Did the ref mention it was a dead-ball penalty? If he did I just must have missed it.<BR/><BR/>As for Big Ben, he's good but I don't think he's "top 5" good. I'd say that's he above average and that's about it. Yes he had a phenomal rookie year, but he really wasn't expected to win games for the Steelers, just expected not to lose it for them. But with their solid running game and good defense, I don't think there was much pressure on him. At the same time I don't think he's as bad as his SB performance either.jhawkjjmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18297634924511036895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1161017320950252612006-10-16T12:48:00.000-04:002006-10-16T12:48:00.000-04:00If so many QBs could so easily do what Ben did and...If so many QBs could so easily do what Ben did and "play within themselves", why don't more rookie QBs...hell...ANY QBs have a winning percentage and a couple of years like his first two?

You picked up on my "Jarrett for No. 1" thing...Aha! You picked up on my "Jarrett for No. 1" thing. I'm thrilled about that.<BR/><BR/>There's a couple of things:<BR/><BR/>(1) Oakland will almost assuredly have the No. 1 overall pick. Do they need a QB like Quinn? I'm not sure Walter isn't good enough to pass on Quinn. Do they need an RB like Peterson? I'm not sure they would want to give up on Jordan. O-line? Defense? Well, there doesn't seem to be an O-line prospect worth the No. 1 overall pick and, after using last year's Top 10 pick on Huff, can you see the Raiders holding back their urge to make a splashy, offense-first pick?<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, the Raiders will likely need WR help. Not just because Porter is all but done with the organization -- but because Moss is, too.<BR/><BR/>Who better to replace him than a player, Jarrett, who is not just the best WR in college football this season, but is arguably one of the Top 3 WR in college football in the last decade? (The only one I'd put up with him is Larry Fitzgerald and Moss himself.)<BR/><BR/>Let's see: A big-play WR and a team desperate for big-play contributions (assuming they drop Moss...or even if they don't). Seems like a good fit to me.Dan Shanoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08126386161198401693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1161006796445041892006-10-16T09:53:00.000-04:002006-10-16T09:53:00.000-04:00Just to be clear - this week Dan you're pushing fo...Just to be clear - this week Dan you're pushing for the Dwayne Jarret as the #1 pick?
