Is Ben Roethlisberger the most overrated QB in NFL history?

PTI is debating who will go down as the greatest QB? Brady or Big Ben. Really? What kind of debate is this?
Big Bens 1st super bowl: 9-21, 123 yds, 2 ints & .221 qb avg.
Big Bens 2nd super bowl: 21-30, 256 yds, 1 td, 1 int & 93.2 qb avg.
Greenbergs argument was that he "extended the pocket." Yes, ok, he also has one of the best o-lines in the NFL... And he leads the league in sacks! Brees, Brady, Manning, Rodgers and Rivers get that pressure but they step up in the pocket and get rid of the ball.
I admit, I dislike Big Bem pretty good. I also dislike Rivers just as much. But I respect Rivers. I just do not get the love for Ben.

Please tell me they did not actually debate this in a serious manner.

Ben doesn't get pushed around by girls in bars.

No, not even in the conversation.

Big Ben is an improviser.
I don't mind QBs like that.

Not unless Joe Willie Namath is erased somehow...

I agree with most of your post... but not this. His line is average.

he's up there.
Too many in the media (and not doubt in this thread
) Have just taken this notion of judging QB's on titles to a biazzare level. On the whole ida of "clutch" plays. Its not worth debating anymore really. People believe what they want. Guy plays like shite for 56 minutes, completes a key pass on 3rd down and he's a guy that makes "winning" plays because his team won the game. Never mind the margin of victory was a defensive TD.

the whole rings factor is a bit over-rated imo

Hell nah Ben is not overrated. If anything underrated.

I think he's incredibly overrated. He's very good, but not elite.
Think of it this way...for next season would you take any other QB in his place or would you like him where he is?
I'd take:
Brees
Brady
Manning
Rodgers
Rivers
Ryan
and maybe even Vick over Big Ben.

Not even the most overrated QB in the history of the Steelers. Bradshaw won 3 Super Bowls and is considered great despite around a 1:1 TD:pick ratio, while I think Ben is better and is being called overrated by some on here for simply being called elite.

The guy is going for his 3rd NFL championship and he is only 28 years old. He is the most clutch quaterback in the NFL and there is no way in hell he is overratted.
