I know that QB Rating isn't the end-all-be-all, but Roethlisberger had 6 seasons of his QB Rating being 15% above league average or better, 0 of 25% above league average or better in an 18 year career. Wilson in his 10 year career is at 6 and 2, respectively.
You're right. Passer rating isn't the end-all-be-all. During Wilson's career, he's only only finished top 10 in attempts twice in 10 seasons. During that same time frame, Ben finished top 10 in attempts 6 times, and that's with one season he missed due to injury.
Just look at 2018 for example. Which QB had the better season?
Wilson: 280 of 427 for 3448 yards, 35 TDs and 7 INTs (110.9 rating)
Ben: 452 of 675 for 5129 yards, 34 TDs and 16 INTs (96.5 rating)
Ben had more completions than Wilson had attempts
Wilson's passer rating looks like Aaron Rodgers, but he's throwing less than Andy Dalton. Obviously Ben was carrying much more of an offensive load.
Way to make me defend Ben though. Well played.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
