If you can only have Ben or AB...

Post by Legacy User » Thu Jan 14, 2016 6:15 pm

for this week. Who you picking?

For me, while we really need AB, I think the dropoff from Ben to laundry/vick is way more vast. Id take Ben.

Ben if he can throw it downfield, if not I would go with AB.

It's not about who they are, it's the backups who would replace them.

We have a deep WR corps. And like most other teams the dropoff from the starting QB to his backup is very difficult to overcome

Ben. The way I see it:

AB is not as effective without Ben throwing.
Ben can be effective without AB catching.

You could win in this league without your top WR.

You can't win in this league without your stud QB.

Ben.

If Roethelisberger can't throw deep reliably, then AB.

But i'm not sure Landry and Vick can throw short reliably.

And they wouldn't find AB an opening even if they could.
