Storylines such as whether Cowboys Stadium could hide in Brett Keisel's beard mercifully have waned.

The most significant subject that figures to unspool in Super Bowl XLV is the duel between the two quarterbacks who staged a shootout last year in Pittsburgh.
Don't look for Ben Roethlisberger and the Green Bay Packers' Aaron Rodgers to combine for nearly 900 passing yards like they did in December 2009. But the most important position in football will loom large in the outcome tonight if history is any indication.

Quarterbacks have won three of the past four Super Bowl MVP awards and a disproportionate number of them in the game's history. It easily could have been four given the way Roethlisberger marched the Steelers down the field for the game-winning touchdown at the end of Super Bowl XLIII.

Since becoming the 10th quarterback to win multiple Super Bowls, Roethlisberger has fallen from grace and then rescued his career from the wreckage he caused with reckless off-the-field behavior.

The backdrop that Rodgers takes into the meeting of NFL royalty tonight makes him no less a compelling figure........................

While both QB's are fantastic in their own right, if the Steelers need that score with the seconds ticking down in the 4Q, my money is on Ben. :thumbsup:
