Is Ben on the decline?

He still has the fire, but his abilities seem to be fading. There seem to more bad results than good when he extends the play, sacks, fumbles, incompletes, and interceptions. His fourth quarter ability to come back or even hold a lead have almost disappeared. How often do we need one more first down to run the clock and we can't get it. Also, his red zone passing is falling off, he can't get the ball to a receiver in the end zone.

I think next year will be another injury prone, inconsistent year like this one, then after that he will be an average quarterback. We need to start developing the next QB son.

This may be the dumbest thing I have ever read on any message board.

He very well could be, he has taken a beating his entire career. I too
would like to see what he could do with another OC and better OL.

Just a quick comment from an Old Man...I suffered thru endless average or less QB's from the time Bradshaw retired until Ben took over the offense. I watched O'donnel throw away a SB and watched Brister, Stewert and others struggle just to be mediocre. Every time a healthy, or even slightly banged up Ben takes the field I feel good about our chances. i did in his rookie year as a game manager and I still do today.
I agree he needs to check down more and at times our game plans leave me scratching my head but he is still one of the best qb's in the NFL and with our O line issues we NEED him
