    Same comparison as Roethlisberger<=>Rodgers.

    Roethlisberger - run around and find an open spot, I'll get it to you
    Brees - your in-break timing needs to be on point

    Rodgers was also great to extend play when he was younger...So often he had a first down with his legs on 3rd down and 9 when the opposing defense had great coverage on his receiver.It was so frustrating for the opposing defense!

    Aaron Rodgers and Big Ben don't belong in the same sentence. Aaron Rodgers is easily a Top 10 QB All Time in the 100+ years of NFL History. Big Ben isn't.

    Of course he can be in the same sentence. Ben is seen as a top 20 QB and can argue he deserves to be higher. He can’t be in the sentence for best ever but neither can Rodgers.

    its all about media perception. If the media likes you and your a good interview, like Brees or Manning, they’ll hype you up, give you commercial opportunities, etc. If your like Ben, not so much.

    Ben was never drafted by a team, and then the team drafted another Qb higher because they didn't believe in him, Brees was, and before people say it was because Brees was hurt, you are incorrect. Brees was injured after they had already drafted P. Rivers.

    Those pictures are a little unfair to Ben.

    Ben has his head turned to see all the glory of that look he was rocking.

    Brees had that straight on shot that hid the small squirrel attached to his cheek.

    The officials have screwed Ben once again. I'm going to appeal the league!
