Ben Roethlisberger Still Has It

Big Ben had some issues in the first game. Seems over the past few years every time Ben has a stinker everyone holds their breath and wonders if he’s still got it. If this is going to be like Manning’s last season, except without the shutout defense to prop him up. But he’s shown enough since to indicate he’s not fallen off the age cliff yet.

There are a lot of talented players on this roster, particularly on the offensive side of the ball. But Roethlisberger remains the most important part of the team. As long as he can toss 300+ yards on a regular basis the hopes for that seventh ring remain alive, more or less.
