I know this is yet another Bortles thread (sigh), but I have a Ben story since the OP wants to talk/compare about him.

Roethlisberger's time at Miami, OH they were still in the same conference as Marshall University. His last season there, they hosted Marshall for the annual game. We traveled up there to watch it, and he put on a show.

It was ridiculously windy that day, "hurricane-like" (okay, not an actual hurricane, but you get the point). Anyway, both teams had the ball 2 qtrs with that wind in their face.
- Marshall's QB tried throwing in it and it was like we were watching a game of "duck hunt" (Bortles type wobblers)
- Roethlisberger in the face of that wind was throwing absolute darts; he looked like a rifle out there.

It was really something to behold, impressive. But, I hated him back then, and then he got drafted by the freaking Steelers (ugh).

I'll be glad when his playing days are finally over.
