You're using the Steelers team that lost to the Pats* and only put up 16 points as your example? You really think there aren't Steelers fans saying they might have won if Big Ben was healthy?
Not my examples, just picking from the options given to me. I definitely believe sitting behind Flacco gave Tyrod an edge, but I also don't believe it is as valuable as in-game experience over the same amount of time.
Where did I say they were the best in WNY? I've had wings from plenty of places, many better than Anchor Bar's, but when the conversation is narrowed down to only Anchor Bar and Duff's I'm picking Anchor bar every time.
Sorry I'm late. Teller is probably our best OL this year, but he has a bit of Allen Iverson in him. He got on Fuente's bad side because he wasn't giving full effort in practice and lost snaps early in the season. I'd say he's a top 10 G in the country talent-wise, but where he lands on team's lists might be dictated by his interviews.
This topic isn't about accuracy, it's about being a closer. I personally don't trust someone who has almost an equal TD/Turnover rate to close a game over someone with over a 3:1 rate.
I know you said top 5, but I'm going to give you 6.
Matt Ryan
Big Ben
Drew Brees
Derek Carr
Phil Rivers
Matt Stafford
Those 6 are the only QBs in the league that are top 10 in yards, touchdowns, and QB rating.
Also, with Lynn allowing Tyrod to choose his progression based on the defense and matchups, I think he's getting a lot of 2 deep looks that are causing him to prioritize other routes more often.
