He’s good but he’s not in Brady or P. Manning’s realm.

Well...he’s in the Superbowl and they’re not. And yes, I know Brady was injured.

Yes, let's see him go to the Lions next year and lead them to the playoffs, then I'll call him "elite"...

There are different types of elite QBs in the world. Manning puts up lots and lots of really sexy numbers, so long as you don’t pay attention to his post season record. Brady had a great post season record at the beginning of his career though it’s kind of faded lately. The comparison of Big Ben and Bradshaw is pretty apt, Bradshaw never really put up sexy numbers other than 4-0 in the big dance, he just made the passes he needed to to win the games that mattered most. Big Ben wins games, most of his wins need him to make 2 or 3 big plays, and as a Steeler QB sometimes those big plays aren’t passes, think of his tackle in Indy on the way to SB XL, or his run block against San Diego on the way to this one. The stat that really matters is the the W.

True. They'll be watching the SuperBowl in street clothes somewhere, and Big Ben won't.

Thankfully, else he'd be sitting at home watching on TV.
