"I know people say I hold the ball too long and take too many sacks," Roethlisberger said. "But I'd like to know how many other quarterbacks would have taken a sack there. Time was running down. We were low on timeouts. I'm just going to keep fighting for every yard. I'm always going to fight for everything for my guys."
What some will call his achillies heel is what makes him Great!!! This is what I love about Ben he holds on to the ball and is always trying to make a play!!! I remember peyton manning saying there is no contest to see who can hold onto the ball the longest. What he fails to see is that by holding onto the ball longer it gives his receivers time to get open. Yes at his linemen and his own expense but it's a price that Ben is willing to pay!!! I love it and I admire Ben for having the guts to be a tough as nails QB!!!
