QB rankings

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.

Passing attempts? Come on Shake, I thought you were on team efficiency with me when it came to RBs and total rushing yards vs YPC. Don't jump ship when it comes to passing attempts. Lol

Heck, both Aaron Rodgers and Joe Burrow weren't top-10 in passing attempts in 2021. You know who was? Trevor Lawrence, Kirk Cousins, Ben Roethlisberger.

I'll take the guy with more TDs and less than 1/2 of the INTs. Ben led the league in INTs that year, you're going to have to throw more to catch back up when you keep turning the ball over. Also when you throw it shorter you need to throw more. Wilson averaged .6 yards more per attempt. If you are getting much more yards per attempt and you're not turning the ball over, you don't NEED to throw it a million times. (Plus Wilson had an extra 376 yards rushing at 5.6 yards per attempt.)

2018 Roethlisberger
8% Above Average YPA
13% Above Average Completion
6% Above Average TD%
League Average INT%
24% Above Average Sack% (as in, much less sacked)
8% Above Average QB Rating

2018 Wilson
17% Above Average YPA
8% Above Average Completion
40% Above Average TD%
12% Above Average INT% (which is good)
31% Below Average Sack% (he was getting murdered)
28% Above Average QB Rating

Steelers OL: Villanueva, Foster, Pouncey, DeCastro, Feiler (that's 2 All-Pros and 1 Pro Bowler)
Seahawks OL: Fant, Sweezy, Britt, Fluker, Ifedi (not even a single Pro Bowler)

We're all adults here. Don't push your poor choices of who to defend onto me.
