Kudos to a rookie QB from a former Rookie Quarterback of the Year….

From Jim Corbett, USA TODAY –

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger intercepted Cincinnati Bengals rookie Andy Dalton Sunday at the end of the Steelers, 24-17 victory Sunday and told the kid to hold his head high.

In the eyes of Pittsburgh’s two-time Super Bowl-winner , the fifth quarterback chosen in the April draft is the best of a talented 2011 quarterback class — better than first overall pick and Carolina Panthers sensation Cam Newton; better than Jacksonville’s 10th pick Blaine Gabbert and Minnesota Vikings 12th overall pick Christian Ponder.

“I think that he (Dalton) is playing the best out of all the rookie quarterbacks,” Roethlisberger said. “The other guys have numbers. But he makes some great throws.

“I told him, ‘We”ll see you in a couple of weeks, but you’re playing lights out.”
