It's quite poor taste to be honest.
Guess u are one of his bodyguards who was with him on that fateful night.........It's clear that you have a major bias against him based on the title and the little angry face alone. You're just a bitter little boy who may very well jump out of his bunkbed headfirst if Ben wins his 3rd SB.
How can you not give him credit? He made plays when he had to and has done so in his career in big games.
For the longest time, we lauded Brady for making plays when he had to even when his stats didn't stack up to Mannings, but now, we criticize Ben for making critical plays but not having gaudy stats? His penchant for making critical first downs and keeping drives alive with his feet are amazing. If it wasn't for his playmaking ability with his feet tonight, the Jets surely would have beaten the Steelers.
No other QB has won more big games than Ben for the past 5 years. You gotta give the guy his due.
I hope the Pack wins the SB, but Ben is a proven performer.

He's elite but he's not in the top tier. He's just below the top tier QBs in the league. My reasoning being that he's the type of QB that can make crucial throws to win games but he's not the type of QB who can take his team on his back and score lots of touchdowns to win games on a consistent basis, like for instance what Rodgers did last week or what guys like Brady, Manning, Rivers, and Brees do on a consistent basis. You take away that defense and Roethlisberger has 0 rings.
Top Tier QBs: (Doesn't really matter which order you rank them as they're all good enough to win super bowls and put up impressive stats):
Brady, Rivers, Manning, Rodgers, Brees
Second Tier QBs: (Roethlisberger is the top of this list.)
Roethlisberger, Vick (based on his performance this season), Schaub, Romo, Eli Manning, etc.
It's a team game, so why would winning make you an elite QB? If Ward wins 3 SBs is he an elite WR? What about Farrior? I could go on and on.
It just doesn't make sense to group players when it comes to team statistics.
