Hopefully Ben Roethlisberger will behave himself in the off-season and comes into camp next year healthy and focused.  It took him awhile to round into shape, but he played much better in the second half of the season.  Roethlisberger started 15 games this season and completed 280 of 469 passes (59.7%) for 3,513 yards with 18 TD passes and 23 interceptions (75.4 QB Rating).  He also carried the ball 32 times for 98 yards (3.1 ypc) with 2 TD runs.  For his career, Roethlisberger has completed 644 of 1,032 passes (62.4%) for 8,519 yards with 52 TD passes and 43 interceptions (87.9 QB Rating).  He also has carried the ball 119 times for 311 yards (2.6 ypc) with 6 TD runs.

Charlie Batch did a great job backing up Roethlisberger, and the Steelers may have made the playoffs if the Steelers would have started him a couple of more games at the start of the season while Roethlisberger was recovering from his injuries.  Batch has played in 63 games (49 starts) and he has completed 801 of 1,423 passes (56.3%) for 9,801 yards with 55 TD passes and 41 interceptions (78.6 QB Rating).  He also has carried the ball 150 times for 616 yards (4.1 ypc) with 6 TD runs.
