    John Harris of the Trib (Who is black btw) did after one pre-season game.
    What does that have to do with anything? Last I checked, Byron Leftwich is a man of color as well.
    I guarantee that if Dixon were to start, and even go 2-2 and they insert Ben? Harris' next article will be how they are holding back a "young promising black quarterback" and instead are playing Ben despite his alleged past.

    He hinted at it when he first wrote his article, but he didn't come out and say it.


    and if Harris were to come out and say that he would look like a racist himself...

      There was a time not too long ago where you said if the fans were still sour on Ben and Dixon went 3-1 or 4-0 Ben would/could find himself on the trading block.

      Harris didn't come right out and say it..... but you know it's what he wanted to say because????

        He hinted at it when he first wrote his article, but he didn't come out and say it.
        Are you talking about "this" quote:

        "The Steelers don't know what they have in Dixon, who performed well in his only NFL start at Baltimore last season but lost 20-17 in overtime. At this rate, they might never find out. However, if Dixon opened the season 4-0, his potential as a young quarterback could spark some debate about the Steelers allowing the kid to continue playing.

        The Steelers' strategy to limit Dixon's reps with the first team is a safe move, but that doesn't mean it's the right one."


        Look closely Crash. The "some debate" he talks about is not expressed as being "HIS" opinion. He says there could be be a debate if Dixon does well. Guess what? Who around here says the EXACT SAME THING?

        YOU CRASH.

        His opinion is that fear of a debate should not keep the team from giving Dixon a chance against Leftwich. Dixon versus Leftwich (not Ben) is all the article is about.

        Dont believe me?

        Next Harris article:

        "First things first. Whoever begins the season under center has no bearing on Ben Roethlisberger's role as the franchise quarterback. It's Roethlisberger's team. You don't sit talent and money. Roethlisberger has plenty of both."

        This is expressed as HIS opinion Crash. Contrary to what you just said.

        HARRIS SAID HE BELIEVES THIS IS BENS TEAM NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS.
