Just to play the contrarian, I think it's debatable whether or not Ben is a HOF QB. He was along for the ride in his SB wins, hasn't won squat without Lebeau, and has career numbers that are barely a notch above Eli.
I'm not so sure the Steelers have been great at drafting over the last decade either.
Is Tomlin an outstanding coach? Probably not, but he's better than Marv, I have little doubt about that. The talent levels during their tenures have been similar and Tomlin has gotten much more out of his guys.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
