I don’t think you can really say who the “better” QB is. There are so many factors in being a QB. Your O line, the system your team runs, what WR/RB/TE you have, the plays called by the coaching staff, drops that WRs may have(Is Roethlisberger a great QB because Brown caught the 3rd and 19 pass and Flacco is a bad one because Boldin dropped a TD that was right in his hands and Houshmanzadeh dropped a 1st down that was right in his hands?), your FG kicker, etc...
Is Brady a great QB because Vinatieri won a few games for him with great kicks and Jim Kelly a bad QB because his kicker blew the SB? If Vinatieri misses a few of those and Brady loses some of those games is his reputation as high? Is Brady a bad QB because Tyree on the NYG caught that ball against his helmet in a 1 in 1000000 fluke and ended the undefeated season?
I think they’re both great QBs, both have proven themselves in the biggest of games and the biggest of moments. Both have won multiple SBs. I’d take both of them over Peyton Manning who has history of coming up small and doesn’t have nearly the track recor of success they do.
I agree about the pressure and I give Ben an edge there as his size gives him an advantage in those situations. He’s also a bit more mobile than Brady. You can’t really go wrong with either of them.
But we’ll see next week how Ben does against the same team that pretty much shut NE down today. Can’t get a better comparison than seeing them go against the same team in back to back weeks.
I think PIT may have an edge in that their D is far superior to NE and they have a better running game so Ben won’t have to do as much. But NYJ are playing very well and their confidence is off the charts right now. Should be a great game.
Daaaaaaaaa Bears.
