Big Ben's Retiring........

[TecmoBengals]

I get not liking Big Ben because he plays for a divisional opponent and I think we don't need to explain why people dislike him for his personal life choices; however, I find it silly anyone would think they can construct an argument he's not talented or had a HoF career. Ben has benefitted from the NFL transitioning to a pass-happy & protect-the-QB type of league, but that remains true for all QBs of the era. They can't be faulted for when they played. Sure, he's also benefited by being on good teams but that can be said about many great players. It's silly to negate his accomplishments just because he played with talented coaches and players.

He's top 5 in passing yards, 8th for TDs thrown which also puts him in the exclusive category of QBs throwing for 400+ career TDs, and he's been part of Super Bowl winning teams. There are other reasons one can justify his HoF worthy status and I have no doubt at all he'll be enshrined in Canton.
