The Super Bowl comes down to 2 key things but is one more important than the other. I would think considering if that one thing your talking about is Quarterback Play.

This Super Bowl has 2 stifiling Defenses but in the end it will come down to which QB can make more plays than the other. Aaron Rodgers and Big Ben Roethlisberger both have been through the fire with Rodgers and the Brett Favre Saga and BIG Ben through some well-documented issues off the field.

Perhaps looking at both QB'S let's get the Statistical Breakdown and who has the edge in the BIG GAME:

Aaron RODGERS 6-2 225lbs Throws Right Age 27

54 Games 1,611 Attempts 1,038 Completions 64.4% pct Comp

12,723 total yards 235.6 YPG 87 TD'S 98.4 QB Rating 124 Sacks

Beat YEAR

2009 4,434 Yds Passing 277.1 YPG 30 TD'S 103.2 QB Rating

NOTE: Has been the hottest by far QB in the PLAYOFFS with the ability to go outside the Pocket and make plays and also an uncanny ability to make throws across his body which most QB'S are told not to do. Maybe the Quickest release in the Game today just a pure nightmare for opposing defenses.

Has arguably the best WR Corp in the Game today with Jennings, Driver, Jones, and Jermichael FINLEY (who is on IR for the Season)

Had the luxury of sitting behind and learning from the great Brett Favre from 2005-2007 seasons. And came right into the fire in 2008 throwing for over 4,000 yards and erasing any doubters of the Favre-Less PACKERS.

BIG Ben ROETHLISBERGER 6-5 250lbs PLUS Throws Right Age 28

99 Games 2,800 Attempts 1,766 Completions 63.1% pct Completion

22,502 total yards 227.3 YPG 144 TD'S 92.5 QB Rating SACKS 274 Leads Planet EARTH

BEST YEAR

2009 4,328 Yards Passing 288.5 YPG 26 TD'S 100.4 QB Rating

NOTE: For what ever reason BIG BEN is never or not often enough mentioned with the elite QB'S in the BIZ. Maybe because he does it BACKYARD SANDLOT Style it is nvere or hardly a petty piece of work but all he does is WIN at a very HIGH Level and has 2 Lombardi's and working on a 3rd in just 7 seasons. Who else has done that feat outside of Tom BRADY.

Leads PLANET EARTH in being SACKED 274 times but 35% of those sacks are from his STYLE of holding the BALL too long and the POCKET Finally collapsing.

But to the STEELERS Credit that style has worked for BIG BEN and the STEELERS to the Tune of 60-26 Regular Season record and 8-2 in the PLAYOFFS....NUMBERS DON'T lie.....and BIG BEN has 2 Rings to show for that record.

So NOW THE QUESTION IS WHO WINS SUNDAY'S BIG GAME?......... The BLUEDUDE is rolling with the GUY with Unflappable Confidence and an UNHUMANLIKE ability to make the PLAYS when need be under all kinds of duress....BIG BEN....Rodgers has arrived but for this stage BIG BEN will take it to another level and at the end of the day.....BIG BEN will join AIKMAN and BRADY as the only 3-Time Super Bowl Winners

Buddy I know you're Steeler Nation but I still think Rodgers will out quick Pittsburg's D and squeeze the win.
