Default Re: Is Ben Roethlisberger the most overrated QB in the league?

Quite simply, Maddox's performance vs Jax w/o Ward wasn't really worse than Roth's vs NE two weeks prior (W/ Ward).

This is completely ridiculous. Did you watch both games? Do you call 1 TD and 4 Turnovers = to 2 TD's and no turnovers?

I picked horrible phraseology.

Given Maddox's performance, opponent, and personnel, and Roth's performance, opponent, and personnel, one cannot say that Roth has been better this year.

Jax's defense is far superior to NEs this year. They've forced NEARLY 5 TIMES AS MANY TURNOVERS AS NEW ENGLAND. They're allowing 80 fewer ypg.

And Maddox didn't have the full compliment of weapons Roth had.

Given all of this, you cannot say that Roth exhibited more talent than Maddox.

But, you are right. My previous phrasing was poor.
