> [@TwoForty](#): > > what about big ben’s interception? that was a stupid mistake that the city of pittsburgh is ignoring. it was a ball that was totally forced. a veteran QB would have thrown that ball away. lets compare stats from this past game of a rookie QB to a veteran. you tell me who is better the kid through 1 interception and you think that is worse then a hot dog receiver fumbling the ball on his way to the endzone. ---

I think plax is a moron but when you are dominating a game like that you can afford to do things you normally would not do. I think plax picked up his game a lot in the past few weeks and is becoming one of the league’s top recievers. ---

first off he threw a pick in the game that tommy maddox got hurt in. i give him all the credit in the world for doing what hes doing. im not bad mouthing him but alot of people arent realizing hes a ROOKIE. hes going to make rookie mistakes under pressure. NFL PLAYOFFs are pressure and there are reason that a rookie QB has never won a superbowl but with the way things are going for pittsburgh this year there is a first time for everything. ---

bus will play the same as last week, thats why is a backup. he is just not some guy they picked up off the street to play the position. why would we get rid of Bell? granted he has had a ton of problems with health, but when he is healthy and definitely changes the game. Ben to me is showing a great deal of Leadership for being a rookie QB. but he knows that he is still learning the Pro Football game. my prediction is he takes us all the way, he is tough and smart just needs the experience which he is learning each week. ---

Ugh… Are you the same tard that said Jerome was done for and Duce could handle the load all season… There is definetly a benefit to having to big backs, and yes Jerome could do it for a few games in a row, all season I doubt anyone can run with that kind of attacking style all season… The players are too big, fast, strong, and the season is a lot longer to be a full time bruiser back. People can’t take that kind of punishment in and out for 22+ weeks, not including playoffs. > [@TwoForty](#): > > very impressed at his play! my question is do you think he could step in next week if duce cant go and do it again? ---

People can’t take that kind of punishment in and out for 22+ weeks, not including playoffs. i didnt say jerome was done and i understand all the reasons to have more than one back that can play well. the steelers arent always a run attack team tho. they played that way against the eagles because they had success. i think your average back can handle 25ish carries a game for a season.
