People always say Brady is a product of his system, and I say so what? Montana was a perfect fit for the Niners system. It`s not a putdown to say this about a QB. Just be happy you have a great QB and stop making such outrageous claims. He isn`t Manning, he isn`t Aikman, and He isn`t Elway. He is Ben Roethlisberger, Superbowl winning QB.

Well, I guess I misunderstood what you were saying then. You can compare him to them and say he isn't like them yeah, but to say who's better at this stage in the game is what I was referring to not being able to do. We're looking at finished products with Manning, Aikman, Elway etc, whereas Roethlisberger isn't anywhere near his max potential yet (I hope anyway lol). I was comparing him in style to Elway, not greatness.
And I disagree that Brady, Montana, Big Ben type guys are products of their system. They make big plays when they need to, and do what they have to. Not every QB can do that. I made no outrageous claims whatsoever, unless I misworded something and it came out differently than I intended.
There is nothing outrageous in comparing styles or types of players. Comparing a guy who played 2 years to a HOF as far as saying he's as good as them, yes....that would be outrageous, but that's not what I did...or at least not what I intended to imply.
