Big Ben has never gotten the credit he deserves

Big Ben clinched another AFC North title with a ridiculous 500-yard passing performance against the Ravens, but even though he’s won multiple Super Bowls and put up massive stats over an absurdly long period of time, he’s been overshadowed at every point his career by other quarterbacks who with more national appeal.

Early in his career, Roethlisberger was overshadowed by Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, and now he’s taken a back seat to a new crop of young QB’s that have grabbed the spotlight.

Sure, he’s never hosted SNL, and doesn’t have massive endorsement deals, but his on-field body of work is as good as anyone not named Tom Brady, and deserves to be acknowledged.

Carson Wentz will need to learn to run less to realize his NFL potential

Today, Philly fans were devastated today when it was confirmed that MVP candidate Carson Wentz will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL suffered on a scramble against the Rams.

Wentz has dazzled fans with his Houdini-like escapability and knack for moving the chains with his legs in crucial spots, but Colin believes that Wentz will have to discipline himself to win almost exclusively from the pocket to fulfill his full NFL potential and endure over time.
