Ravens Legend Offers Shocking QB Opinion
The AFC North holds some bitter rivalries. Maybe no matchup between the four teams holds more meaning than when the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens meet.
Which is why it's so shocking when a former player who was involved in that rivalry comes out and has something nice to say about a player on the other side.

But that's exactly what happened when former Ravens linebacker and two-time Super Bowl champion Terrell Suggs discussed his former rival and Steelers quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger, on a recent episode of The Rory and Mal Podcast.
"I would say [Ben] Roethlisberger is underrated," Suggs said. "He got more rings than [Aaron] Rodgers. He got more rings than [Drew] Brees. He got like more rings than [Dan] Marino. He's got as many as Peyton and Eli [Manning]. So I would say Roethlisberger, he's probably the most underrated."
To say Roethlisberger is "underrated" seems odd, especially since he's typically mentioned with some of the top names to play the position.
If you look at the list of names that Suggs mentioned in association with Big Ben, all but one - Eli Manning - are either Hall of Famers or considered sure-fire inductees.

Rodgers and Brees aren't in yet, but are commonly thought to be first-ballot Hall of Famers when their times come.
Manning won two Super Bowls, both over the New England Patriots and Tom Brady, and has a good chance, but isn't considered a lock, and was a finalist for the Class of 2025 but did not receive the necessary votes.
