Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger Named AFC Offensive Player Of The Week

Interesting conversation on the radio this morning. AB leads all receivers, Bell leads all rushers, and Ben is around 100 yards in second place for passers. The question was, has there ever been a team that lead the league in all 3 offensive categories? They also said this fact dilutes the voting and decreases the odds of any of them winning MVP, all of them playing in the same offense.

Only team that had the talent to come close was probably the 99 or 01 Rams.

Warner
Faulk
Holt
Bruce

Warner threw for 4k yards in 99 and 01

In '99 Faulk had over 1k rushing and over 1k receiving.

'01 Holt and Bruce BOTH had over 1000 yds receiving

Ben Roethlisberger Putting Up Impressive Numbers Since Jaguars Game

Don’t look now, but Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger appears to still have it. After throwing for over 500 yards and leading his fourth game-winning drive in the past five weeks, the 14-year veteran is seemingly settling back in after coming out of his mental retirement that many seemed to place him in.

For somebody who is looking to have one foot out the door in retirement, Roethlisberger is certainly not making it easy on himself. Following a career-high 66 pass attempts in the last game, he now averages more passes attempted per game than any other player in the NFL, currently sitting at 38.6 per game.

He is also now second in yardage with 3744 passing yards, averaging 288 yards per game. After going 10 regular-season games without throwing for 300 or more yards, he has three 300-yard games in his past six, with a 290-yard and 299-yard game thrown in.

Since the dreaded Week Five loss to Jacksonville, in fact, his numbers have gotten much better. Through the first five weeks, he had 120 completions on 195 pass attempts for completion percentage of 61.5. He had 1269 total passing yards, averaging 253.8 yards per game, and just 6.5 yards per attempt. He also had six touchdowns to seven interceptions with a 75.8 quarterback rating.

Eight games later—half of a full season—he has completed 318 of 502 pass attempts for the aforementioned 3744 yards, averaging 7.5 yards per attempt with 24 touchdowns and 13 interceptions

And a quarterback rating up to 91.1.

Just imagine how better this offense would be if we called the plays.

In fact, this offense would be better if Haley would not be there ....

The steelers had 3 punt in the game against the ravens and 2 of the his punt was because of Haley.

The first One was because of a terrible 3rd down call in the 3rd quarter and the other was also in the 3rd quarter when the steelers ran with the ball in the first 2 down with an extra o-line who put the steelers on 3rd down and long .... it was stupid and predictable....Haley was just lucky to have Roethlisberger and Kurt Warner in his career ....

Just imagine the sucky QB we would have when Ben retired after being capitated in Arians' if Arians hadn't "retired".

Ben builds the perfect QB:
