It will be 13 of last 15..

Super Bowls with either Ben, Peyton, and Tom, now that NE won.

Certainly, Ben belongs in the conversation with both of them. Strangely enough, this will only be Ben's third playoff game against either of them. He is 1-1, but they were from 2004 & 2005. For the Steelers to get to the super bowl, Ben and the Steelers will now have to beat both of them back to back. If he does that, this post season will punch his ticket to Canton (IMHO he is already there, but not everyone agrees).

 

Hmm, maybe when they were in their prime - which neither Tom nor Peyton are... I'm honestly not sure where Ben stands, HOF-wise.

But should he make it through this current gauntlet and win SB # 7 for us, then I think he belongs in a serious conversation about it.

 

If he can do that it will make his last Bengals drive even more legendary.

 

ComeON Man! we're homers. Ben belongs haha

 

U really don't think Ben is a hall of famer?
12th all time passing yards
13th all time passing tds
11th all time in completion percentage
9th all time in passer rating leaders
3 Super Bowls 2 wins
What else am I missing

 

I think you need to throw stats out of the window, since the game has evolved so much. To me, you need to be one of the best of your era. Ben's up there, but is he up enough?

 

Exactly, let's also remember he is one of 3 (at least until Rogers gets there) that has 100 wins in 150 starts. That's elite company. If he plays for 4-5 more years I'm pretty sure he can pass Dan Marino and John Elway in wins. Next year, he'll pass Joe Montana and Johnny Unitas.

 

Tough task for sure. We got to the AFC Title game with Mark Malone and Frank Pollard as the RB so you never know.
