Qbs making their first playoff start are 0-3 so far (Palmer pending). Good thing Big Ben doesn't have much more experience. Something to watch next week with Grossman and the Bears. Grossman has one start and a half this year. With revenge for Carolina, I LOVE the under.
Agree with the general idea of staying off qb's with no playoff experience. But it should be tempered with one other fact: is that team with the green qb playing a team with a solid defense?
Palmer may be more mature than Simms and Manning (been a starter longer), but the Steelers rank No 3 in total defense

I think Cinncy can win if Palmer has too carry the team. I don't think Big Ben can carry the Steelers. That's not a real knock on Big Ben, it's the fact the Steelers are so dependent on the run. And that not only affects the so-called skilled players, but the offensive linemen. The Steelers linemen are run blockers first and pass blockers second. If the game turns into a shootout, I think it favors the Bengels.
Dont compare manning to simms and leftwich. Manning is clueless. Aside from one or 2 late game drives and the occasional bomb to burress he hasnt even been mediocore this year. Leftwich is far better and simms in limited action has been far more efficient.
If manning doesnt really improve next year (at age 26) the comparisons to harrington and mirer will start.
