Depends how you want to look at it....some would argue Haley's offense wasn't good for speed receivers but I think it is....they can use their speed the same...beat defenders in a footrace....only difference being they have the ball in their hands 5 or 10 yds from the LOS instead of 30 yds downfield. Sanders/Brown have the type of speed that if they make one DB miss on the tackle they are off to the races.
I'll take a high percentage attack where they get the ball in their hands more often, then one where your offense sucks unless you can connect on a 30 yard bomb.

The perfectly-thrown pass that enabled the toes...
And the only reason Holmes sprinted down the sideline was because Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie bit on Roethlisberger's pump fake to Mewelde Moore in the right flat, leaving a gaping hole in the secondary for Holmes to run through. Face it; Holmes' two big plays on that drive were set up by Roethlisberger.
By the way, Jim Plunkett, Doug Williams and Mark Rypien are Super Bowl MVPs, and Brett Favre is not. I guess Favre sucks, huh? Oh, and if Peyton Manning deserves the MVP award with a 65% completion rate, 6.8 YPA, one TD pass, two turnovers and an 81.8 rating in Super Bowl XLI despite Dominic Rhodes having over five YPC and a TD run, then Roethlisberger sure as **** deserved it with a 70% completion rate, 8.5 YPA, one TD pass, one turnover and a 93.2 rating despite all 58 yards and both YPC provided by the running game in Super Bowl XLIII.
Maybe the award is overrated anyway, considering fans get to vote like they do for the Pro Bowl.

Ben isn't the best QB out there, but no one can question is toughness. He won 15 games as a rookie, the youngest QB to win a SB, but more than the numbers he's the toughest QB to play the game.
Overrated? Nah, he just wants to win SB's. Since He's been our QB only three QB's have won multiple SB's, Brady, Eli Manning, an Ben. He helped the Steelers GET to three SB'S so again he isn't overrated in our eyes, we call it like it is....Ben's a champion!
Again, Ben is not overrated. I'm well aware of Bradshaw and his MVP award, what I'm trying to convey is Ben is a winner.
Maybe not in the numbers or awards but he got us to three SB's so no he's not overrated.
Let me put it this way, give Ben an O-line and a back that can run to balance this offense and Ben could get his awards, but he's not worried about his stats he wants championships!!!
