Big Ben is at it Again; 3rd Super Bowl Appearence in 6 years

       Although his numbers were not great in the AFC Championship game, Ben still pulls off the win against the tough Jets who would not go down without a fight.

       Not too long ago, Ben Roethlisberger was suspended the first 4 games of the season for.. (we know what), but has the resilience to bounce back from social chaos and carry his team to the Super Bowl. Winning this one will only anger those who believe he was guilty.

      It's hard to put your money against someone who has the second highest winning percentage total in Post season history only behind Bart Starr. his 10-2 record leaves him at No.8 in all time wins in the playoffs, better than Peyton Manning and right behind Tom Brady.

      Although the numbers of Brady and Peyton Manning are better than Big Ben, Ben has a freakish body for a quarterback which gives him the intangibles that the other two wish they had. An example, stiff arming a whimpy tackler and throwing the ball down field simultaneously. His ability to make plays when the play seems dead is why he is playing for his 3rd Super Bowl. I'll take him over the other two guys.

      If Ben can manage to win this Super Bowl against the Packers, it will be his 3rd which would tie him with Brady as most Super Bowls among active players. He is a hall of famer in my eyes when its all said and done, and he may have the most Super Bowl rings as a starting QB, only trailing Montana and Bradshaw who have 4 each.
