'Is that a serious question?' NFL Network analyst say Allen better than Big Ben

Marc Ross says Josh Allen is doing things Roethlisberger can't do anymore

Is Josh Allen a better quarterback than Ben Roethlisberger right now?

When asked the question on the Fan Morning Show Wednesday morning, NFL Network's Marc Ross asked, "Is that a serious question?"


Ross 100 percent believes that Allen is better than Roethlisberger.

"What you saw Josh Allen do the other night, that was MVP caliber play that he had and Ben doesn't have that in him anymore and what Josh Allen can do in the pocket now, running but also creating plays outside the pocket by buying time and throwing there's only a few quarterbacks who have the ability to have all those three phases that he does," said Ross.

Allen was named the AFC Offensive Players of the Week for Week 13 after completing 32 of 40 passes for 375 yards and four touchdowns, in Buffalo's 34-24 victory over San Francisco.

Roethlisberger went 33 of 53 for 305 yards and two touchdowns in Pittsburgh's 23-17 loss to Washington.

Roethlisberger is also dealing with an offense that can't muster much of a run game and his receivers lead the league in dropped passes, making matters more complicated.

So while Allen is young, dynamic and impressive, is he the person you turn to for a late-game drive?

"I'll still take Ben over Josh Allen right now," said Morning Show co-host Chris Mack.

"It's all different circumstance and different situations, I don't think it's the blowout that Mark Ross made it . . . I don't think it's a laugher."

We'll get a chance to see who handles the pressure better of Sunday Night Football at 8:20.
