Roethlisberger’s career regular-season winning percentage of .669 ranks third among active NFL quarterbacks with at least 50 starts. He also ranks third among active quarterbacks with 95 regular-season victories, trailing only Peyton Manning (167) and Tom Brady (147).
[QUOTE=steeler_fan_in_t.o.;607242]He spent most of his career with one of the top running backs of this generation, and the same at TE. He plays in an environment that is ideal for putting up big numbers, has had a strong D for most of his career, and has played in possibly the weakest division during the collective time of his career...that is what he has done in this league. :D[/QUOTE]
sd defense nowhere near what ben has had
heath has been here
ben had good running game the same time tomlinson was there
cleve = oak, balt = denver, cincy = kc.pretty similar divisions
So, if the teams and divisions are so similar, the difference between two rings and zero rings has been Ben...

He played well enough in the playoffs that year to get us to the Super Bowl where his defense, running game, and a Randle El to Ward TD pass was enough to win it. Rivers has never played well enough to guide a team featuring LaDainian Tomlinson, Antonio Gates, Vincent Jackson, Shawne Merrimanm, Shaun Phillips, etc. to the Super Bowl in the first place.

Well, this poster seems to think that SD had a strong defense for most of Rivers' career:

I agree with him...

Nobody said "the same"...

Comparing divisions, let us count how many times the teams in the divisions have been good over the course of their careers. For the sake of argument I chose ten wins in order to call a team good.
Since 2004, how many ten win seasons?
AFC West:
KC - 3, 66 wins
Oak - 0, 49 wins
Denver - 4, 93 wins
SD - 4, 100 wins
AFC North
Browns - 1, 51 wins
Bengals - 4, 82 wins
Ravens - 5, 95 wins
Steelers - 6, 105 wins
So, Browns > Raiders, Bengals > Chiefs, Ravens > Broncos, Steelers > Chargers. It isn't always by much, but it is across the board.
Anyone who has been following football the last ten years can tell you that the AFC West and NFC West were the two worst divisions in football for the majority of the time.
