Big Ben's NFL Debut as called by Steelers radio (WDVE), 2004

Tommy Maddox gets injured and Ben Roethlisberger makes his regular season debut in September 2004 as the Steelers battle the Ravens. Listen for Myron Cope's prediction about Ben's career.

Love the posture of Ray Lewis in the end. It’s like he realized what he’s going to have to put up with this guy the rest of his career. Also love hearing Myron in the broadcast again. I miss him.

Ben's rookie season still the best rookie QB season . He won all his regular season starts and only lost 1 in post seas in AFC championship game against the Patriots. See u in Canton Ben thank u 4 18 great years.

Ben had a great career and obe of the best in NFL history. It is ashame that he actually cwas unappreciated because he played during the Brady , Manning Era. But thank u Browns 4 passing on hom in 2004. He gave us Steelers fans 18 years of strong , great QB play. Was meant to be he did wear black and gold on draft day lol. Thank u Ben 4 18 great years of Steeler excitement. Plus 3 SB appearances with 2 wins. Can't wait 2 see u in Canton.
