I'd imagine Ben is motivated

Not in the top 100. 3800 yds 3 to 1 tds to int. All those wins to start the season. Yes he had let down at the end. Some of it was him. Some of it was other teams realizing the weaknesses of the team and his coaches having no answer. For three quarters of the season he was among the top QBs in the league. Ben is 100% a first ballot HOF player but mark my words he won't be first ballot. He is just too disliked.
 
Yes he will be a first ballot HOF inductee. He will hold multiple records in addition to appearing in three SB’s winning two of them. Six time pro bowl QB.
You are right though, he’s very disliked and does not get the respect he rightly deserves, but the voters cannot ignore the stats and accomplishments of Ben.
 
I think he wants a ring. I think he wants to end on a high note. He knows his days are numbered. He wants that last taste of success before he rides out into the sunset. I think that is what ultimately matters to him. Anything else will be secondary thoughts for a later date.

Who gives a **** about the top 100? It's filler programming on the NFL Network.

it isn't about me giving a ****. It's just disrespectful. And don't kid yourself. Some of these guys lose their **** over their Madden player ranking.
And the one that is gonna piss him off and I can almost certainly guarantee will be his first shot at the HOF.

I'll remind everyone again that there's 1696 players on active NFL rosters. Ben is ranked at #110, which still puts him in the top 7% of the league, at the ripe age of 39. Where's the disrespect? I think you're kidding yourself if you think that Ben, in particular, gives a ****.

I think if the team plays balls-out and HCMCS does the best coaching job of his career, we see 9-8 and the usual wild card playoff loss. It's simply his ceiling and as good as he can do. We have a tough schedule this year.
 
The NFL Network didn’t “construct” this list.
The list was voted on by current NFL players. No other input is considered.
It’s not network executives, talking heads, best writers, scouts, GMs, etc.
It’s people that play with and against these players.
 
Lose sleep. No but I guarantee there is no one on the team.that fuels the fire with the disrespect and dismissal more then Ben.
 
If you think Ben sees himself as the 3rd best qb in the division 4th in some eyes and that doesn't light the fuse fore the training and the pain. You are all dreamin

I think your SB number is off by at least one by the time he's eligible.

I hope he gets a ring and retires. Only fitting for him.
The offense and defense are skilled enough to make a run

A ring? You think? Here I thought he just wanted to get Tomlin a .500 or plus season.

I hope I'm wrong but I don't think this team ever gets to another Super Bowl with Head Coach Mikey Cool Shades.

Never said the NFL Network constructed the list. But they certainly pimped the **** out of it.

Big Ben the gunslinger going for his last rodeo
 
I think his motivation started long before this useless list came out.


He wants to go out like his Mentor / friend / fellow player............ Mr. Bettis.

I agree totally and I think the reason they did what they did with him in the SB years was because he left the x's and o's to more experienced assistant coaches.

I'm sure he wants to. But getting to and winning a superbowl aint easy. So many moving parts.
 
I just don't get the disrespect. Early in his career is was because he was a jerk. The Aaron Rodgers drama is 5 times Ben. And Rodgers is 5-10 x a jerk.

You never hear Ben's name listed on QB's to watch this season. TV can't stop slobbering over the rookies, Brady, Mahomes and of course ever show leads off with a Dak update.

13-0 and a rookie. 11-0 (should have been at least 12) last year.

Can't wait for the season.

I don't think Ben cares about the player rankings and is just trying to go out there to win as many games as possible.

So, business as usual?
