Im afraid we are comparing apples to oranges here...

we don't have a 16 game season from Pouncey during the last two seasons to make that assessment.

Well, the comment was about the best offensive lineman on the team, not the healthiest. Pouncey is simply a better player than Max ever was.

Who's comment are we talking about? If we are talking about mine.. I said Max was the best OL the last two seasons. If we look at on the field production... it's hard to dispute that. Is Pouncey a better player "When healthy"? I would tend to agree.

I think Pouncey has regressed since his rookie season and Max was definately the best lineman on the team in 2011. I thought he should have been the team MVP that year picking up for the failed Jon Scott experiment.

If you can't make an assessment on how good Pouncey has been because he only has played a 16 game season once in his 3 year career, then we must have no idea whatsoever how good Ben is, since he has only played a 16 games season once in his 9 year career.

I do remember Pouncey making the pro bowl the year the Steelers made the superbowl... yet missed half the year.. kinda like Troy has done in the past.

Where did you see that in Ruth's post? I didn't see a comparison between Ben and other QB's. Maybe I missed something.
