As for Kordell, sure he had weaknesses.  Ben has weaknesses, too.  It's amazing how a couple Super Bowl wins make everything better.  I'm not saying Kordell is better than Ben but I don't think it's fair to say he wasn't "good" either. Only about 30 QBs have ever won a Super Bowl.  So by that criteria, there are a lot of HOFers who sucked.  I love the fact Steeler fans only care about championships but it really is unfair to people like Kordell.

There's no mystery to it, Hines even confirmed in several interviews after the game that his injury was something people miss 6-8 weeks for and he was insane for trying to play in 2.  I'll definitely post an update if any new information comes available but that's all there is to it so far.
