pBills Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Just wondering how ESPN can rank Rothlisberger ahead of JP? Granted none of them want to say that the crown they gave him was for nothing or based off of one season with Bettis. But come on, the guy has thrown ZERO TD's and 7 interceptions. He should be way, way, way towards the bottom. Second thought... Bills 21 Lions 10 New England 13 Bills 17 4-3 going into the bye-week. That would be great!!!

bozman949 Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Ben won a Super Bowl and has played well through the vast majority of his limited career - JP has like 10 starts to his name. No comparison yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 JP Losman is not even relevant in this discussion yet because he hasnt arrived. Maybe after he does something in the NFL, he can then be rated over a QB struggling. The clock is ticking. Now he is 13 starts into his NFL career. 11 starts left, will he do something that makes fans want him back next year? We have seen big ben win games for the Steelers, Ben had a hard offseason.

pBills Posted October 12, 2006 Author Share Posted October 12, 2006 Not buying it since this was based on THIS season, not everyone's careers. This season. So if that truly is the case, then shouldn't JP be ahead of Rothlisbeger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until he shows he can pick this team up put it on his back when the game is on the line, he won't have a horse in the race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHOUTBOX MONSTER! Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Ok, how many times do I have say it... the rankings list was based off of this season. Geesh Read People Read!! 802568[/snapback] I would agree that J.P. has looked better this season, but it appears (if this is the right article) that the rankings are based off of Week 5's performances. Which would explain Damon Huard at number 4 and Bruce Gradkowski at number 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bozman949 Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Okay, this season, yes JP has played better than Ben, but you could argue (going into the Bear game) that JP had outplayed Palmer, Hasselbeck, Delhomme etc. Who would you rather build a team around?

Bens fantasy points so far this year...... -14.75 I keep hoping he will snap out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to sure yet on JP. I believe a lot of last year messed his head up and that the coaching staff has been doing a wonderful job clearing the Mularkey out of it. With that being said, all of the above minus Rothlisberger. He is proving right now that last year was more his play mixed with a lot of Jerome Bettis.

Maybe after he does something in the NFL, he can then be rated over a QB struggling. 802554[/snapback] As opposed to vested veteran Bruce Gradkowski, who is ranked at #6? As others have said, the power rankings are based on week 5's performance (thus the lack of QB's who were on the bye), as bad as Big Ben's performance was on Sunday, Losman was worse.

pBills Posted October 12, 2006 Author Share Posted October 12, 2006 I have to disagree with that statement as well. Give me a break... let's see broken leg, then the flip-flopping from mularkey and now this year he is showing true signs of promise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My statement was a general statement however, not in response to the ranking. 802735[/snapback] A QB coming out of nowhere - the rookie Gradkowski - with the opposition having essentially zero film on him, can indeed have a good game. Folks were ga-ga about Volek and his potential for a while, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
