rizzy Posted September 28, 2005 Report Posted September 28, 2005 Here are the top 10 qbs according to ratings after the first 3 weeks.1. Roethlisberger, 131.8 2. Carson Palmer, 114.0 3. Drew Bledsoe, 103.74. D. McNabb, 99.45. Kerry Collins, 95.96. Trent Dilfer, 95.17. Marc Bulger, 94.68. Byron Leftwich, 93.89. Matt Hasselbeck, 91.810. Eli Manning, 88.7Hope to see carson stay up there the whole year. I really want to see roethlisberger take a beating fall off this list I am tired of hearing about him. Quote
Stripes Posted September 28, 2005 Report Posted September 28, 2005 Big Ben's numbers will take a hit in week 7, when we intercept him a couple times. Quote
walshfan Posted September 28, 2005 Report Posted September 28, 2005 Eli is #10......He must be coming along better than most thought he would.... Quote
membengal Posted September 28, 2005 Report Posted September 28, 2005 Eli is #10......He must be coming along better than most thought he would....It helps that, by league mandate, he plays all of his games at home... Quote
Stripes Posted September 28, 2005 Report Posted September 28, 2005 I'm surprised Eli has such a passer rating... His completion percentage isn't even 55. Quote
walshfan Posted September 28, 2005 Report Posted September 28, 2005 I'm surprised Eli has such a passer rating... His completion percentage isn't even 55.the bulk of the points comes from yards per attempt....thats the base and then you can add or subtract for percentage of completions, touchdowns and interceptions....Big Ben doesnt have a very good percentage either but stays away from ints and have a good yrds per attempt...

scott91575 Posted September 28, 2005 Report Posted September 28, 2005 Roethlisberger only passes when no one expects it (it's about 80% of the time). The run makes him better. Anyone will tell you the run sets up the pass. He has an oline that can run against anyone. Put him in Texas and his numbers are similar to Carr's. Palmer is in a similar situation, yet the Bengals are a 50/50 team. The Steelers are 60/40 run, but they are good at it. This will make the QB better. No one expects Ben to pass, yet when he does he has a great in Ward. He has a perfect situation. I'd still take Palmer any day of the week, and twice on Sundays. I say give me a game where he stepped up and won a big game. Brady beats all in that catagory. Yet give me Carson down by 6 before I take Ben. The Steelers just never put him in this situation, and that is why he will put up good ratings in the regular season, but not be a great. Until he pulls a Brady (not great stats, but always come through when needed) he is not that great. Quote
Who? Posted September 28, 2005 Report Posted September 28, 2005 Dilfer's number six.. who would have expected that? Quote
Stripes Posted September 28, 2005 Report Posted September 28, 2005 Dilfer's number six.. who would have expected that? 3 AFC North QBs in the top 6... Which team is not included? Quote
scott91575 Posted September 28, 2005 Report Posted September 28, 2005 And their 18th in defense, behind the Bengals. Quote
Lita Posted September 28, 2005 Report Posted September 28, 2005 Actually, Dilfer has been playing very well. Cleveland is much better than anyone thought they would be. Quote
Who? Posted September 28, 2005 Report Posted September 28, 2005 I knew we would be better than everyone expected, we're just overlooked so much because of the fact that we have such a powerhouse division. Quote
bengalindian Posted September 28, 2005 Report Posted September 28, 2005 Powerhouse division that include the Steelers, Bengals, and kind of the Browns, and the Ravens don't even come close?? That's something that makes me smile. I'd rather have the Browns surprising people than the Ravens. Quote
AMC Posted September 28, 2005 Report Posted September 28, 2005 QB ratings suck....Ben is being rewarded for throwing 3 times a game....Wins and losses baby, wins and losses.... Quote

ArmyBengal Posted September 28, 2005 Report Posted September 28, 2005 At the risk of being a smartass, the Steelers are 2-1 this year... WHODEY !!! Quote

Hmmmmm.....Pittsburgh just got beat by NEThat's what I get for posting while I'm still finishing my 1st cup of coffee. I won't attempt to further humble you, but I will add that anyone who witnessed Ben's performance against the Patriots knows that his passer rating hides alot of flaws. Deep into the 4th quarter Ben's completion percentage was around 30% and he'd missed something like a dozen throws in a row. Despite his lofty ranking....he's no Tom Brady. Nor is he the equal of Carson Palmer. He's just a promising QB who happened to land on a team perfectly suited to hide his flaws. That said, I was thrilled to see the Patriots put an end to Ben's unbeaten regular season record because I was soooo sick of that stat. Quote
