I remember something Aaron Smith said when asked to compare Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, two of the greatest quarterbacks of his or any generation.
"We feel like we can rattle Peyton," Smith said. "Brady, not so much."
That was a decade ago. Smith was a terrific defensive end on some great Steelers defenses. Manning and Brady were in their prime, building foundations that will make them first-ballot Hall of Famers.
Imagine how the Steelers must be feeling today when they face Manning and the Denver Broncos in an AFC divisional playoff.
Manning will be 40 March 24. His body is broken. He is playing on a bad left foot and has no mobility. He has lost his ability to throw the ball down the field. He is not a better choice than backup Brock Osweiler to start the game, although Osweiler is dealing with a right knee injury.
And Ben Roethlisberger is supposed to be the quarterback with issues today?.........
