The league-wide state of the QB position is so bad, that Ben could be in a wheelchair and a have broken right arm and still be a top 10 QB.
I’m not sure he’s a top 10 QB now without that wheelchair & broken right arm.
He is 9th in yards so he makes the cut there.
18th in TDs
37th in rating
19th yards per attempt
He is 5th in INTs so solid top 10 there.
We are 6-2 so hard to be too critical but if we are being real here we could be 6-2 with a lot of mediocre QBs handing the ball to Leveon Bell a league leading number of times.
With a handful of QBs that are currently playing better than Ben we could realistically be 8-0.
He’s been a part of the problem unfortunately right along with Haley, Tomlin, and the receivers not names Brown or JuJu.
This coming from a long-time Ben homer.
Yeah, I didn't look up the stats before posting that, but I share these general feelings, as well.
I keep seeing people blame the system, receivers, etc...and I don't doubt they share some of the blame. But there's just so many throws that should be easy that he's not being precise with right now. Wide open crossing patterns, simple dump passes, etc.
When I'm watching the games, I find myself constantly yelling at Haley for not attacking the deep/intermediate middle of the field more, but on the rare instances that Ben does throw passes, I also find myself cringing at what the result is going to be.
