Ben Roethlisberger's career has been a bizarre mix of mistake-prone football, and historic efficiency. I really have no idea what to make out of it, except that he's been exceptionally fortunate to be on the Steelers, and not have to answer questions about his failures as a player.

Winning cures all doesn't it? If the team he plays for wasn't as good as it is, heck, if their defense wasn't as good as it is, I'm sure he would hear some of the same questions Campbell hears.

I would say that to an extent, Steelers fans are more willing to give the benefit of the doubt to their own players than Redskins fans are. I would say, if Campbell's career mirrored Roethlisberger's we'd be just as high on him as the Steelers are on Big Ben, even though, there's not a huge difference between the two.

If Campbell had won two super bowls in the last four years doing not a damn thing different than he has done so, he'd be a "playmaker" too. He'd also still have a long way to develop.

And for Steelers' fans sake, I hope/expect that Ben's going to improve in the future. I don't know how many more years he can plan on having the best defense in football.

The Redskins FO should stand pat with the young group of WR we have. They will do just fine as long as we give JC time to get them the ball our wideouts will be tough. We have quick WR and big strong WR in Kelly and Thomas. They all have something different to bring to the offense. Remember this is their 2nd full season in the West Coast offense give them time. HTTR.
We don't need no Brandon Marshall, Plax Burress, or Chad Johnson they are big headaches.

Ultimately, I agree with this. The best move is no move.

There's not a huge difference between Campbell and Big Ben?!?!?! Was there a 2 for 1 sale on crack in your neighborhood? The final drive of the Super Bowl is the difference between the two. When has Campbell done anything like that? Ben flat out wins games for his team and is on his way to the HOF. Campbell is still a work in progress and could be a back-up the rest of his career if he doesn't break out in a big way this year.

Wait, when did Campbell mess up the final drive of the super bowl? Don't compare apples to oranges.

Relax, it's just one drive, and Campbell has plenty of time to match it. Who knows, maybe this is the year? Maybe not. Roethlisberger is this off-seasons' hot thing, but the next time he has a 4 INT day, his game winning drive in the Super Bowl last year won't be worth much, and he'll have to answer to his critics, just like Campbell will.
