Big Ben a 'Great QB'? Stop the Insanity!

[TucsonDevil]

I can't take the pundits anymore! Big Ben does exactly one thing well, he escapes pressure due to his 'Linebacker' size and avoids sacks. Otherwise, he is questionable in accuracy, decision making, and leadership. The Steelers are a great team due to Defense, Defense, and Defense. He avoids making crucial errors, but that is due to the difficulty in bringing him down... most QBs make the crucial errors because they have to get rid of the ball in pressure, or take sacks. Big Ben is... well, just big.

In my book of 'Great QBs', you will find those that lead teams to victories, over and over again. Names like, Montana, Elway, Young, Aikman, Kelley, Brady, Staubach, Marino, etc... A QB that 'doesn't lose the game' has no place in this book.

Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.

He made the plays when he had to but calling him a great QB, just another reason you want to win those games, history is written by the victors.

He's won two Super Bowls. He's made plays to get his team there, and made plays today to win the game.

I'm not a fan of his, or of anything that wears black and gold, and I'm pretty sick right now. But Big Ben could QB my team anytime and I'd be happy.
