Like a lot of uncomfortable truths, the Powers That Be would like to sweep this one under the rug. The Saints would like you to forget about defensive end Cameron Jordan scoffing yesterday at the idea that Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger is a top-five QB of this era and a sure-fire Hall of Famer. That’s why they scrubbed the video from the team website yesterday of Jordan’s incredulous response to a reporter’s assertion in the affirmative of Roethlisberger’s credentials.
But Cameron Jordan has a point. Ben Roethlisberger is, generously, the sixth best quarterback of his generation, and though he probably will get a first ballot Hall of Fame nod, he probably shouldn’t.
