Why is this QB playing defense? Probably because he threw the ball to the wrong team... AGAIN.
Everyone knows I'm a huge Ben Roethlisberger fan, and I love the way he fearlessly led the Steelers to a Super Bowl victory with stellar 9 for 21 passing and an amazing 22.6 QB rating . ...

Ben Roethlisberger was a mess yesterday, looking more like a modern-day Cliff

Byron Leftwich was pretty darn good, and when you've got a backup that's played
well recently and a ...
Byron Leftwich Is Getting Popular Again
Dave's Football Blog —
Ever since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970, the most popular man in Pittsburgh — aside from Mario Lemieux, of course — has always been the Steelers backup quarterback. Always.
When Kordell Stewart couldn’t hit the broad side of Plaxico Burress’ house, Steelers fans started calling for Tommy Maddox. When everyone realized Tommy would never be more than the MVP of a second-rate league, Steelers fans wanted someone else. They got that someone else in Ben Roethlisberger, who helped guide the Steelers to a Super Bowl. As soon as Ben started struggling, however, fans demanded the backup. This goes back to the days when a young Terry Bradshaw was booed off the field and fans were calling for ...
