Worst superbowl qb performance ever. You could have plugged in any qb and win the superbowl with that team in 06. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubble Screen Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Ward is indeed a douche if he questioned his toughness. Especially when it was out of Ben's hands. But the OP was right. Ben was absolutely awful in that SB win over Seattle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big ben had very little to do with their success. The rb's touched the ball more then big ben did. Hes job was to hand the ball off and let the defense take over.

No_Pressure Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 dude went 14-1 as a rookie, including winning the super bowl. i guess i want the skins to be "awful" He didn't win the superbowl as a rookie. He went 14-1, they made it past the Jets in the divisional playoffs and fell to the Patriots 41-27 in the conference championship. In 2005 he guided the Steelers to an 11-5 record, (9-3 regular season for Ben, 2-0 for Batch, 0-2 for Maddox), and thats when they beat the Seahawks 21-10. His 10/22 123 yards 0 TD, 2 INT passing performance was one of the worst of all time by a superbowl winning QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeroburrito Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 i think he's extremely overrated and a bit of a queen, but to question his toughness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Hines Ward comes across as an ignorant fool in that clip. i think he's extremely overrated and a bit of a queen, but to question his toughness? That could apply to both Ben R. AND Hines Ward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman#21 Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Wow i had alot of respect for Ward before that, and i gave him the benifit of the doubt when he was named dirtiest player, but after watching that interview he came across as a jerk. Big Ben is the franchise QB has won 2 SB and is only getting better. Questioning him shows one thing, and that is jelousy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't Ward the MVP of that Superbowl, while Ben had one of the worst performances of an sb winning qb ever? It's wrong of Ward to blame Ben though. Ben knew how important that game was and if he said he cuoldn't play, he couldn't play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 That was a bizarre interview. Something is not right in that Steeler locker room. They are playing like a team that doesn't communicate much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llevron Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I dont know if what Ward said was so wrong. To me he just came off as being honest. In his experience, when your hurt and you can still play, you suck it up and still play cause you never know when your gonna get that chance again. I thought the same thing though. If Ben wasn't the starting QB, or if he had someone who he saw as a threat waiting for his chance sitting behind him. I would put money on him playing that game. Basically, if he thought that missing games would put his job on the line he would be out there. He didn't, so he didn't feel the need to play.

Larry Brown #43 Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I'm starting to really dislike Hines Ward, and not just because of this. When the Steelers played the Chiefs at KC a couple weeks back, Ward scored a TD and then did a mocking tomahawk chop to the crowd with this gigantic smile on his face, like he was hot **** or something. Can't put my finger on it, but something about the look on his face at that moment made me want to punch him. Then the Chiefs came back and won the game in OT. I thought that was hilarious.

BKSkinsFan Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Am I the only one that took from that interview that Hines was just being honest about how many players lie about injuries and not specifically calling out Ben? He mentions they are split on should he play or shouldn't he play, could possibly be taken as somewhat of a call out, but he's saying that only because Ben practiced all week. IMO, typical media making a story out of nothing. The whole calling out his toughness was only brought up Dan Patrick and Harrison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stickyshooZ Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Rodney Harrison and Tony Dungy are right. Concussions are no joke, and you can't just think of yourself as the football player in the present. You have to be willing to ask yourself how it will effect you 20+ years from now, as a father, a husband, etc. In the end, it's still only a game. But there's no price tag taht you can put on how dangerous concussions are to your health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
