[h=1]Terry Bradshaw would take Ben Roethlisberger over Tom Brady[/h]September 7, 2016

</center>Would you take Ben Roethlisberger over Tom Brady? At least one legendary NFL quarterback sure would.
Hall of Famer Terry Bradshaw would take Roethlisberger over any quarterback in the league, Brady included, if he had to pick.
“I would rate Ben right on top if the list, ahead of (Tom) Brady for sure and anybody else, (Philip) Rivers, Eli (Manning),” Bradshaw said, via Teresa Varley of the Steelers’ official website. “He is big, strong, and poised.
“I would start with the most important thing a quarterback has to be, poised. If you panic in that pocket you are no good. I don’t care what else is there, you have to be poised. Ben has amazing talent, strong arm, strong guy, big in big games, clutch throws, makes somethings happen. I have always admired him. I have the greatest respect for the job he has done and how he handles himself as a professional.”
Interestingly, Big Ben himself doesn’t agree.
“Tom’s the greatest in the world, and I mean that,” Roethlisberger said, via ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
On the surface, this can be written off as former Steeler Bradshaw being a homer. Maybe there’s an element of that to it. But Bradshaw wasn’t always Roethlisberger’s biggest fan, so it shouldn’t be dismissed that quickly. Roethlisberger may not have the rings of a Brady, but he still has two of them, and his numbers measure up to the best. I’m still not sure I buy it, but maybe it’s not that laughable after all.

Big Ben has had a solid career
He is a hard nose player who isnt afraid to stand in the pocket that extra second and take the big hit to move the ball... which is why he gets injured. Guy is a competitor and wants to win, I would definitely have him on my team. But, I would also have a better backup than Landry Jones, knowing Ben is going to sit out at some point just because of his style of play.
2 rings....Looking for another 1 this season.....Hall of Fame.....No doubt.
Rapistburger is one QB that i hate betting on or bet against. Anytime i bet against him he would look invincible. If i bet against him, he would suck or look good enough to win but let the backdoor cover. WHen i back him he will make it his mission to cover the spread with even a meaning less td in the final minutes of 4th quarter!
He`s slowing down....32 years old....He better hurry up if he wants another ring.
