EXACTLY
the dude has won 2 superbowls LARGELY because of defense (his 2nd having the greatest defensive play in superbowl history). His 1st superbowl ring was won in spite of him....over half the qbs in the league would have won that game with that team.

This is what you get when SUPER .edu guys try to out think the room.
I've lost count how many games Big Ben has WON games for the Steelers. Of coarse it's a fricking team game and it takes an entire team effort.
frick stats.....You are a moron.

the same could be said of certain QB's getting more credit than they deserve. Brady has not been playing behind a bunch of girls nor has he been throwing to Betty White.
I won't argue about Big Bens lack of Hall of Fame numbers because those are facts. But you are overlooking the other Variables that make a guy like Big Ben a perfect fit for an organization like Pittsburgh that gets it done without Tom Bradyesque stats.
I can live with that. Geaux Steelers.
