NASHVILLE --- Since Ben Roethlisberger joined the Steelers, we’ve been treated to many epic quarterback showdowns.
Four times already, it’s been Roethlisberger vs. Tom Brady. Three times, it’s been Roethlisberger vs. Peyton Manning. Twice each year in the AFC North, it’s usually Roethlisberger vs. Carson Palmer, the No. 1 overall pick of the 2003 draft.
In the ’04 draft, Eli Manning, Philip Rivers and Roethlisberger went first, fourth and 11th overall. It’s been Roethlisberger vs. Eli twice already and Roethlisberger vs. Rivers four times.
Last year, Roethlisberger finally got to play against the ageless wonder, Brett Favre.
Yet today when the Steelers renew their rivalry with the Tennessee Titans, an old AFC Central Division adversary, we will hardly be getting a classic QB match-up. Dennis Dixon vs. Vince Young? ..................
