Why does Ben Roethlisberger never get respect?

One of the acusers

Deshaun Watson has 22 accusations!?

Okay, there's something seriously wrong here.

One accuser isn't involved in the class action suit as she isn't in it for the money but wants justice. I'd say she must have a pretty big steak in this and not just some money hungry acusationist.

Odds are he did something and the "rog" had best suspend him more than 6 games.!!! I know they are letting the leagal system play out.

Then you must not have seen SB 12, in which Craig Morton was 4-15 for 39 yards and 4 interceptions. Or SB 35, in which Kerry Collins was 15-39 for 112 yards and 4 interceptions. Or SB 9, in which Fran Tarkenton was 11-26 for 102 yards and 3 interceptions. Or SB 24, in which John Elway was 10-26 for 108 yards with a fumble and 2 interceptions. Or...well, you get the picture.

You're probably right: The Steelers won SB 40 in spite of Ben. But I'll tell you what...they for damn sure wouldn't have won SB 43 without him.

people look at his numbers in Super Bowl 40, and yes they were bad, but they seem to forget the 3rd and 28 where he escaped the pocket, bought time and hit Ward at the 1 yard line for a first down setting up the first TD scored by Ben.
The chip he threw on the safety on the EL TD pass that gave him a completely clean throw. If he doesn't chip that S, he's right there on EL. There was another play, it was third down he was under pressure and he back handed a pass to Ward to keep the drive alive.
Faneca said Ben did a great job of setting up that Parker run in the 1st half, then checking to it in the 2nd half.

****** QB numbers, but he still made big plays at huge moments.

And people also forget that Ben was one year removed from his rookie season. Playoff games are obviously huge, but being the starting quarterback in the Super Bowl at the age of 23 is a completely different animal. Not surprising that the guy made some mistakes.
