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

Yes.

Please. He's averaging 9.3 Yards/Attempt for the first 18 games of his career--a time when many hall of fame quarterbacks struggled immensely.

Some career Y/A numbers for HOF QBs:

Baugh-7.3
Graham-8.6
Montana-7.5
Starr-7.8
Staubuch 7.7
Unitas-7.8

Graham had two seasons at 9.3 Y/A or greater. Starr, Unitas had 1. Baugh, Montana and Staubach had none--though each came close.

I'm not saying he's a hall of famer, but his success this far has been other worldly and saying he's overrated is completely retarded.
