I looked at variety of statistics that were provided by the PFR query, then ranked the players in each category and took the average of each player's rankings. While this analysis is not exactly the same as the ones that I mentioned above, I followed the same general process. I just thought that would open it up too much. I also thought about Aaron Rodgers, but he's only started three seasons, so I would have had to drop the bar to 12,000 career passing yards.
I set the bar at 16,000 passing yards in order to include Tony Romo, because he is one of the QBs in my mind that has been one of Ben's contemporaries, a la Eli and Philip Rivers. I just wanted to see how Ben stacked up against a fairly large sample size. But, my goal here was not another comparison of all time greats. That would, of course, include some of the all time greats, but it also includes some of the "Hall of Very Good," as well as some "just ok" QBs. Using their Player Season Finder, I ran a query on all QBs that had 16,000 or more passing yards in their first seven NFL seasons.

I also posted an article comparing Big Ben to Eli Manning several years ago while I was between jobs and free to do more research and writing than usual.Īfter a long hiatus since then, I thought it might be a good time to look back at Roethlisberger's statistics through seven NFL seasons, and then compare his numbers with other QBs, both retired and active, who have started a sizable number of games like Roethlisberger has since 2004. There are a couple of my posts still linked at the left side of the main page, comparing the numbers of the some of the top RBs, WRs, and QBs in NFL history. As some of you may remember, I've enjoyed contributing a statistical post to BTSC every now and then.
