People still think Big Ben is a statue

The guy was sacked 16 times in the last 3 games (24 times in the last 6) and has supposedly one of the best lines in the NFL.smarta5150;1807478 said:People still think Big Ben is a statue

Aikman wasn't an elusive scrambler a la Steve Young, but he did have a large frame and could power forward for 3 or 4 extra yards once he began moving with some velocity.
Roethlisberger is a little bigger, however, and has more power.

Just watch the games... sacks can be the result from many things such as good coverage and/or bad route running. How about poor pass blocking and/or a well executed blitz or pass rush. Etc, etc etc.
Simply saying Big Ben has been sacked a lot doens't mean it was his fault EVERY sack. Majority, maybe, but lets not exaggerate.
Just watch the games and you'll see he is a pretty mobile QB for a guy his size. Tonight's game has had plenty of examples.
They showed a stat that he has only had 2 passes deflected at the LOS in 308 attempts - QB average is 1 in every 40. (not much to do with mobility but just a little nugget).
PS. I will still take Romo any day of the week.

again, he's like Romo in that he runs around when the protection breaks down, but he doesn't know when to throw it away sometimes

Bob Sacamano;1807560 said:true, but the dude still held onto the football for too long
smarta5150;1807562 said:Holding on to the ball has nothing to do with his legs and mobility though
Bob Sacamano;1807567 said:yes, but him getting sacked that many times did
just shut up and bow down before the greatness that is my sig
