I don’t disagree with Stephen A, David needs to humble himself quick, however to say his opinion doesn’t matter cos he’s trash at football, whilst you’ve never played the game seems extremely hypocritical

[thenorsepioneer]

So stephen A can criticise a PRO but when a PRO criticises a PRO its blasphemous because he wasn't on ben's level

[pablopablo]

Who else thought it said Derrick Carr and that’s the only reason you clicked lol

[doraball]

Every time Roethlisberger gets injured the Steelers turn into a trash team. Only true steelers fans that watch the games know this is true.

CMON STEPHEN A REAL NFL FANS KNOW THAT THE TEXANS DIDNT GIVE DAVID CARR ENOUGH HELP NOR A OFFENSIVE LINE

[jross]

ON A MUDDY DAY!😭😂😂😂😂 Stephen A. Is a must see lol

[Almighty_stiffarm]

Yeah I’m a little bias as a Steelers fan, but Ben was winning super bowls before bell and brown

[kevinmitchell]

So Big Ben wasn’t good before them. So he doesn’t have two Super Bowls and went to 3 smh he was great before brown and bell

[theveganator]

They’re tripping thinking that Big Ben is not in the top 10! He still has escape ability. Watch his highlights from last year. He make great throws that are on point for AB and Le’Veon Bell! When AB went out for the three week he was still on point... y’all sleep! Smh 🤦🏽‍♂️

[jesussandoval]

Stephen A’s logic here was stupid. Carr’s criticism of Big Ben comes from the position of an analyst, not another quarterback. Saying he can’t criticize Ben is the same as telling journalists that they can’t criticize pro athletes. Max was on point.

[stephen]

Dude got to two superbowls and is a pro bowler every year. How the bleep you gonna put him below Matt Ryan and Jimmy G who has played 5 games as a legit starter.

[kingtim_ade]

i guess Stephen A Smith has a new its not Jay Cutler, Jeff Fisher, Tony Romo, Slava Medevenko, Kwame Brown, Rasho Nesterovic, Tiago Splitter, Brett Favre, Tim Tebow, Jamarcus he goes by the name of DAVID CARR lol!!!!

[skysonit]

I'm a Raider fan, far as I'm concerned the sorriest QB that ever walked on the field and got paid out the ass for being the biggest bust is Ja'Marcus Russell!!! Then there's Ryan Leaf!!! Those are the biggest busts!! Carr at that time went to sorry team with no line they had nothing!!! Although I may disagree with what he said, he is a sports anaylist now. Stephen A sometimes runs off at the mouth himself! He has never played the game at no level! But, he has criticized Tony Romo and a list of others with insults about everything from on field play to the comments they make Via "Big Ben" this past season when he struggled and made the comment about not having it anymore. So before Stephen A calls out a dude who was a very good QB in college and the number one pick and played well enough to stay on a roster in the league for awhile.Stephen A should look in the mirror and see he is guilty of harsh criticisms and insults over the years "Tim Tebow" and realize that at least Carr has played the game and he is a sports caster now and he's doing no more talking than him! Real Talk!

[TheCrumpers]

Did anyone see Ben play his ass off in that Jags game(playoffs)?? He played incredible.

[austinryan]

David Carr wasn't that bad, he just got a hall of fame beating for the first few years in his career and his career suffered from it.

[oscarmeza]

Wasn’t watching the nfl that early but I’ve read the real reason David Carr didn’t flourish is because the o line and team just flat out sucked

[cryogeneric]

Isn't David Carr an analyst on some network? I dunno, the job of an analyst is to analyze and we can discuss the merits of their analysis but if every analyst had to better than the people they analyze we would have very few analysts. Max has this one right.

Ben is definitely a top 5 qb first of all. And before Antonio Brown was even good ben was still putting up GREAT numbers. These people don’t know wtf they talking about
