Roethlisberger is definitely a contender, but I'm pretty sure this is in the wrong forum. Justice will be swift and painful.

I would view the pro sports forum for trivial pro sports concerns...like free agency, the endless Kobe/Lebron debate, and how far down the division will the Indians finish.

this is clearly serious business.

it deals with fat.

I like Big Ben because I root for the Steelers. But you're right, he is too fat.

He might be too fat for some, but he still produces.

Regardless, there is no way in hell he's #1. Lorenzen was always referred to as the 300 pound QB, when have you ever heard anyone refer to Big Ben as that?



LOL, Ben isn't even close to being that fat.

The extra weight may actually help Ben. He's as big and strong as a bull, and it's very hard to bring him down.

I agree. Even if he's skinny he's not a speed guy. He's a power runner if anything, he's interested in throwing the ball and it helps him stay on his feet to do that.

I think its funny that Lorenzen is wearing rib protectors in that pic...does he really need them? His ribs havent been close to the surface in a long, long time.

Not so fast, my friend. If the "Throwboy" is weighing in at 285 he is svelte compared to the recent 290-295 that JaFatAss Russell has been listed as.

Roethlisberger is only in that 260 range even though, facially, he looks like Mike Myers impersonation of "Fat Bastard."

Going with "the round mound of touchdown" Jared Lorenzen.

That's a girdle to help keep the rolls from affecting the throwing motion.
