We all know that football is a team sport, and Tom doesnt play defense so he cannot win on his own, that and he is to slow. But it doesnt mean a player cant carry a team, say like brees did last year, you put almost any other qb in his position, do the saints do as well, probably not, but you never know. I'll be the first to say it that during the three superbowls the last two especially the Pats D was really good, but you still need an offense. The Steelers have had a great D and will continue to as long as Lebeau is there. So they rarely get in a postion where Ben has to bring them back, part of the reason TB has been talked about being a great Qb is his last minute heroics and drives to set up the field goals to win the superbowls (its still a game winning drive if they score enough points from that drive to win, no matter if its a TD or a FG).
Ben is growing into a better qb and i think after this season he could be in the 5 of the league, so long as the OL doesnt get him killed. I think when I first saw some really good things out of him, now mind you i dont watch that much steelers ball, was in the AFC Championship last year, the steelers couldnt run at all so Ben took the team on his back and made the throws and advanced the chains, and that is what a great quaterback does.
Lastly, Jim, if your here to have an inteligent discussion about football, make some points, but don't expect this place to be free of bias it is a Patriots board after all. But the " Wow, you are really pushing your luck. Ask any knowledgeable patriots fan, and they will tell you that tom terrific can most certainly win a game {games} by himself." comments aren't welcome.
