There are plenty of players about whom there are plenty of myths. This guy has bad hands, when he really doesn’t. Another has fumble problems when he really only has two in his entire career. And plenty of players who absolutely don’t deserve that slapped with the label of injury-prone. The Pittsburgh Steelers’ Ben Roethlisberger, at least in this stage of his career, is one such player.
It’s funny, because there was recently a segment on ESPN’s Get Up show that illustrates my point. There was a panel about the Steelers and expectations for next season, which included Ryan Clark, Dan Orlovsky, and Jeff Darlington.
