Ben would have gotten it worse behind that skins line than he would have in a jailhouse shower.

Still...a mere first round draft pick for roethlisberger? yeah, they are kicking themselves.

Given what they paid for a guy equally or more talented than Rothlisberger... they aren't kicking themselves at all.

I honestly have never thought Big Ben was anything more than just good though.

I like Mcnabb. I always have. But he is getting old and he has taken a lot of hits. He is certainly on the downside of his career.

Benro is in the midst of his prime and he has two skins on the wall.

You can't build around Mcnabb anymore. The window is small. With Roethlisberger, you have plenty of time to grow as a team.

I'd have to disagree - though last year was a precursor to things to come - now minus Santonio Holmes.
The guy got it done with a suspect line (now exposed) no running game and a decent receiver corps... D kept them in contention ( and you saw what impact the absence of Palamolu had) last season...There is not much left there since the SB.... he'd welcome a change I'm sure.

He is more of a natural fit to the existing Redskins scheme than McNabb is, though as a lifelong Skins guy, I'm not complaining either way

You mean you weren't excited to see another year of Jason Campbell taking an hour to run the two minute drill?

Dont be expecting an improvement with two minute drills. Thats one of McNabb's most glaring weaknesses.

Another liability of taking on Roethlisberger is that he is not allowed to do any team activities until suspension is over. So if he was traded to another team, he would need to learn the offense rather quickly once suspension is over.

Besides Pitt, who else could he succeed this coming season? Arizona maybe?

I don't think he will be traded but the teams that need him: Raiders, Bills, Browns etc..... aren't winning this year. He would be OK because his contract is reasonable for the next 5-6 years.
