Roethlisberger is one of the best quarterbacks in NFL history, and he's still got it.
He's good for 1 or 2 really bad games every season that cause everyone to question if he's still got it, and then he says "Well gee, maybe I'm washed up" and comes back out the next week and starts tearing everyone to shreds again. I guess when you rape as many coeds as he does, it's kind of like the fountain of youth.
And then you consider that the Steelers actually have a good front office and a stable coaching situation, so it's easy for players to be held accountable -- it's expected -- and they actually have a well constructed roster. The fact that they could let Timmons walk, even though he was willing to take a discount to stay in town, says everything about how that team is built. They actually prioritize important positions like LB.
I didn't watch the game last night because I was busy watching Roberto Luongo shut out the San Jose Sharks, but I did see that Rishard Matthews had a great game for Tennessee. Rishard Matthews is a very good football player and Joe Philbin was very stupid to piss him off to the point that he was willing to take peanuts from another team simply to get out of town.
