    Surprised Roger Staubach made the list considering there is no Ben or Joe Montana on it.

    Funny but numbers 6 ,7, 8 never even won a Superbowl. (Allen, Jackson,& Marino)

    And Tom Brady squeaks in at #9. WTF?????

    There is no universe in which Lamar Jackson is one of the 10 best QB's in their prime in the history of the NFL. Especially with no Ben and no Montana on the list.

    The Georgia accusation was in 2010, not 2017.

    No, he really didn't. Tomlin just didn't want to be bothered with any headaches in his final season, so he significantly hurt the team's talent level with a bad trade.

    You lost me at Chris Simms. Noted steelers hater. He loves to tear Ben down which seems more like envy from a guy who couldn't have even held a clipboard for BR.

    a better question is what would’ve happened if Maddox didn’t get hurt or if Batch was healthy. I feel like Ben was going to hold a clip board his rookie year unless we had a serious losing streak.

    Possible but it was not just a steelers thing at that time.The majority of the NFL decided to sit their rookie QB in year 1(at least for half of the season), even if it was a first-round pick, because very few had had a good rookie season as a QB, with the exception of Dan Marino, before 2004.It was also better in the long run to sit your QB as rookie

    Roethlisberger was the first rookie QB ever to win the offensive rookie of the year!

    I heard that, but I also heard it was a smoke screen to get Ben to mend his ways, and grow up.

    I've often thought about that, but its pointless because it didn't happen, but I still thought about it a lot

    I don’t think LJ is even a top 100 QB.

    I think if Ben had Belichick as a coach he may have been the GOAT!

    I read this twice to see if it sounded as dumb the second time

    It did

    Brady had a dedication to hard work that Ben did not

    Brady is also intelligent
