2010 NFL Season Thread

I don't know why everybody thinks he went to Cory-Rawson. I know that one news article said it, but I played against him in high school. His senior year he played QB at Findlay, I was a sophomore on the sidelines from Fremont Ross. He DESTROYED us big time. I don't recall the score, but I remember the result. We got zero pressure on him and we had nothing for pass defense. I swear they won by 50+.

Because the douchebag changed his 'hometown' on his official profile to Cory Rawson, OH. A 'town' that doesn't exist.

I heard there's almost as much betting action on wh ether the blockhead from Findlay tries to assault Fergie duringthe halftime show as there is on the over/under. Isn't Cory Rawson the name of a waitress he assaulted back in 2007?

That is funny. She may have to watch out for Clay Matthews as well.

Sorry, I didn't mean to confuse you. I'm well aware of where he went to school. (As Warthog said, it was a jest about where he states that he's from.) My wife taught in Findlay during his tenure there. They had to widen all of the doorways just so they could get his inflated ego through them....

Talk to anybody from Findlay (probably not now that he's a serial rapist) that has never met Ben and they'd tell you what a great kid he was and how awesome it was to have such a great kid playing in the NFL from Findlay.

Talk to anybody that has actually ever met Ben and they'd tell you he's a Grad A Douchebag whose ego couldn't possibly be any bigger.

Personally I find it VERY easy to hate this asshole...I truly wish for him to be severely injured, and he's the only athlete I've ever felt that way about. The guy is a jackass and deserves to be knocked down a few pegs.

That being said he's a tremendous QB, and seems to be vastly underrated, IMO. I know he doesn't put up the raw numbers of a Manning or Brady, but he's the best improvisational QB in the NFL, and his ability to keep plays alive and make something big happen is just jaw-dropping. I'd love to have him on the Browns, even with his baggage. As much as I love Aaron Rodgers (and I do) to say that GB has a huge QB advantage is just false, IMO. On a single game basis there is nobody, IMO, that has a QB advantage on the Steelers. Ben may not put up the huge numbers over a season as the others, but in a single game he's just as good as any of 'em.

Roethlisberger rarely gets the credit he deserves. Winning in the NFL begins and ends with your quarterback and the Steelers win. The guy could have three super bowl rings by this time next week. That's as many many as Brady and two more than Manning. All three of them do it in different ways but in no particular order I believe those are three best quarterbacks in the league. You don't have to throw for 300 yards, 3tds, and zero interceptions to be a great quarterback. You have to win games and more importantly win playoff games. He does that as well or better as those two other guys I mentioned. Ben extends plays that no other quarteback can and freezes defenses better than anybody. He will take sacks and he will throw interceptions but they are usually the type that don't hurt the team. His sacks are often on third down and his interceptions are often thrown far down field so they are much like a punt. I would take Ben on my team trailing in the fourth quarter before anyone else. Sometimes you have to leave your Browns haterade aside.

Perhaps if he wasn't such a DB he'd get more credit. From what I understand he hasn't changed since high school. (Cory-Rawson...or is that a town?....errr, ummm)

Can't argue with the DB part

I somewhat assumed that is what you meant, but you know what they say when you assume, so I wanted to be sure.
