He's a goofy. He'll bash Russ but big up Big Ben.
Ben has been carried by a great defense and running game in the start and end of his career. In the middle years he had the Killer B's. Alot of the talent Ben played with were successful before and/or after him. When he's been called upon to be THAT guy he's fallen on his face more times than not.
Meanwhile, Russ on the other hand has played more years WITHOUT the LOB and Beast Mode than with them. Yet, outside of this season due to Russ being hurt, Seattle still won with the lack of a running game and a historically bad defense.
Ben has played for 2 HOF coaches who's won games without him. And Russ played with Pete Carroll, who's was phenomenal is college but average outside of Russ.
If the argument is that Russ isn't an all time great yet, then I get it because he isn't in that upper echelon (Brady, Montana, Manning, etc.), but to prop up Ben like he belongs in that category instead is ridiculous. Russ is holding Seattle together by a thread. He deserves better.
