“Good Luck to Who’s Next” - Rich Eisen on Ben Roethlisberger’s Retirement & Career (Warts and All)

Excellent breakdown. The one thing that should be mentioned is his game-saving shoestring tackle against the Colts. Easily one of the most important tackles of all time, considering they won the Super Bowl that year

Three more overlooked records by Ben Roethlisberger: 1. In 2007, he became the first QB in NFL history to have two games with a perfect passer rating in the same season. Only Lamar Jackson has joined him since, in 2019. 2. He has the most regular-season games with a perfect passer rating in NFL history (four). However, if playoff games are included, then Peyton Manning ties him. 3. He did not turn the ball over in any of his three 500-yard passing performances in the regular season, and he won all three of them.

[@rstevens1836]

I will hate Ben forever for ripping apart my Hawks in that super bowl, but he has my respect as a great player and longtime Steeler, now a Steeler For Life. Good luck in retirement Ben. Stay away from bikes and girls. 🤣 Oh and best of luck Steelers in building a new era after him.

[@mariosmith8456]

Ben roethlisberger should be first ballot hof. Ben is third all-time right behind Brady and Manning for win percentage with at least two hundred games played. He also has the stats to hang with the big guns like brady, manning, Rogers and Brees but he's more of a winner than Rogers and brees. The only two quarterbacks of his era I would put above him for sure are Brady and Manning. You could argue that brees would trade all his superior stats for another couple super bowls and more winning seasons.
