Been a patriots fan my entire life, but it’s honestly amazing seeing this all happen. This is truly an end of an era, an unforgettable quarterback who fell off in his final years. It’s really pretty crazy looking back onto what his career was now. Starting in rural Ohio, being drafted to the Steelers and leading them to championships and numerous playoff appearances. In 15 years they won’t have think of him as the washed up quarterback he is now, they will remember him as the incredible quarterback he used to be. He will end his career 140 odd miles from where it started

Ben Roethlisberger has the most underrated, underappreciated career in QB history. READ these stats: 5th all time in wins 5th all time in passing yards 5th all time in completions 3rd all time in game winning drives 3rd all time in 4th quarter comebacks 1st all time in 500+ yard games 1st all time in perfect passer rating games 13 playoff wins, 5 conference championship games, 3 Super Bowls, 2 rings The Steelers have had ZERO losing seasons since drafting him 18 years ago. Without question, that body of work COMFORTABLY has an argument for Ben being a Top 10 quarterback of all time. And yet, it's like pulling teeth to get the media to consider him for even Top 15 or Top 20. THEE ONLY stats Ben is low in, are "human voting stats" (MVP's, All Pros, etc). Ben battled "opinion polls" like those awards his whole career. The media hated him, the refs allowed opponents to tee off on him more than other QB's without flags, he accomplished Top-5 all time major category throwing stats in an ALL OUTDOOR COLD-WEATHER division, filled with snowy, windy, muddy weather harder to put up numbers in. He did it through so many surgeries, concussions, and broken bones that we've all lost count and yet somehow managed to play to nearly 40 years old. He did it from a small mid-major school to 15-1 in the NFL AS A ROOKIE! He's a historically great winner, too. His 5th all time in wins isn't like other stats because the number of games has remained relatively stable over the generations, between 14 and 17 since 1972. So in the truest sense, Ben was supremely talented at doing the single most important role as quarterback, which is find a way to win. I hope the Hall Of Fame CORRECTS Ben's career-long underappreciation by voting him in on the FIRST BALLOT.

@@ArobismeLet me try to offer an explanation for this person since they never did. Talented does not mean best, you can be talented but not have that manifest as much as someone with less talent. Talent, imo, is basically natural ability vs learned ability. He is saying, I think anyway, Ben was the most naturally gifted qb at the time. I think there is a legit argument for that. He had a very strong arm, could thread the needle, scramble, throw defenders off of him, run, and do it all while playing at easily over 250 pounds. Most great qbs can only do one or two of those things very well but in his prime Ben had the ability to do it all well. You could argue he wasn't the best at some of them and I'd agree, but he was always top 5 or so at every one of those things til he got too old. And he of course had a good mental game, one of the more naturally clutch players I ever saw, he nearly always played lights out when it was desperation time.

Great video, full of memories. I have been blessed to watch this man lead the Steelers. He's doing his best right now, but Father Time is undefeated. He has won against Big Ben and the offensive line.

I will always be thankful for 18 years of Big Ben! He may not be the same to watch but he still has all his grit. Best 18 years of 36 years of being a born and bred Steelers fan. Met Ben more times than I can count, keep it humble as always Ben!

Because he had the better game. When Roethlisberger was throwing to Holmes he was 9-13 131 yds 1 TD. When he was throwing to everyone else he was 12-17 125 yds 1 INT. On that touchdown drive Holmes had 73 yards. And it wasn't just the touchdown that got it for Holmes, it was the catch and run that set up that last play.

@@toddwynn3397 if u watch the play before Ben pump fake got Holmes that open . Just watch him draw 29 off when he pumped and acted like he was going to check it down . Then the saftey was late trying to pick up Holmes. If it wasn't for Ben the Steelers would have lost that game. Period. take ur stats and say what u want but that game winning drive was all Ben .

@@randymoyer9505 That last drive was at least as much Holmes as it was Ben. You can dismiss the stats, but Roethlisberger was an average QB when throwing it to anyone else. He was only an MVP when throwing it to Holmes, pump fake or no pump fake.

@@toddwynn3397 Big Ben threw a perfect pass to the left corner the previous play that the "MVP" let go right thru his hands. Then the actual MVP gave the bogus mvp another chance to be a hero. That is something Big Ben has been doing for 18 years. That is giving other teamates a chance to be a hero.

I hope he can return and have a good season at least, he may not have as good of a season stats wise at 2017 and 2018 but hopefully he can recover. I hope he can play 2 more seasons and fulfill his contract. Steelers can't think QB in the draft this year in 2020 due to their lack of draft picks but have to be looking for the QB of the future in the 2021 draft

Ben should have been SB MVP of 43. One of the 10 greatest throws in NFL history. People forget how mobile he was in the pocket when he was young. Now we have a young QB in Rudolph, who in the pocket is about as stiff as Franco Harris' statue at the Pittsburgh Airport.

Why do people hate this man. He has a spot on all the record lists. Has a top 5 superbowl of all time. Has the old school NFL play style with the new school stats. Plays through injuries. Full on lays out for his teammates (see shoe string tackle for the bus). Has comparable if not better stats than Brady and Peyton but gets no where near the talk. I don't get it. The steelers were a powerhouse and could at any moment beat any team from 2007-2015. Even once they lost their God tier defense because of Ben. Just don't understand the hate. He's first try HOF for sure. And sry colts fans but better than Peyton because he can work outside the plan and make it happen instead of folding like a lawn chair at the first sign of pressure. BTW the Santonio Holmes TD in 09 superbowl was the single greatest throw in the highest pressure situation I have ever seen including all of NFL highlights since inception. It's a fight on site if you disagree since you're lying to yourself and me.
