You fail to realize that Ben didn't lead anybody because he barely even threw 20 passes/game. Without that running game, Ben would be mediocre :whistle:

So, could Trent Dilfer have won a Super Bowl with the Steelers? Their defense was nowhere close to the Raven's Super Bowl defense.

I'm with Bro, I'd take a guy like Ben who doesn't make mistakes and put pressure my defense to make plays all the time. Granted, he isn't going to throw for 400 and 5 every game but we've seen what guys like that accomplish (hint: Marino, Manning). Something has to be said for intelligent play on the field...not turning it over, making sure that 3rd down pass gets at least a first down, managing the clock, etc. Other than Tom Brady, Ben is the at the top of that mountain.

Regardless, the helmet issue is a slap in the face. Here in California, in order to ride a bicycle on city streets, you HAVE to wear a helmet or you can be cited. Pennsylvania needs to go back and re-write their laws because wearing a helmet on a motorcycle should not be an option. Period.

I agree with you that Ben an Brady both manage the game well without necessarily standing out on their own. A few years playing fantasy football teaches you that. As successful as Brady is, he's not a good Fantasy pick because he doesn't put up crazy stats.

Now, I have to disagree with you about helmet laws, though. I think that is your choice and there should be no law against it. If you want to risk killing yourself, that's your business. I think it is incredibly stupid to not wear a helmet, but I don't think there needs to be laws saying you have to.

Was sorry to hear about Big Ben's accident and hope he's going to be ok.

As for the helmet issue, I want to know why in the hell do I HAVE to wear a seatbelt (law requires it) and they don't have to wear a helmet. Does that make sense to anyone??

The reason he doesn't throw for those stats is because they run the ball more than 60% of the time, which is what I stated before :whistle:

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By SystemX2 · Posted

      Thanks to some of the other recent Windows improvements, I'm optimistic about this one. My quick wishlist would be: perf like the older menu, merge both menus or at the very least, the older menu should be a flyout, not a simulated click to the old menu, and lastly, a customization window to let users move items from one menu to another, so I could bring Send To back to the main menu, and the OneDrive settings to the older.
    • This Gigabyte AMD RX 9070 XT is very good deal despite the launch of 9070 GRE

      This Gigabyte AMD RX 9070 XT is very good deal despite the launch of 9070 GRE by Sayan Sen Recently we reviewed AMD's latest 1440p gaming card, the Radeon RX 9070 GRE 12GB, for $549. The card is in stock too at that price, though if you want significantly better performance and don't mind spending a bit more, the Gigabyte Gaming model of RX 9070 XT is currently on sale for just $650 (purchase link under the specs table down below). The card employs Gigabyte's WINDFORCE cooling system which combines multiple design elements such as alternate-spinning Hawk fans, a vapor chamber, and composite heat pipes to manage heat dissipation. The Server-grade Thermal conductive gel further helps in this department. The inclusion of a semi-passive cooling mode allows the fans to remain inactive under low workloads, which allows for reduced noise operation during lighter usage. There is dual BIOS switch that allows toggling between performance and silent modes. The technical specifications of the Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT GAMING OC 16G are given in the table below: Specification Value Core Clock Boost Clock: up to 3060 MHz Game Clock: up to 2520 MHz Stream Processors 4096 Memory Clock 20 Gbps Memory Size 16GB Memory Type GDDR6 Memory Bus 256-bit Card Bus Interface PCI Express 5.0 Maximum Resolution 7680 × 4320 Multi-View Support 4 displays Card Dimensions L=288 mm, W=132 mm, H=56 mm Recommended Power Supply 750W Power Connectors 3 × 8-pin Video Outputs 2 × DisplayPort 2.1a 2 × HDMI 2.1b Get it at the link below: GIGABYTE Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming OC 16GB Graphics Card, GV-R9070XTGAMING OC: $649.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $740) This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.
