*The BEST ROOKIE QUARTERBACK IN NFL HISTORY!!!
*Led Pittsburgh to the Playoffs and Almost to the Super Bowl!!
*Really hott!!!
*He broke Dan Marino's 20-year-old rookie records for pass-completion percentage and passer rating. He earned the AFC offensive rookie of the year, the NFL Pepsi rookie of the year and the Dapper Dan Man of the Year. His No. 7 jersey was the league's hottest seller.
*The Roethlisberger who performed in playoff games against the New York Jets and New England Patriots was nothing like the one who dusted off 13 previous opponents. He completed 57.4 percent of his passes, threw three touchdowns, five interceptions and had a 61.3 passer rating, far off his rookie regular-season record of 98.1.

Roethlisberger's Steelers went 13-0 in the regular season, more than double the perfect record of any previous rookie quarterback and a record never achieved by any, rookie or veteran.

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.

(N) Refers to a quarterback who seems to have trouble hitting a reciever, even if it were a simple game of catch. Also finds a way to get picked off, and always finds a way to suck major balls.
Wow, he threw two picks against the Browns, and it's only the first quarter of the game. What a Ben Roethlisberger!

The most overrated quarterback in NFL history who would be absolutely nothing without his runningbacks. Widely known for his amazing ability to hand the ball off, and dump the ball off to his receivers ten yards away, who make moves and eventually score a touchdown, which he gets credit for. Will best be known for his lack of leadership skills, and his inept ability to make Joey Harrington look like Joe Montana.
Yo did you see that 49ers-Steelers game on Sunday? Ben Roethlisberger attempted 12 passes, and was picked off twice!
Holy crap the Steelers threw for a touchdown...oh, that was Randle El throwing.

What it's called when a chick makes up random and baseless charges of sexual abuse for blackmailing purposes. So called because a random bar skank accused pro football player Ben Roethlisberger of rape in order to obtain a cash settlement.
To pull a Ben Roethlisberger is unfortunately highly affective due to the fact that it completely stains your reputation and is one of the very few instances in which the accusers word alone is enough to totally impugn the accused even if there is no evidence. Ben Roethlisberger is known for raping even though the charges were dropped, when Ray Lewis killed a guy and got away with it and now he's doing Old Spice commercials
Male persons in high status positions of power in all professions should be wary of women looking to pull a Ben Roethlisberger.
