That's not the question. The question is would you take Ben AND his 100 million dollar contract.
I don't care if he wins 5 super bowls. If you're going to pay him like that for performance and he's got a sub 85 QB rating, well, then you're throwing away money. If you're a great organization like the Steelers, you could win those playoff games with someone else.
The Roethlisberger deal is pretty ridiculous. It will look fine as long as they are winning, but once the victories dry up, he's going to be the most overpaid athlete in professional sports.
