Do Steelers need QB to win?
By JUDY BATTISTA
New York Times


Pittsburgh Steelers Coach Mike Tomlin had just returned home Sunday night when he contemplated a not-entirely-facetious question: do the Steelers even need a quarterback to win?
Tomlin said he would not be disrespectful to the spin-the-wheel-of-fortune roster of quarterbacks who have filled in for the suspended Ben Roethlisberger in the first month of the season. But what might have been a crucible for the Steelers — a month without a starting quarterback, plus injuries to the top two backups, would have torpedoed just about every other team in the N.F.L. — has instead turned into a crowning moment.

We need Ben to win numbers7,8,and 9!!! The defense proved they can win gmaes for us but we need Ben's style to win it all I believe.

This is ridiculous.

We need Ben to win a Super Bowl in Dallas.

3 years ago, the Pens lost Crosby for 2 months(NHL) and have won many games, but they needed to go to Crosby in the finals or winning the cup.

Same in the NBA, the Lakers have won four games in a row without Kobe Bryant during the season, but they needed him to win the championship.

The Steelers have been 26 years without winning the Super Bowl(although they often had good team under Cowher), because he did not have a franchise QB and it's no coincidence that the Steelers have 2 super bowl since they have Ben.

Play-offs defenses are too good to get by w/o a QB. The Ravens pulled it off once, but that was against a Giants team that had been accused of the same crap the Patriots pulled just before they could use the same shenanigans in the Super Bowl.

Pretty Much everyone has already said this on the actual comments page of that article.

With Terry 4 Wins (franchise QB)

Without Terry prior to Ben 0 SB Wins

With Ben (franchise QB) 2 SB Wins.

You don't win in the playoffs without a great QB. Sure, once in a blue super harvest moon some team pulls it off, but in the end, we have shown that our Team needs a Great QB to actually Hoist a Trophy. I'm good, I don't need anymore Playoff losses or AFC Title Game Losses with a "backup" QB or a bumb that throws 2 critical interceptions in the biggest game of his life that ends the game for us. EFFING NEIL!!!
