The crazy thing is, and I'm guessing most aren't aware of this stat, Ben finished his career with a slightly higher comp% than Brady. Everyone refers to Brady as pin point accurate and usually Ben as not always an accurate passer.
WTF are we doing?

His pump fake
His ability to excel as a play breaks down
His skill after taking contact
All second to none
We were blessed
I would love to know all the QBs accuracy percentage on the move. I would be shocked if Ben wasn’t top 3.
Shocked PFF doesn't have that.
I asked IZ my chatAI to make me a list and I think it is pretty fair:
“If we’re talking pure throwing accuracy on the move, my personal historical list might look like:
Aaron Rodgers
Steve Young
Patrick Mahomes
Ben Roethlisberger
Russell WilsonI would always debate BigBen was top 5 in this category. Now add in tackle breaking ability and we know who would stand tall..

Ben is criminally underrated because he didn’t play like Brady, Manning, and Brees and the media just didn’t like him. Imagine his all-time numbers if he was healthy throughout his entire career.
Or if he had an offensive minded HC
We pretty much thought the same thing after reading that, too funny.

Your list is very commendable, but I’d have to add a couple things with move up involvement of Ben.
Patric Mahomes isn’t quite the accurate as some think. I’m only going by speculation of my eye view test. I’ve had to endure more Chief’s games than I wanted due to my employee being a Chiefs fan. Mahomes had some luck in crunch time, but so had BEN.
It was more a consistent throw and catch while scrambling for Ben (piss poor OLs) where as Mahomes had way better protection.
As for Steve Young, he scrambled and took off more of the time than throw. He also had more stable offensive line protection. His scrambles were less intensified than Ben’s (due to being flooded from the get go), Young continuously had more time.
So in conclusion, I’d move Ben Roethlisberger up two spots and like I’m saying this is purely speculation and by my eye test.
Great list slash, thank you.
Salute the nation
