Jerk says Big Ben is Overrated

[revefsreleets]

I agree with Porter and Lewis, but he's way off with the other three. This isn't racism, it's just some guy sitting in his basement, why all the hate? In fact, why all the play?

How can you be overated when you were picked in the top of your draft class Your team goes 15-1 your first year and you win the superbowl your second. In your third year you cant play due to injury. What does he base this on. I dont want to dog this guy but did he watch the playoffs of 05. You cant be a sports show host and be biased towards a team or individual. You noticed he named Porter also.

People say Ben only wins because of the cast around him. This statement a huge double standard for all QB's to ever play the game.

Where would Peyton Manning be without Marvin Harrison or Reggie Wayne?

Where would Carson Palmer be without Rudi Johnson, and a trio of talented recievers to throw to? I'm putting special emphasis on this because Bengal fans are the first to point out that Ben is overrated because of the cast around him.

Big Bum is overrated. I predict he will win this year's award for Turnover King. Ben is a no talent bum.

Big Bum - original. Come up with that yourself, or did mommy help you out?

BTW, take your witty remarks to the blast furnace, please. This is your first (and last) warning.

That was the sorriest piece of crap I've ever watched. This guy is worse than Mark Madden. He needs to get over the Yo Dude rap style announcing and go hang out with 50 Cent instead. Maybe he'd actually get a few dollars from him.

I wouldn't go nearly that far. I will agree that he has to prove himself after his bike crash and after having a horrible following season. IMO, he has a good bit to prove this season. Judging that we....oh I don't know...will be dishing out some nice cash to him after this season. But to state that he is overrated and that he is a "no talent bum" is going way too far.

BTW, you better run for the hills. The slightest of criticism towards "God" will not be put up with. Good luck.

How can you say he is overrated when most don't give him enough credit. They say his supporting cast got him through the playoffs and to a superbowl win please ask yourselves this do the Steelers go any where with Tommy Maddox that year. Hell no! He had a bad year last year you go through a windshield and see how well you do at work. I don't understand why Ben gets ripped the way he does and Vince Young is allready on his way to Canton. I guess I just don't get it.

Am I the only one that smells "troll" here?

And that's also true of any other quarterback in the NFL, including Manning and Brady. Remember what happened to Peyton during that playoff game when we were in his face all afternoon because his O-line protection broke down repeatedly? He said something afterwards about having "problems with protection", and was accused by the media of throwing his O-line under the bus.

ANY quarterback is only as good as his offensive line. True of Ben, true of all of them.
