Tomlin backed Roethlisberger every time, which is why he is even named. It's really not a secret that they chose the QB over the others.

Two big-name QBs missing fairly considerable time.
I haven’t watched the GB Vikings game yet, was Cousins truly that aweful?

Well and truly. Literally threw the game away.
His QBR was 4, it would have been better to not let him try to be a QB.
Woah! Excited to watch! Not what I expected given a 16-21 score line.
The Vikings started really slow on defense but totally dominated the game after the first quarter while Cook made their run defense look like they were still in college.
1st and goal with 5 mins remaining and one score down and run game doing well, he inexplicably drops back invites pressure and throws to a double covered player ending up with INT. Killed the drive and fight back. Inaccurate throws at clutch situations all game, fumbled the ball once and even the TD he finally threw was almost an INT.
Except most of the issues with AB last season didn't involve Roethlisberger. AB yelled at his coaches and no-showed practice, threatened to break a reporter's jaw, threw furniture off a balcony while a kid was walking below, sarcastically tweeted that he should be traded etc and Roethlisberger's involvement in all that was limited to defending AB. Hell even Tomlin only fined him a small amount for the no-show and publicly defended him on multiple occasions. Even in the final incident, Tomlin didn't "back" Roethlisberger, he benched AB not for fighting with Ben but for claiming injury to no-show practice:

My god, after years of watching some consistently average QB play (playoff run aside) seeing Lamar play the way he is.... Man it's so exciting.
Jesus. 5-26 against teams with a winning record as well. Who is your backup?
Mannion. The worst part is that last week he was a bit upset because he only had 10 passes to throw and blabbed about how the team would need him if they need to win 52-51.
I mean, they would need him to get injured and for Mannion to be the second coming of christ to win 52-51 so he's got a point.Mannion. The worst part is that last week he was a bit upset because he only had 10 passes to throw and blabbed about how the team would need him if they need to win 52-51.
Excluding the monster gain, his YPC was less than Jones was it not?
Brees being out could help him in the business end of the season, as he seemed to trail off late last season.
The obvious problem with that is playoff games in Nawlins are a different proposition to those in Seattle or Atlanta.

He did. Jones is a bit strange he is a pretty good running back but he seems to be as likely to get no gain than he is to get 10 yards.
Best QB of his type since Vick.
You were right in believing in him. I didn't thought that an NFL team would give him a chance.
Can't argue with the results. His throwing technique while it doesn't look pretty, is certainly effective. Add in his running threat, and he could be devastating.
saquon barkley is really having a transformational effect on the giants

It looks like he's done the one thing that makes him very effective - become a good passer. Otherwise the running would be completely one dimensional and would get found out pretty quickly. Now that the passing game is strong, it causes all kinds of problems for opponents in terms of how to stop him.
Yeah, he’s the ultimate dual threat now. Opposing teams have to commit safeties over the top, in which Hollywood Brown helps him a great deal. If you have someone else spying on him, the RBs simply run wild. Basically a cheat code and another juicy matchup looming against the Chiefs.
Jalen Ramsey btw, wow. Would be a perfect fit for Houston but unfortunately won’t happen.
Because he got into an argument with his coach
ringing endorsement of yourself Next guy going to the Pats?
Damn straight.
I went to law school in Philly, when they won the Super Bowl it was a lot of fun that night. Since then it's amazing how much I enjoy seeing them lose (now I don't live there).
Pats really have Dolphins & the jets in their division ffs
The team traded away the best receiver and anyone good on defense, the o-line is still a mess but yeah having Sam Darnold instead of Saquon would have solved everything you're right.
Buffalo are crap too. Are people just figuring out that the Pats benefit every year form basically getting 5-6 free wins each year because the division is a dumpster fire? Peyton had a similar thing going in Indy lot of those years.
This guy knows
Mnf is so bad . These two commentators are absolutely terrible
I’ve been trying to say that for years. Literally the easiest route to the playoffs. I’d like to see how easy it is for them if they played in AFC North or if they moved Baltimore to the AFC East (Dolphins then being shifted South + Colts shifted North). Hell, the whole dynasty started with a dodgy ref’s call and nowadays it’s practically a meme that refs favor the Pats.
It’s a 1000x better than having Chris Colinsworth.
Joe Montana also had the same ol' sorry ass Rams in his division.
Utter rubbish . SNF is a 100 times better
Didn’t they have more teams in the divisions back then though? How was the structure in the 80s?
Steelers get minkah Fitzpatrick for a first round pick
I'm no expert and I guess it's subjective but hate listening to Booger McFarlane. Thank God they abandoned that pitch side chair camera thing. But that's meant listening to more of him on the commentary.
Browns look poor on offense. Or maybe Gregg Williams knows him so well.
I think jets would still lose but it would at least have been a better game with Darnold

Wow, I'd imagine that's gonna be a high pick too.
