    Flacco still stuck in Roethlisberger's shadow

    Flacco still stuck in Roethlisberger's shadow
    By Scott Brown, PITTSBURGH TRIBUNE-REVIEW
    Saturday, January 15, 2011



    Big arm, big period and the ability to elude opposing pass rushers and make plays out of the pocket.

    Dick LeBeau attributed those qualities to Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco. When it was pointed out that he could also have been describing Ben Roethlisberger, the Steelers' venerable defensive coordinator smiled.

    "I think it's a fair comparison," LeBeau said. "We have the experience factor."

    Flacco doesn't measure up to Roethlisberger in another category, one in which quarterbacks are ultimately judged: legacy-defining wins.

    Much in the same way the Ravens are stuck in the Steelers' shadow
