Behind Roethlisberger?

Granted, the Steelers are a better team but I'm not sure I buy into Big Ben over Newton.

Had we won SB50 he would have been much higher. But alas

Yeah, that is pretty much it. That's why Big Ben is ahead of him, that SB. 

With that title, Cam might be top 4 on that list. But, we are also talking about an alternate reality where he wasn't healthy for three straight years too.

Manning is on the list despite having played only half the decade. I think I the list underscores that despite qb’s having some of the longest average career lengths, making it a decade as a starter in the NFL is rare and very few who aren’t very good manage it.

I'm a longtime believer that Roethlisberger is overrated.

You think Cam is better than Ben .. but you think that the Panthers should move on from Cam when he's 30 .. yet Ben will be the starter of the well-run Steelers organization at age 38 ..

Ben has taken just as much of a beating in his career as Cam, and has had some injuries .. but yes, let's just get rid of Cam who's better than Be, when Ben's team still wants Ben

Eh, IDK about that. I'd include him in the top tier of NFL QB's for the decade, without question. It helps to be on one of the most successful franchises in the NFL but that also leads to a chicken/egg scenario.

Yeah, Ben has actually taken a shelling over his career. He actually did some of the things Cam is currently doing to add some longevity. He slimmed down and stopped scrambling as frequently.

Where did I say I thought the Steelers should hang on to Roethlisberger?

You make some reaches that Plastic Man couldn't handle.

The Steelers limited the number of passes he threw for a few years there.

Mind you, that was a while ago.

My point is whether you believe the Steelers should hang on to Ben or not is irreverent .. the Steelers have held onto Ben

And arguably shouldn't have.

They know how to handle a franchise QB .. Steelers fans love Ben, LOVE him .. despite being accused of rape
