#8 \| 143 days ago mooser58 (+)	As a diehard Steeler fan even I can't say he is the best. I would say top 5. no
	10
#9 \| 143 days ago acegresh (+)	I am also a die hard Steeler fan, but I don't think he is the best. He stil has a lot of years left in him and he has the potential. I think he has a long way to go before he can be declared the best. Playing for a great team helps, but he's not there yet....not yet.

#10 \| 143 days ago aubbz08 (+)	He has talent I'll give you that, but how do you truly judge him as the best? posibly

#11 \| 143 days ago gau13 (+)	Ben Worthlisberger....best QB in the league? lol hell no.....If the steelers defense didn't hold the other teams to such low scores then the steelers would suck. Worthlisberger sucks...thats why he is Worthless lol no
	6
#12 \| 143 days ago buck1133 (+)	he's in the conversation because he has the hardware .. i cant say no but i wont say yes ... its like comparing Dan Marino to Steve Young marino had the numbers but Young has the titles..... posibly
	5
#13 \| 143 days ago saprmarks (+)	I think its hard to tell because of the quality of the Steeler's offensive line. Though he probably isn't, he does excel in certain areas such as avoiding the sack and not getting his pass batted down at the line. posibly
	2
#14 \| 142 days ago fbfan1 (+)	Easily top 10. Top 5? Quite possibly? Best? Not by a long shot. no
	6
#15 \| 142 days ago vindog (+)	Not THE Best, but most definitely in the Top 10- or even Top 5! Sure he plays on a GREAT team with a vicious defense, but that doesn't make him any less of a QB. He is big, strong, athletic, and very accurate- he has also led his team to 2 Superbowl Wins in the past 4 seasons- not bad! You also have to take into consideration that his Offensive Line has been HORRIBLE these past two seasons and the Steelers STILL won the Superbowl. posibly

#16 \| 141 days ago ary201 (+)	He's the best QB in the Steelers depth chart. no

#18 \| 140 days ago indysteelers (+)	topnach wrote: Better than Peyton Manning? No way Peyton Manning - 1 ring 7-8 in the playoffs Ben Roethlisberger- 2 ringS and 8-2 in the playoffs. In their only head to head match up in the playoffs Ben won. Ben won 13 games (consecutively) his rookie year and his first playoff game, Peyton lost 13 games his rookie year. He also did not win his first playoff game until his 6th season in the NFL. The NFL is not about stats, ask Dan Marino. I could list all the QBs in the NFL or that have recently retired, that are statistically better than Ben but in the NFL, rings matter. I would say that Tom Brady is hands down the best active QB in the NFL. no

#22 \| 137 days ago Dodge#9 (+)	I'ts not Ben at all it's the team around him. He is less mobile than Frankenstein, not to mention the resemblance. Send him to Cleveland or Oakland and see how many rings he gets. no

I remember when we played the Colts in the playoffs, haha our HUGE Casey Hampton almost caught up to Peytons slow ass. ha I would say Tom Brady is the best, as much as i dislike him and his team. I would think that Ben would be in the top 5 though. no

#39 \| 114 days ago JonnyFire13 (+)	Ben is good... but hes not anywhere near good enough to even be considered for something like that. Drew Breeze, or Mcnabb, and possibly Tom brady, as much I hate to say that. no

#40 \| 114 days ago carlalbert64 (+)	Very solid.... not the best though...... no

#41 \| 114 days ago tevonjohnson1 (+)	(Edited by tevonjohnson1) I would say as a fundamental QB that could have been better, but because after being tagged by Bart Scott Big Ben haven't been the same, he has seem to fall off a little. posibly

#42 \| 114 days ago infernodragon02 (+)	Ben my man, my alma matter man... he's a far better QB than most people gave him credit for, I think it's safe to say that. Yeah it's easy to attribute his success to the rest of the team, but obviously the rest of the team needs that certain leader to make all the parts work. He's as strong and mobile as all hell, about as hard to take down as an ox. And the part about his game that never ceases to astound me is that he's clutch. Kid's got ice water in his veins. Even if you don't believe the Steelers deserved to win those two Superbowls, you've got to give the kid credit for orchestrating comebacks. Let's face it - he walked into a miraculous rookie season, lacking a pedigree from the collegiate elite, and continues to perform at a high level. It isn't valid to say, let's put him on the Raiders and see how many rings he has... what, are you gonna say next that Tom Brady or Peyton Manning owe their success to the Pats and the Colts? Because they wouldn't bring the Raiders or Browns to the Superbowl? Who would? You're dodging the question with indirect comparisons... Is Ben the best? No... he lacks the skillset of the Bradys and the pedigree of the Mannings of the world. But it doesn't matter. You can't take away what he's accomplished, and it stands that the Steelers are one of the most stable teams in the league. It's a lot easier to wreck a good team than it is to get a free ride... so go ahead and continue to underestimate him. It's better to be an unsung success than a loudmouthed car wreck of a failure. yes

Romo has blown it at the end of the past two seasons. Ben comes through in the end of games after handing the ball off for three quarters. Ben is one of the best QBs in the league on 3rd down because he has to be. no

McNabb like Romo is just not clutch. Oh wait, maybe I forgot that McNabb has 3 rings...oh wait he does not have any. I am trying to think of something that would make McNabb better that Ben.....20 minutes later, I still got nothing. What happens in the NFL in January is what matters most. Ask Ken Anderson. no
