    There are many issues on the team - Ben isn't one of them. Trying to say otherwise is just pretending.
    I didn't say it was all Ben's fault, I stated that some of the question marks rest on Ben's shoulders. Ben may be the least of the question marks, but he is one of the question marks, not physically, but mentally, see the last year's Cowboys and Bengals games, those were brain cramps by Ben.

    Ben was playing CRIPPLED.. but even then, thats better than what any of the back ups could do.. you realize he came back early from a SERIOUS injury wearing a heavy vest? BB isn't the problem.. so much as his health was.. Heez a winner. He wasn't the same player when he came back tho.. his confidence was shook.. He admitted.. Can't fault the guy for that..

    I'm now utterly depressed about the season. I'm glad Crash brought me back down to earth.

    Thus the name "Crash" (no matter what he calls himself today)




    In view of the fact that Mike Tomlin has matched Cowhers record I give him the designation:

    Agreed, Ben played broken up. Who can fault him for not looking like himself? I can't.

    You are finally RIGHT but miss the reasons WHY.

    We are too dependent on Ben.
    In my disputes with Crash I always pointed to BALANCE as key.
    Having invested in the RUN GAME with interior line picks and a RB hopefully THAT changes, which will be key to turning this around.

    Of course "Captain QB" would understand the obvious logic of this.
    Crash on the other hand would not.

    So please Captain QB do you agree that we need more balance?
    Or perhaps you are indeed Crash and will put up some silly argument to counter what I've said.

    BTW, I do like the new name....."Captain" puts you in elite company.

    Of course I took the name "Captain Lemming" because you... I mean ahem "Crash" would routinely call me a "Lemming" for defending the Steelers.

    Now YOU call yourself Captain QB ....and you defend the QB no matter what.......just like our friend Crash would.

    I do see the parallel, and YES I do take credit for the appropriate nickname you have chosen.
