sanctified Veteran Posted November 9, 2004 Veteran Share Posted November 9, 2004 http://nfl.com/news/story/7865503 Just a preview of the entire article: Calling Ben Roethlisberger the NFL's best rookie has become trivial. NFL Network NFL Network Analysis, opinions, features and more! Field Pass Listen LIVE to NFL games, plus watch video news and features of your favorite team. Best rookie? He achieved that status weeks ago. Roethlisberger has ascended to an entirely different level. After deftly guiding the Pittsburgh Steelers to a 27-3 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, he must be viewed as a legitimate candidate for league MVP. Go ahead. Try and make a stronger case for another player, or specifically, for another quarterback. There are other good ones putting up spectacular numbers, but when you factor in results with performance, Roethlisberger must be on anyone's short list. I think we can assume, safely, that indeed Roethlisberger has... "something else", he is playing a a pro level, he is going to have, easily, the best rookie season ever for a QB, now my question is, how many times a rookie of the year has been nominated to be the mvp?

Steffan Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Think of all the teams that passed on him. I don't think he will be the MVP this season. I think Manning has that lock up. Roethlisberger will be the MVP for many seasons, just not this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
