Someone said that Ramsey played better than Roethlisberger yesterday - as if that were really important.

Let me show you how meaningless single game stats can be in terms of evaluating the overall value of players.

Yesterday:

Roethlisberger 9 for 20; 131 yards; 0 TDs; 0 INT; sacked 4 times

Ramsey 19 for 34; 138 yards; 1 TD; 1 INT; sacked 5 times

AJ Feeley 17 for 33; 159 yards; 1 TD; 1 INT; sacked 1 time

So obviously, if you were starting a new team and had to take a QB and these were the three options open to you, you'd take AJ Feeley, right? And of course Roethlisberger is clearly the worst of the lot, right?
