While relying on statistics might lead you astray now and again, empirical data will more often than not lead you to better analysis. Hence GTripp brings stronger analysis on a consistent basis than most anyone else on this site.

Well of course if you put Ben on our team he's not winning SB's. No kidding. But if you put Campbell on Pittsburgh are they winning 2 SB's? I don't think so. Even though Ben had a bad SB in 05 he played his ass off on the road in the playoff games that got them there. And of course what he did in this past SB is what gets you in the Hall of Fame. Bottom line is Ben gets in done when it matters most.
Both Campbell and Cutler had a similar QB rating. However who is the better QB? Cutler hands down.
