Isn't the Steelers record when he throws over 30 or 35 times in a game atrocious? I forget the exact stat, but it shows that the Steelers do not have success when they make Big Ben win games for them.
Top 3 QB's win games, not manage them.

This seems to be pretty good proof of what an earlier poster said, it isnt that they lose when they let Big Ben go wild, its that they only need to throw a bunch when they are getting stomped. Thats why he had 8 games in '06 like that, probably not that he developed some kind of Rex Grossman disease and started audibling out of runs 20 times a game to disastrous results.

Yep, this stat on Ben is bogus beciase it mixes cause and effect. Plus, the flip side is a good runningteam like Pitt will be pounding the ball in the 3rd/4th quarter when they are winning.
