Big Ben One of Top 5 QBs of All Time

Interesting article from coldhardfootballfacts.com.

Now that Ben has thrown more than the minimum number of passes, he can be ranked with quarterbacks in career numbers. And he does very well.

#5 All-Time in Passer Rating:

1. Steve Young – 96.81
2. Peyton Manning – 94.25
3. Kurt Warner – 93.52
4. Tom Brady – 92.91
5. Ben Roethlisberger – 92.52

#5 in Yards Per Pass Attempt (an even better indicator of a winning quarterback):

1. Otto Graham – 8.63 YPA
2. Sid Luckman – 8.42
3. Norm Van Brocklin – 8.16
4. Kurt Warner – 8.14
5. Ben Roethlisberger – 8.10

The article thinks that if Ben can continue this performance for another 4 years, he is a sure fire first ballot Hall of Famer.

The only downside to this is that the trends in Ben's career in both of the above stats are heading downward, no doubt a result of playing behind an awful offensive line and having to exist in Bruce Arians' nonsensical offensive scheme.

Funny how I didn't see Carson Palmer on this list...
