<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Ben Roethlisberger and his father, Ken, were driving the quarterback's dogs to the vet the other day in Pittsburgh (supply your own Michael Vick joke here), and the subject turned to the tumult of 2006. They began listing everything the young passer had experienced over the past year -- the life-threatening motorcycle crash, the appendix that nearly burst, the rocky season, the departure of a coaching legend -- and it all felt so overwhelming."When you really think back on everything you went through," Ken told his son, "it was a lot of stuff."That realization triggered a few seconds of contemplative silence from Big Ben, who was driving his new black pickup truck and, for you non-Libertarians who fret about such things, was indeed taking the necessary safety precautions.</div>http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writ...kend/index.htmlA QB rating of 98+ in his first two seasons, so theres no telling what he can do now that he's healthy again.
I think alot of people forget just how good Rothlisberger was throughout his First 2 Seasons because of his up and down 2006 season, and a poor statline in the Super Bowl XL. But If I was building a team right now, he's in the Top 10 Quarterbacks that I would take. Young, Accurate, Strong Arm, Good Leader, and a Winner. Was huge in the playoffs on route to Super Bowl XL, even if he had a poor game when he got there.
