His ego didn't want to "step down" from QB to WR.

Vince Young will wash out in no time. His stock will drop and he'll be out.

As a Steelers fan, I am glad to see them go back to a traditional QB like Ben Roethlisberger. I think Ben has had his "duh" moments (motorcycle accident), but he can throw, he can play and he can get the job done.
He doesn't have to rush for mileage to win the game.
I actually got to see Kordell Stewart and Rashan Salaam play in the Fiesta Bowl 12 years ago, in Tempe, AZ. As my dad was a Colorado alum, I rooted for the Buffaloes.

Salaam is a local boy (San Diego), but Stewart played well that day, beating Notre Dame something like 42-17.
