whats the thought on him for this year? he had a huge year last year in one of my money leagues, ranking 4th overall among qbs. anyone expect him to perform near the same level?

Looks like I will have a choice of him, brady, wilson, or romo with my next pick.

Out of those I would go Big Ben. No reason to think he can not repeat what he did last year.

If you like inconsistency Big Ben is your QB.

Uhh... I guess he was pretty inconsistent with 20-44 point games from his regular 10-15 points?

He's the only QB I'd reach for in round 5 then just wait until round 9-10 for Bradford (I won't use rounds 1-4 on a QB unless it's Rodgers/Luck in R3-4).

Three games against the Colts, Ravens and Bengals accounted almost 35-40% of his production last season. Depending on your scoring system.

He had 8 games last year that barely hit 20 points or under depending on your scoring system.

So 11 out of 15? That's pretty consistently good IMO

Big Ben has pretty high ceiling.

High powered offense with great weapons and a piece of shite defense.

The consensus from pundits would be to take Wilson though.

Rodgers/Luck are on level of their own. Wilson/Ben/Brees/Peyton to me is a tossup and who you like better.

8 games with 1 TD or less and coming off a career year at age 32 with regression very possible. Especially when he had the NFLs leading receiver and 2nd best RB (receiving yards/TDs added). You're banking on them to not regress as well.

Ben is still a solid QB but he's not top 7 worthy. You're drafting him based on a career year which his ADP is too high of a price.

I'd put Ryan in the 2nd tier. He had one of the top 3 worst O lines last year and they have added depth and are healthier this year.

Kyle Shannonhan with Julio Jones plus a crappy Falcons secondary will put up huge numbers for the Falcons passing game throwing the ball behind in most games.
