I disagree with all the above.
1. Except for his 2006 injury year ben has always ranked above either Manning or Brady.

2. If they were catering to the team most people wanted to see then it would be the Steelers. They have the largest fan base in the NFL. Incidentally Pitt has the most female fans as well. http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/20750560/ |
1. Is this passer rating? Regardless, having the best passer rating isn't an "exceptional" feat. Someone does it every year. An exceptional feat:
Crushing the record for most TD passes in a season
Coming a game away from being the second team in history to win every game in a season
2. We were talking dudes, not teams. The media is way more focused on superstars these days it would seem, not who is playing like a team.
