I would kill for Miami to be choking in the playoffs consistently now. IDK why you just told that bold faced lie.

Not sure if you're being sarcastic or not. Bledsoe pretty much beat the Steelers in the 2001 AFC Championship Game.

Ben was the third QB taken in that draft (#11). He wasn't "Big name guy" like Manning was that year. Ben came from Miami (ohio) and wasn't well known. Pretty much everyone thought he was a reach at the time. You may have a point if you want to say he never had the draft position but it would be a hard argument to defend over 15 years of coaching.

This is his QB draft history in 15 years:

1993: 8th Rd Alex Van Pelt
1994: 6th Rd Jim Miller
1995: 2nd Rd Kordell Stewart
2000: 5th RD Tee Martin
2003 5th RD Brian St. Pierre
2004 1st (11th overall) Ben Roethlisberger
2006 5th RD Omar Jacobs

Not quite the guy who puts emphasis on a QB I would say. Matter of fact for 15 years he was pretty crappy at drafting a quarterback. I'm not sure you or I could have a worse draft history than that.

He was typically drafting later in the first round so he couldn't take the big name guys. What big name QB's did he pass on?

Again, Ben wasn't a Big name QB at the time of the draft. He turned out pretty good.

I think they call that 'coaching'.

Not sure what your point is... That by drafting a consensus 'name' QB, BIGGER THAN BEN, he might have... umm won a SuperBowl?
