Well finally the two QBs taken ahead of Big Ben in the 2004 draft finally made it to their first conference title game............Eli Manning was drafted number 1 over all and Philip Rivers 4th overall which then both were involved in that draft day trade since Eli Manning didn't want to play for the Chargers....
Both Eli Manning and Philip Rivers will make their first start in a conference title game this upcoming Sunday.....While Big Ben already has played in two and one Super Bowl while winning the Super Bowl.....What I find funny is how everybody always mentions Big Ben's terrible Super Bowl....They never talk about the fact he played very well in the Steelers three play-off games before the Super Bowl and was great in the AFC title game vs the Broncos.....Big Ben completed 21 out 29 passes and threw for 275 yards in that game with 2 TD passes with no INTs and also ran for a score against the Broncos.....
So now we get to see if both Eli Manning and Philip Rivers can lead their respective teams to the Super Bowl and make this race closer on who the is the best QB to come out of the 2004 draft class....Until now it wasn't even close.....But Manning and Rivers can at least join the conversation now.....I would still take Big Ben hands down over both of them.....
As for Tony Romo.....I mention him in this thread for the simple reason that I think he should be roasted for his little vacation trip to Mexico with Jessica Simpson....Its safe to say his mind was on other things then his teams play-off game....Now don't get me wrong I'm not ripping him for dating Jessica Simpson or anything like that...But couldn't Tony wait until after the play-offs to go Mexico with his hottie girlfriend?....His antics might have cost the Cowboys a Super Bowl trip......
Big Ben took heat for his motorcycle crash in which he wasn't wearing a helmet and ruining the Steelers season in 2006......I think Romo should be under the same fire.....I think Tony Romo is a good QB but I would take Big Ben over him also....Ben doesn't have the OL that Romo enjoys and Ben doesn't have a WR like TO.....I like the Steelers WRs.....But TO is big physical and fast WR.....A total mismatch and nightmare for DBs to cover....
Heading into next year I think Big Ben is clearly one of the top QBs in the game....If the Steelers give him an OL I wouldn't be surprise if he is mentioned with the likes of Tom Brady and Peyton Manning next year....![]()
