| Re: Redo the 2004 QB draft
The difference is though, look at what Big Ben had to begin with. Ben got on a good team who had a bad year, the defense was already pretty solid, and all they were missing was a QB. At this point, it's still a toss-up to me. Roethlisberger definitely has the talent, but it'd be hard for me to circumstantially say that I'd definitively take Roethlisberger at #1. I don't think Ben would've been blowing us away in New York, or San Diego, it's a tough call. But it'll be interesting a little bit later to try and figure it out.
Another thing that's not really said about these is the coaching, Cowher was the coach of Pittsburgh and he runs the ball a lot more(I would think no research was totally done). I don't know how Roethlisberger would've responded in Schottenheimers system or in Coughlin's system. So it's def hard to tell.
Now if you want to go with who's been more successful, probably Roethlisberger. Especially with his Super Bowl ring. |
