One of the best young QBs in the NFL today! Is extremely UNDERRATED for all that he does. Youngest QB to ever win a Super Bowl and did so winning 3 playoff games on the road as a strong (11-5) 6th seed. Only team to ever accomplish this. Has an unprecedented 27-4 record as the Steelers starter.
Fans of other teams (see; jealous) point out that he only throws 24 times for 200 yards a game and hands the ball off a lot, so that must make him overrated. What these uninformed people don't see is that he throws about 20 of those passes and about 180 of those yards in the first half alone, jumping out to a big lead on his opponents. Then in the second half, the team protects the lead by running the football and thus, running out the clock. So, he does most of the handing off in the second half of games to protect the lead. Otherwise he could easily throw for another 180 in the second half of games as well. He would rather win a game then worry about padding his stats (see; Peyton Manning) which he could do if he really wanted to. He's all about team first and that is why he has won a championship so soon in his career. And still being so young (24) can only get better with more experience.

In Denver on January 22, 2006, the Steelers beat the Broncos 34-17 to advance to Super Bowl XL against the Seattle Seahawks in Detroit. Ben Roethlisberger completed 21 of 29 passes for 275 yards and an astronomical 124.9 passer rating. He threw for two touchdowns and scored one himself on a four yard play-action bootleg; his run was the last touchdown of the game, and sealed the win for the Steelers.
He threw for 189 yards and 2 TDs in the first half alone building up a 24-3 lead at halftime.
