Patrick's on the phone.

What's up, Patrick?

Yeah, Patrick, I think you make some good points there because that is true.

I think natural ability, natural athleticism, Roethlisberger did have more than those other two.

I mean, Brady, there was a reason why the guy got picked 199 in his draft.

Now, Manning, I think he had some things on Ben.

He was the number one overall pick when he came out, went to the NFL.

But that being said, those guys were true students of the game.

They were crunching film.

They were going over everything, going over game plans as much as they were out on the field.

And yeah, again, along with the conversation that it was no secret about Ben not being a great teammate, it was also no secret that he wasn't crunching the numbers from sunup to sundown.

In fact, you would hear the opposite.

You would hear more people say, well, he would tend to be the last guy in, the first guy out.

Not the first guy out, last guy in that people usually want in those situations.

Wrong.

Ty Simpson with the 21st pick.

And we're going to play in a little bit here.

Draft analyst Jack Sperry going over Klatt's first round mock draft and how the thinking here seems to be that Ty Simpson would fit into Mike McCarthy's system pretty well.

I'll tell you this much, Donnie.

Whatever we think about Ty Simpson aside, if the Steelers go with a quarterback in the first round, boy, that sure does undercut all the Will Howard mania coming out of that building, doesn't it?
