As I said I don't have a problem with the way Ben handles routine plays.
Carr is an idiot, will always be an idiot and I care less for his shock jock style of reporting or analyzing. He has absolutely no credibility what-so-ever. You want to call me a fool then have at it but I am not the one who is trying to defend the words of...David Carr.
Ben Roethlisberger Led NFL Last Season In Pass Attempts Into End Zone

I found a different perspective on this subject recently. "Routine Play". In the huddle the QB/OC calls 2 plays. If we see "X" we go with the called play. If we see "y" we run play 2. Huddle breaks and 11 players are looking for the same 'defensive tell'.
Not a "Routine Play". The QB waits until he gets to the line of scrimmage and reads the defense and the decides what play he wants, maybe after sending a guy in motion or after a few "Omahas" and foot lifts.
Even though Ben is pretty darn good at the 'no huddle' and improvising after the snap, the "Routine Play" stands a much better chance of success with all 11 players on the same page and not sitting in their stance for 20 seconds every play. If this is what David Carr is saying then I agree. However, coming from David Carr who's really listening?
Really??? Wow
So now keeping players in a stance to long means nobody is on the same page as Ben. WOW!!! Are you sure that both plays x and y are not both routine plays??? Maybe one is a "Routine" run while the other is a "Routine" pass???
I will say this again Ben does just fine at the "Routine" play if he did not he would not be a successful QB. Just in case you didn't know David Carr is an absolute idiot and it really makes me wonder how or even why anyone would ever try to justify the thoughts of an idiot.
It’s not about defending David Carr. He’s an idiot. David Carr aside. You wouldn’t want to see Ben better than he is? Lol. Okay. By that theory, we shouldn’t want to see James Washington or JuJu get better either...you know...just the routine catch? Maybe see Pouncey get better at stopping the routine rush? No?

For his prediction with Manziel it was just awful, but it was not his worst prediction in 2014 for Skip Bayless.
He also predicted in 2014 that in the NBA, Derek Fisher was going to be a more successful head coach than Steve Kerr and it was after both were hired (Fisher by the Knicks and Kerr by the Warriors)!
It is simple...
Steelers = clicks
First part of the off-season: derision. Result: clicks.
Middle part of the off-season: how will the Steelers climb out of this hole??? Result: clicks.
Last part of the off-season: the Steelers look gooood!!! Result: clicks.
Kurt Warner ranks the top 10 QBs heading into the 2019 season....Roethlisberger is 5th..
Today, I give you my #KurtsTop10 list ahead of the 2019 season. Again, this is simply a ranking of the quarterbacks who I feel are the best in the game RIGHT NOW. To eliminate some foreseeable disagreements (knowing we can't eliminate them all), I have supplied three factors I took into account when making my evaluations.
1) How does the QB play in the biggest moments? This includes third-down and red-zone situations, how he plays in the final two minutes of a half or a game when plays must be made and, finally, how he performs on the biggest stages in the postseason.
2) Decision making. Many break this down into a touchdown-to-interception ratio, but for me, it goes much deeper. I weigh whether the passer made the right decision on each and every play, which can mean varying statistical results. It includes questions like: Did he make the right read? Did he force a throw into coverage? Did he execute the timing, velocity and trajectory of a throw? Did he throw the ball away when needed? Did he take a sack when he didn't need to? Or was taking a sack the best thing to do in the given situation? I realize this is a big category, but that's what goes into playing the toughest position in sports.
3) Winning. We are in the business of winning games and competing for championships (and our jobs). So which players give their teams the best chance to win each and every time they step on the field? Yes, it's a team game, and no quarterback can win a game by himself, but no position has a greater impact on the success of the team than this one. Thus, it has to factor in.

5.Ben Roethlisberger
We're all interested to see how Big Ben fares after losing the other two components of the Killer Bs (receiver Antonio Brown and running back Le'Veon Bell) over the offseason. I think it'll be business as usual for the veteran passer. Roethlisberger might not lead the NFL in passing yards like he did in 2018, but I have no doubt he'll keep the Steelers in every game, as the 16th-year pro has done throughout his tenure in the league. What has impressed me most about Big Ben is his ability to win games in so many different ways. Early in his career, he made plays off-schedule. Then he transitioned to making big throws downfield with his strong arm. Now, he makes quick decisions and gets the ball out of his hands on time. It's the completeness with which he plays the position that gives him a slight edge over Russell Wilson. Speaking of ...

I still do not understand the talking point that we are losing 2, we lost Bell last year (he didn’t play for us!) Every time I see a headline saying we lost 2 major offensive ppl, I just skip it because the person writing the article obviously doesn’t know anything about the Steelers.
