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.

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.

Dude, I'll always have honest conversations with you. 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.

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! 😁

Brett Ratliff: D- solid always trending into Failsauce

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.

Byron Leftwich, JAX: C+

Eli Manning, NYG: A-

Chad Pennington, NYJ: B

Mark Sanchez, NYJ: B, with incomplete

Jamarcus Russell, OAK: D, heading for an F

Ben Roethlisberger, PIT: A- (2 SB rings, though he was a tag along for the first one)

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

Patrick Ramsey, WASH: D, a bust
