Ben = factor back.

Roethlisberger is a very good QB, but he is not Brees or Rodgers.

The lack of respect Ben gets on this board is amazing

Guy is a great QB with two rings, yet some people on this board don't include him in their top 10 QB's

He's a fringe top 5 QB in the League

Outside the pocket/On the run, Ben is the best in the League

I am not even going to attempt to argue one over the other, but all 3 have won Super Bowls, all 3 are great QB's. But if this is soley based on results, Ben gets results. But so do the others. It's hard to argue with his argument. I was listening when he said it.

Ben shouldn't be able to count one of those.

His team won his first SB despite his performance.

Rings aren't the measure of a player's greatness in a TEAM sport.

Oh, and name your top ten QBs.

I'm not defending Hodge at all

I agree that Brees + Rodgers > Ben

However, Ben is in the 5-7 range of QB's in the League, imo

Seems whenever we have threads like this people claim he isn't anywhere near the top 5 and some say not in the top 10

When you have to support your argument by cherry picking scenarios, then we know your argument is weak...

So the big plays by the Saints Defense didn't help Breese win the SB? I would go so far as to say that Rogers was more impressive than Breese was in his super bowl.

HUH? Big Ben was 9/21 for 123 0 TD and 2 Int in the game he is talking about.

Brees was 32/39 288 with 2TD and 0 Int.

Good thing Brees rode those big defensive plays huh.
