in years past when Pitt. had an awesome running game and the league didn't slant the rules toward the forward pass Ben would throw less than some of the so called elite QB's
certainly NOT THE CASE NOW.
this past season..
pass attempts per game this past season
Ben Roth..34
Manning..36
Brees...42
Romo...40
Brady....39
Rodgers...34
and Steelers will continue to throw and then throw somemore..
the rules are slanted toward a pass first league and will continue to be slanted that way..
if Ben sticks around he will surely entomb himself in that pass happy crowd..
Who is bringing 30 points to the party..
Ravens brought 34 points when it mattered the most..
This years stats are tilted because of many reasons. They have no running game, turnovers, and playing from behind most of the season will force you to pass. I dont think Pitt wants to be a pass dominant team. And with Wallace leaving they wont. They solidified their offensive line problems last year in the draft. This year it will be a stud rb. Ravens got alot of breaks thruought the playoffs. Kickoff returns, defensive scores, turnovers, and a home run pass once or twice a game hardly means bringing it offensively. Flacco managed the games and moved the chains when he had to, time to pay the man. Ravens will have to devote big money to their qb, just like everyone else. Enjoy...
