Fox's Top 100 Players: Ben #4

Re: Fox's Top 100 Players: Ben #4

Ben is not in front of Terry but he is well on his way.

I still would have to put Lambert, Greene and most of the D on the list ahead of those 2.

Our D is what made us a feared unit and set the tone for our run in the 70's IMO.

Re: Fox's Top 100 Players: Ben #4

B > T ... that's a tough one ... I think on balance I'd have Terry #1, at this time. If Ben stopped playing as of today would you list them that way, Flip, or are you anticipating an excellent rest of career to make that ranking?

Yes, I anticipate Ben will continue as he's started his career. And I give him the edge because Terry wasn't great immediately like Ben.

I'd be mixed if Ben stopped playing right now. I'd probably have to drop him down. But I wouldn't want to. I really believe Ben is a better QB and his rookie season, his playoff record, XL run on the road, and the entire 2008 season including XLIII makes a strong case. But I'd give Terry the slight edge because of the SuperBowls.

Greg Lloyd made us feared, but as good as he was, never won a SuperBowl. QBs win SuperBowls, so I see a big gap between Terry/Ben and the other players.
