2005- 17 Tds to 9 interceptions again great season right. Oh and had a 22 qb rating in the Superbowl wow what an amazing performance. Oh and he played with a top 5 running game and a top 5 defense that season.
By the way of course his numbers are going to be impressive hes been on a loaded team most of his career and he has played in the most friendly Qb era of all time.
In 2005 he played 12 games - a 98.6 QB rating and 8.9 YPA (noticed you ignored those, focusing on TD's because he didn't play 16 games) - and had to overcome a serious knee injury (and then hurting his hand badly to the point he couldn't throw downfield for weeks). Lights out in the playoffs except for the SB when nerves got the better of the youngest QB ever to win one (of course, Hines Ward dropped an easy TD pass and Ben had a rushing TD which doesn't count or his rating looks a lot better)
In 2008, he had a horrible OL and struggled with injuries most of the year. He was again quite good in the playoffs, and then had a legendary SB drive. He's played behind horrid OL most of his career, and had a revolving door at WR most of his career - so offensive numbers quite good despite not being nearly as "loaded" around him as other guys have had.
All that really proves is he's a great QB who still rises to the occasion when he's having a bad year, finds ways to win when he's having a bad day. He's got HOF numbers any way you want to slice it. Sorry, but you're comments to the contrary make you look like a fool.
