Week 7 Picks

[MC Hammer]

I never bashed Ben... I just thought you were saying that Ben was the best QB in the league... which isnt true. Fact is, that since they have 3 more than capable running backs, he doesnt need to throw 50 times a game, and what it pretty much comes down to, is that when he has to throw, he executes almost every time.

No I would never say that Ben is out right the best QB in the league(yet!), but he is definatly top 5.

 

BTW jesus christ this guy is a 2nd year QB ... people judge him as though he's been in the league for 10 years.

So what do you want people to say, MC? The point is, a victory against Cincinnati is still nothing to brag about when you're sitting behind them.

 

'Big Ben is a god', is that way you want people to think? Or here's the best one, Ben is just SO ALLSOME. :

 

I'm not going to have this argument because it's either jealousy or just bitterness that Ben is so awesome.

First of all it wasn't just a victory over the Bengals. The Bengals came into this game thinking that they were better than the Steelers. Hell apparently the whole board and 2/3rds of the country thought that too. The Steelers didn't just win, they completely embaressed the Bengals. It's more than just us being .5 behind them ... it's a psycological edge we have over them now. Now they know that they are still the Bungals and we are still the Steelers. We went into, a Super Bowl contender's house, and dominated the game.

 

I don't know where you got allsome from ... maybe I typed that the other day ... whatever. I don't really care what people say about him as long as their fair. Bashing him for only throwing 20 passes isn't fair. He doesn't call the plays. I just don't understand how you can bash a guy for being damn near perfect when his number is called. The reason yesturday that I said someone must be jealous is because that is the only way this makes sense. Especially considering I've yet to bash Brady or any other QB in the league for that matter.

 

Well yeah that was a BS quote, but when everyone is jumping on your QB after he WON a f***ing game you have to defend him.

 

I don't know what your f***ing problem is. We've had no bad blood in the past, but you really seem like your trying to pick a fight. Is it because the Texans blow? Or the Cowboys?

I don't know what the problem is. Ben is one of the top quarterbacks in the league. The only potential negative is that he hasn't won the big game. I'd be proud if I was a Pittsburg fan.

Exactly and thats why I'm having this argument. I wouldn't care if he was getting even a little respect but saying he is only good because of a system is down right stupid. Saying that he doesn't throw enough is just a different kind of stupid. Nothing matters but W's, and over the last year and a half Ben has the msot in the league. I don't care if he doesn't throw a single pass all game. He manages the game better than any QB on our roster(see: Tommy Turnover week 6). He is THE QB for this offense. He does absolutly everything we need our QB to do, and thats why he is considered a top tier QB in the eyes of SMART fans. Tom Brady does everything the Pats need him to do, and a lot more ... thats why he's the best QB.

 

As far as a product of the system. So is every player in the league, because every team has a system. Some players find the right system and flurish, some end up being busts.

Hate the Cowboys. I'm from Houston, so I'm a Texans fan. But the Texans or Cowboys will get to the Super Bowl before Pitt does. And I was watching ESPN and thinking about it, and I agree with Jaws... I'll take Carson Palmer over Big Ben in second year QBs. You ACTUALLY think this guy should be in comparison with the rest of the league?

 

Heck, my boy, David Carr played against the best defense in the league (Indianapolis Colts) this last week and he put up around the same numbers that this so called "star" in Pittsburgh did against the Bengals.

 

And we have no bad blood, I just don't see why you'd brag to Bengals fans about beating a team that hasn't finished over .500 in 8 years.
