Who is your favorite steelers on the current roster and why?

Out of this entire roster and why? Not the MVP but just your favorite player. If you must  can pick 2 , just want to keep it short and sweet. I'll go first.

Ben Roethlisberger is my favorite player in professional  sports. He has always been under rated was always humble about it. Now that people realize he is a future hall of famer and a top 3 qb he remains humble. He is so much fun to watch because he plays with so much love for the game his team and the fans and I truly think he appreciates us. He may not get to be on commercials because he is a fuckin bad ass and I love that. probably the best qb the steelers have ever had.


I'll take Le  Veon bell as my second Choice There are many others deserving. But it is a thing of beauty to watch bell run. He is unlike any body else. He is as good of a wide out as he is a running back. This man never gets tired and he NEVER fumbles. If he stays healthy and has a long career I believe he will be the best to ever play the game. His patience in unparalleled . If he puts up a 100 yards a game people are disappointed because they expect 175. He may be the best all around player in the NFL and should get serious MVP consideration and with vicks lack of chemistry with brown Bell is carring this offense on his shoulders. Off the field he is a riot and seems like a cool guy from what I can tell.  Very humble. Very smart, and he's hilarious on post game interviews because he talks so fast lol.

On a side note I can't wait until we are all healthy with this new defense tuitt, heyward, shazier if he's healthy, harrison, cockrell are all really impressive and doing much better than anyone expected. We are legit Superbowl contenders once this team gets healthy even if we are 9 7 or 10 6 we will have a great shot at a Superbowl.

Le'Veon Bell, Heath Miller, Heyward, Timmons, Ben

troy p is my all time favorite player

current roster is Ben. just because

James Harrison is my all time favorite. I've been impressed with him since he was on special teams.

Bell is my second pick. I never thought we'd get a running back who I would enjoy watching as much as Bettis, but he is so much fun to watch.

This entire team is fun to watch it wasnt like that for a few years. I love it. Fire Arian's... That was like 5 I said 2 stop being a rebel lol

AB
Timmons
Ben

All time:
Greg Lloyd  

Current:
Ben, Bell, AB, DD, Heyward, Tuitt  


.

Take a guess.

Besides the obvious, Antonio Brown. His work ethic and background is inspirational.

Offense: tie between Brown, Bell and Heath
Defense: Tuitt

Ben is my current favorite with AB being second. My all time favorite is Jack Lambert. He was just plain nasty. They used to say he even hated himself.

All time favorite Steelers:

Offense: Hines Ward, Ben Roethlisberger
Defense: James Harrison, Brett Keisel

Current favorites:

Offense: Ben Roethlisberger, Le'Veon Bell, Antonio Brown
Defense: James Harrison, Lawrence Timmons, William Gay

Football is for me still defense, even in today's nfl. So my 2 players are on that side.

James Harrison: He's the last player who's left of the team when I started to watch games. He's a beast and he's mean
Ryan Shazier: He reminds me a bit of Polamalu (my all time favorite). Different position, but he plays with a lot of energy, he's a strong tackler, is speedy and has a nose for where the ball is going to be. But he's made of glass

Offense:
Ben and it's not really that close for me.
People get caught up in stats but at the end of the day like Ben has said all along Ws and championships are what you will be remembered by.
As I've said in other threads I wouldn't trade him for anyone even at their current peak, not Brady, not Peyton, not Brees, or even the current God of all QBs A-a-ron Rodgers.
There's plays he makes that none of the above could make even if they wanted.
Here's a few off the top of my head:
2007 vs Browns - the 30 yard TD run, longest of his career.
2008 @ Jacksonville - the pass to Ward where he has 3 guys draped all over him to complete a pass for a first down which then lead to the winning score to Ward again on a fade route
2009 @ KC - he back flips one of their linebackers and then does a nice touch pass over top of another defender to HHHHEEEAAAAATTTTHHHH! for the TD.
And lastly of course THE DRIVE from XLIII.
Other guys I've enjoyed past and present on offense: Parker, Ward, Heath, AB, Bell.

Defense:
Polamalu for sure.
The scoop interception against the Chargers was unbelievable. His amazing ability to somehow time a QBs cadence to dive over the line numerous times to get the sack just as he gets the ball on the snap. And lastly the clincher to ice the AFC title game in 2008 with a pick 6.

Other guys that we're/are fun to watch:
Joey Porter - the only football player I can really think of that would chirp another guy and then go and back it up. It sucked when they had to release him but that's pro sports.
Harrison - He always looks like he's on a mission
Heyward and Shazier.

All-time: Franco and the Bus

Now: Bell

Maybe there's a theme.

Antonio Brown, b/c he's filled the void we initially had when Ward retired.

All time: Jerome Bettis-he is just the epitome of what the Steelers stand for. A down to earth guy who just worked hard.

Current: Le'Veon Bell and James Harrison

You just have to love Bell's vision and cut making ability.
James Harrison is just a gym beast.

Just to get some new names going here:

Offense: Wheaton: I'm excited to continue to watch him develop, but I already see a major difference between last season and this season. He is refined, stronger, faster, running great routes, and I think he has great vision too.

Defense: Cockrell: He seems to have great presence on the field, his fumble recovery in the BAL game was incredible, he looked like a top notch receiver keeping his feet in bounds.

BR7. Why? Because he's been my favorite QB since HS.

Bubby Brister was the QB when I was in High School.

Dri Archer. He's so awesome.

shaun suisham because he is not josh scobee. #stiff #fail

Offense: Bell

Defense: Tuitt is quickly becoming a fan favorite of mine. Also, Heyward.

Does Pittsburgh have one of the best interior defensive lines in football all of a sudden?

Tuitt and Heyward are like burritos and pizza.

I love both.


.

Ben... LB is getting close though

Heath. He doesn't get the attention some other TEs get, but he has quietly become one of our all time leaders in receptions while being primarily a blocking TE. I like his lunch pail mentality.

On defense, I'm going with Tuitt. It's hard to believe the guy is barely in his 2nd year.

Honorable mention goes to Greg Warren, just because SOMEONE has to give some love for our long snapper! Remember, his backup (James Harrison) is not very good at long snapping.
