Surprisingly enough I found this article on Ben and the Steelers insightful to say the least. Hadn't seen it posted here. IMO, suggested reading for any Steelers Fan.

On Boston talk radio Friday, there was a guy criticizing Brady's deep ball. The hosts references this year's leaders in completion percentage in passes 20 yards and beyond. Ben's first; Brady's second.

Ben has always been the one of if not the best medium to deep ball throwers in the nfl

Back to the article.
There isn't a more arduous Ben defender than me. I love that he is a Steeler. But the author compares his supposedly false accusation to Deflategate.
Along that line of thinking, I have no doubt what so ever that Brady was complicent in Deflategate. Similarly, I don't doubt for a second that Roethlisberger was on the shady side in Georgia. I never wanted him expunged or deported from Steeler nation, but I don't doubt that there were shenanigans on his part.
Considering this, I always dislike reading articles that affirm or reiterate his innocence. It never feels right to me.
Anyway, whatever happened in the past, Ben has used it to his benefit and become a good man and teammate. He deserves a lot of credit.

BEn got set up by the mother hen and the loose accusation girl

I dunno about that. He's guilty of trying to get laid in a very poor choice of venue. The rest....maybe he did, maybe he didn't. I'm glad he's grown up. I believe he's paid his penance.
