Ben Roethlisberger earned his 75th home win as a starter in his 101st home start on Sunday, the 4th-fewest home starts in NFL history to reach win No. 75.
https://twitter.com/steelers/status/1049738905896046598 5th best home winning percentage of anyone with at least 94 starts in the Super Bowl Era, behind only Favre, Elway, Brady, Peyton... probably will catch everybody but Brady & Elway.
With one more win on the road this season, he'll be the third fastest to 63 road wins.
At the moment, he's tied with Drew Brees for 3rd most road wins of all time, behind on Peyton, Brady, & Favre.
Brady (135G, 92W)
Peyton (139G, 87W)
Favre (160G, 76W)
Ben (111G, 67W)
Brees (132G, 67W)
B2B, if you really think Ben puts in just as much time - into being the best QB he can - as Brees, Brady and Manning, then there's obviously nothing I can add to convince you he doesn't. My eyes, ears and gut tell me he doesn't though.
Again stats really have nothing to do with my concerns with Ben. It's the level of dedication that he shows me as it compares to the others I mentioned.
Ben is a lot like Favre I think; both relied more on their physical talent than preparation. Favre has even admitted that about himself. My opinion is that if Ben and Favre used their amazing talent and coupled that with an elite level of commitment to being the best QB they could be - like Brees, Brady and Manning - think how much more dominate they could've been, because their actual physical talents may be unmatched by the other mentioned.
Obviously, we'll just have to agree to disagree.
