Eli manning vs ben roethlisberger stats8/13/2023 Look how long it took Peyton Manning, or John Elway to win a big game and you can see that this guy has been terrific since his first snap. Like the greatest NFL quarterbacks of all time, Roethlisberger has been doing this since his rookie year. Big Ben set a NFL rookie record in 2004 with five comeback wins in the fourth quarter, and six game-winning drives in the fourth quarter/overtime (including one playoff game). This is nothing new for a guy that wasn’t even drafted in the top ten. ![]() ![]() When is the last time you heard anyone refer to Ben Roethlisberger with the same kind of reverence that is used when speaking of Tom Brady, John Elway, and Peyton Manning?

On a list compiled by the NFL stats website, Roethlisberger ranked 10th all time for NFL fourth-quarter comebacks. The clutch play of Roethlisberger in the fourth quarter is not only magical, but it is the type of quarterback play that makes legends and believe me when I tell you that decades after he is retired, Big Ben will be a legend. The Steelers are always given credit for their defense, but if there defense was so great than Big Ben wouldn’t need a comeback altogether. Is there no better leader than putting your team on your back and not only bringing taking them out of a deficit but put them in position to win on top of that? Talk about the ultimate sports pressure. If being a great NFL quarterback means being a great leader then Ben Roethlisberger is arguably the best in the NFL with Brady up for debate. Whether it is Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, Tom Brady, Philip Rivers, Peyton Manning, Tony Romo, Eli Manning, hell even Donovan McNabb when media and analysts talk about elite NFL quarterbacks rarely do you ever hear Ben Roethlisberger included in the conversation and that is quite frankly a disgrace.
