It is a very good text!

2. By a show of hands, how many people thought when the Steelers would be down by 10 in the fourth quarter of games, from 1990-2003, the game was as good as over because if the Steelers had to throw the ball, they would lose?
Because the NFL is now a passing league, you can not be a team the relies on the ground game, or when you need to throw, you can't. In 2009, there were many games that the Steelers lost because the defense could not stop the other team from passing.
Who remembers the Steelers final drive against the Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII? Could we have won that game without Roethlisberger? Do you trust any other QB the Steelers have had since Bradshaw to lead that drive?
Steelers fans that long for the days of "three yards, and a cloud of dust", need to re-evaluate the NFL in 2010.
If you want the success the Steelers have had over the last five seasons (two Super Bowl championships), then you have to grow to accept that the Steelers are not the team that you rooted for growing up.
The reason for that success is Roethlisberger.
Prior to the start of the 2010 NFL season, no one gave the Steelers a chance at even making the playoffs, let alone challenging for the Super Bowl. Once Roethlisberger is back, and the offense is playing like they did in 2009, watch how many talking heads on TV are on the Steelers bandwagon.
