CP3MVP Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 This thread was inspired by the Gurley Thread and where he compared to current RBs. Let’s say Big Ben was in his prime right now where would he rank among current starting QBs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s say Big Ben was in his prime right now where would he rank among current starting QBs? It's an interesting question because it's a bit tricky to determine when Ben's prime was. When he was younger he was a beast who could make incredible plays by shedding defensive lineman and improvising, but when he was older he lost his athleticism but became a very savvy passer whose pre-snap game was very sharp. I'd be curious to hear from Steelers fans when they think his prime was. I feared early-to-mid-thirties Ben more than Ben when he went to and won Super Bowls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFlaccoSeagulls Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Prime Ben this year would probably be the best QB in the league, which is simply a product of how weak the overall landscape of QB's are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagicMT Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Ben Roethlisberger isn't as good as Mahomes or Josh Allen. Maybeeee 3rd in the league but personally I'd still take Burrow and Hurts before Big Ben 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben had never been all that close to what we’ve seen from Mahomes… and the only case you could attempt to make would involve cherry picking his one best season out of all the years he played. Mahomes is projecting to be over 5000 yards and 40 touchdowns this season not accounting for a 17th game. He’s likely league MVP… but “not that impressive” to you? In a year where he lost Tyreek Hill? Some sort of bias here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerbertGOAT Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Anywhere from #3-7. He's a less mobile, better defense-reading Herbert. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah man you know me, regular Mahomes hater...lol if you want to put Mahomes #1 and Ben #2 fine but my point is that Ben, who was a regular maybe top-5 QB throughout his career, would be easily near the top this year because of how lackluster the QB play has been.

Danger Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Top 10, Debatably Top 5. But not Top 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soko Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 On 12/13/2022 at 1:49 PM, AFlaccoSeagulls said: Ben, who was a regular maybe top-5 Not really. He was never threatening Brady, Brees, Peyton, Rodgers territory when they were all at full-go. Early years he was competing with Rivers, Eli, Ryan, and Romo. Later on you had Luck, Ryan still, Rivers still, Stafford, Russ, Mahomes, etc. Ben had a couple sprinkles where was a top QB but for the majority of his career he was closer to 10 than 5. The Mahomes fatigue is real. He’s going to go for 5,000 and 40, again, and people will go “meh”. If Herbert or Allen or Lamar did that people would go nuts. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OkeyDoke21 Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 (edited) Pretty much what he was in his own era. Argued top 5, with a ceiling/floor within 2 or 3 spots of there. Edited December 16, 2022 by OkeyDoke21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
