    How important is a franchise QB? 13 of the last 14 Super Bowls have had either Brady, Manning or Roethlisberger in it.

    He doesn't really have a #2 receiver out there, just think if Hines in his prime was on the other side.

    Ben had a couple of low throws.
    Must have some type of injury that will require offseason surgery?

    Ben was pretty good last night and made some big throws when he needed too bottom line. The play calling was somewhat suspect at the goaline and must improve but overall Ben was good last night and made more plays then Alex Smith.

    Ya, uh, Ben led this offense up and down the field at will. Two dropped TD's made it look worse than it was. The pick wasn't on a bad throw. He was pretty good tonight.

    yea, i'd have to agree he's the least of the 4 left right now but that is still pretty good compared to not having him and the others not in the final 4.:cool:

    No. I'll agree on Rodgers (#1) and Brady (#2), but not Ryan - yet anyway. He's playing very well right now, but has still not matched Ben's achievements.

    Rodgers is making passes nobody else can make. Just insane frozen rope throws into windows the size of a bread box.

    At this point in their careers, it's hard to argue Ben is better than Ryan. Matt Ryan is likely going to win the MVP and if I'm being honest, he's probably going to win the SB too. The way he spreads the ball around is super impressive. He's not Rodgers, no one is, but Matt Ryan is playing better than Rodgers is right now and is going to win a shootout next week.

    Yeah, Ben is the least of the 4 left, but in all fairness, the other 3 are arguably the top 3 in the game right now. It shows how important a franchise QB is.

    I think its fair to say he is playing the worst of the 4 currently but if you need a 2 min drive to win the game no way I would take Ryan over Ben.

    Technically he dosen't have a no. 2, but the play calling and Ben don't use what they do have enough. Ayers, Rogers, Hamilton, Jesse James, we have the players but we just don't use them like we should. Teams are focusing to stop our running game and take out Brown. In order to advance we have to use all our receivers more.

    Well, I think you can argue about Ryan, mostly because Ryan has no Super Bowl ring. If he had a ring, you would be looking at a clear number 4. That being said, I think Ben has weaknesses like anyone else.

    I hate to say this, but IMO Brady is best because he never has great receivers yet gets it done. If you can hit him or make him move, he won't play as well.

    Rodgers is the clear number 2. He would be #1 if not for that blasted number of Super Bowl victory thing. His weakness right now might just be that he doesn't have his best 2 receivers. Otherwise, the guy doesn't really have any weaknesses.

    Ryan has the advantage of having Julio Jones and 2 RBs which are impossible to guard. Honestly, if we somehow make it past the Pats, I would rather face the Packers. Those players scare me.

    If you look at what Ben is working with right now, it is AB and a bunch of nobodys. Think about this....

    Coates can't catch right now due to broken fingers.
    DHB has never been known for his hands.
    Ayers and Hamilton BOTH started the year on the practice squad.
    Rogers is basically a rookie.
    His big name TE isn't playing.
    James is in his 2nd year and is still improving.

    Ben has the least amount of weapons outside of the killer Bs.

    I pray he's been saving it for this game. He's gotten by with some weak performances. We need him to show up big.

    Yeah, I don't get it. It's like certain people around here are mad because we won last night or something. Crazy.

    He had 2 TD passes dropped on him, he cant catch it for em too, there cant be any dropped passes sunday because points will be hard to come by, I think ben will be slinging it sunday and just maybe be the hot ben we have seen before, air it out because brady will....
