Does anyone realize Ben Roethlisberger has won two Super Bowl rings?
UGHEMMMMM..... hello? Is this thing on?
Roethlisberger probably will never be picked in the first round in anyone's fantasy drafts in his career... well at least this year he won't. But that doesn't mean if you were an NFL owner and had to choose a starting quarterback for your team he wouldn't at LEAST be in the conversation.
Well, for bonehead Aaron Schatz of profootballoutsiders.com, Big Ben doesn't even "belong in the conversation."
Sir whatever your drinking, please stop.
In a recent interview with Joe Starkey who writes for the Pittsburgh Tribune Review, Schatz said his top four quarterbacks are Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees and Philip Rivers.
I'll respect his choices and agree about everyone minus Rivers, but how in WORLD can you say Roethlisberger "doesn't belong in the conversation"?
Are you kidding me!?
In his five year career, Ben has won two Super Bowl championships (including engineering a game winning last-minute drive against Arizona in Super Bowl XLIII), owns the seventh best passer rating in NFL history, and has basically changed the quarterback position with his tremendous size, cannon of a arm, and playmaking ability.
Philip Rivers? Well....... he has a post-season record of 3-3 despite San Diego having a solid defense and a great running game.
You may be wondering.... but Flick in your fantasy QB top 10, Roethlisberer isn't even mentioned?
Hence the word "Fantasy" in the title. Winning in the NFL is not all about the numbers. It's about wins, and Roethlisberger knows how to do it just as good as anyone.
If I had the choice of a quarterback engineering a drive to win me a football game as a owner or head coach, my options would be between Brady and Roethlisberger.
Philip Rivers?.......
Do I even need to answer that Andy Schatz?
