Right this minute big ben might be the most overrated american athlete in history.
It boggles my mind that we've gotten to a point where people realize that win-loss record is a pretty terrible way to judge pitchers but many still want to do it with qbs.
Big Ben is like a guy who goes to work and does average work most of the day, causes problems that are cleaned up by excellent co-workers, doesn't contribute a whole lot and then 10 mins before quitting time comes up with a solid idea, not brilliant mind you just solid, and afterward people just talk about how he's "an idea guy" and forget about all the fires he started.
We should all be so lucky to be judged the way he is

QB's as a whole get too much credit for a team's success. But when you win 3. You are a HOF'er.
Ben is having 4000 yard seasons. He is not terrible. He is average in playoffs. BUT he is a cold weather city QB. When they have home field they play on a shitty field with shitty conditions. This hurts overall performance.
Favre did play in Green Bay but he played 20 damn years so he was able to amass ridiculous numbers. And he never had a top tier RB except for 2-3 seasons when Ahman was in his prime.
Is Roethelisberger like Trent Dilfer? No.
Is he Joe Montana (my pick STILL for GOAT)? No.
