My own assessments:
Matt Leinert, AZ: D, looks like he could be a bust
Michael Vick, ATL: B for on field prowess, D for overall given his history
Matt Ryan, ATL: B but partially incomplete
Kyle Boller, BAL: D, is he even still on a roster?
Joe Flacco, BAL: B, had his team to playoffs a couple of times
J.P. Losman, BUFF: D, started a couple of years (not Akili Smith territory, who was worse than Leaf, both pre-2000)
Rex Grossman, CHI: C+, he DID take his team to the Super Bowl
Carson Palmer, CIN: B, he needs to take his team further in postseason play to be considered premier
Brady Quinn, CLE: D, so far, somewhat incomplete
Jay Cutler, DEN: C at best so far.
Tim Tebow, DEN: Incomplete though I am not confident of his future
Joey Harrington, DET: D, big time bust
Matt Stafford, DET: C+ for his efforts so far
Aaron Rodgers, GB: B+
David Carr, HOU: C, I don't rate him as low as many given his circumstance.

Eli Manning, NYG: A-
Chad Pennington, NYJ: B
Mark Sanchez, NYJ: B, with incomplete
Jamarcus Russell, OAK: D, heading for an F

Philip Rivers, SD: B+, needs to get it done in post season
Alex Smith, SF: D+
Sam Bradford: St.L: Incomplete
Josh Freeman, TB: C, incomplete
Vince Young, TN: B, climbed up from a D

Somehow I deleted Young off the list...I would give him a B.
All in all, just browsing the grades it seems we are all fairly close in the grades. Obviously there are some differences but nothing that really stands out...it's mostly half grade difference.
So we get an A!

You know fellas with the exception of one or two people being intentionally ridiculous just about everyone has Ben ranked fairly well. I'm only commenting now because it's obvious most can at least respect his play on the field and the play of the Steelers for that matter. The entire message board could be a hell of a lot better if this method of thinking was applied more often. I can certainly give credit where credit is do for all teams in the NFL and I understand the Browns hate the Steelers and vice versa....this thread just shows me that most of the time it's a bunch of over the top bullsh.it for the sake of throwing around over the top bullsh.it. A lot of really intelligent inter-divisions discussions could be had here if this were a constant mantra for discussions. Just saying. I may rank the NFL QB's later. Definitely don't feel like doing it now. Good thread though.
AKA SNATCH98 or Rorbotron. The boards glorious admins decided to get cute and change my name to "homotron" Classy group of people. (Lost a bet with Columbus king and got banned for a month) -
Homotron, I know how to make this happen. If you and the rest of ur gay ass steeler fans stay on ur gay porn sites then I think the problem is solved.
Stay gay my friend you are an inspiration

Just because you are a Steeler doesn't make you a jerk....degenerate, maybe, but not a jerk.
Seriously, Ben, though a egg head, has had a plus plus career......but it can go down.
I think he has had his wake up call and will continue to have a close to HOF career.
I am in a keeper league and Ben is a FA...I have Peyton, Stafford, and Henne at QB as my holdovers...I'll pick the guy if he is there when I think he will be there....I am thinking 3rd-4th round considering his suspension....I'll just have to wait for tomorrow to see how the draft unfolds.

The "Any Which Way You Can" orangutan Clyde could have quarterbacked
the Steelers as well or better than Ben Classlessbooger

That may be a slight exaggeration in respect to the first SB that the Steelers won with him where he simply rode in the back of the cart, but it is definitely not true in regard to the second one where he was driving the cart.
