rookies make ANY impact in the NFL???  Even guys up top like Holmes and Jackson aren't close to this guy so far this year!!!

He is good, but the other CB sux. Peyton Manning and Reggie Wayne burnt him all game long a couple of weeks ago. Probably why Bailey looks so good. No one throws his way because whoever is on the other side is wide open!!!
