If I'm putting together a fantasy team Ben's not my first pick, but if I'm starting a real team he'd be pretty high on the list.
Rothlisberger does not strike me as an ideal example (for various reasons - he actually did improve if you take out the motorcycle/appendix year; the "he's a winner" "analysis" ignores the tremendous run game and world class defense he has - i.e. he wouldn't be winning Super Bowls for the Redskins, etc - and actually that is exactly what Tripp says if you read his words) but the sort of subjective analysis represented above is the type of thinking that makes a team willing to trade Campbell, two 1sts, and a 3rd for Jay Cutler. 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.
