Ben Roethlisberger won't admit it, but his teammates do: The lack of respect he's receiving -- in spite of all-time elite numbers -- is driving him once again.

PITTSBURGH – With Ben Roethlisberger (http://pit.scout.com/a.z?s=68&p=8&c=1&nid=4835663) enjoying a breakout season of sorts, many within the Steelers organization viewed these playoffs as a chance for their quarterback to get his due as one of the game’s elite.


The thinking behind the front lines a couple of weeks ago went something like this:
If the seeds hold true, Roethlisberger would have a chance to defeat Peyton Manning (http://pit.scout.com/a.z?s=68&p=8&c=1&nid=4876731) and then Tom Brady (http://pit.scout.com/a.z?s=68&p=8&c=1&nid=4913464), the two quarterbacks considered the class of the league these days.

Alas, the New York Jets (http://nyj.scout.com/) stole Roethlisberger’s thunder by taking that path themselves. It set up an AFC Championship Game of physical defenses and alleged “game manager” type quarterbacks, and nothing makes Rowthlisberger cringe more than the term "game manager"..........

“Is he unorthodox? Yes, but we know he does good things and does them well for us. I know every time we’re in the fourth quarter he’s not going to quit. We always have a chance to win games. I’ll take that over all of them. I wouldn’t trade him for any other quarterback out there.”

Neither would I HInes!

Love Ben. He is a winner. While it would be nice to be recognized by the media to be an elite quarterback, I'm sure his peers believe he is.
