He only played QB for I think 18 games in college so when you compare him to say Luck it is reasonable to say he has less experience, and in his best year as a pro he learned a new system.

I love Ryan Tannehill, but IMO Big Ben is the second best QB in football and has a number of good years left in him. I don't think people appreciate just how good he is.
That said,

still a rapist
He wasn't the only one. Colts brought in Hamilton for Luck and Wilson was Bevell's (also a Wisconsin QB) project whom catered the offense scheme to what he had in Wisconsin. Those factors greatly helped the 3 best QB's from the '12 class to transition to the pro game.
yes but he got to ease into the NFL in a system he knew and was comfortable with. he had 20 starts in college I believe and then kept growing in that same system the first 2 years. he was ready for new challenge last year, he wouldn't have been ready for that challenge as a rookie.

catering and running the same system are different but this is a fair point. Wilson had different advantage such as Lynch, Luck had much more talent to throw to.

I'm with you. Ben is so underrated. Not sure he's #2 but outside of Brady and Rodgers I wouldn't take anyone else ahead of him.

This is exactly what I've been saying. He's fixed a major flaw each season. His rookie year, he got the ball batted down at the line of scrimmage all the time. 2nd year, he fixed it.
In his 2nd year, he had a fumbling problem. In year 3, he fixed it.
In both his first two years, if he had a bad first half, he usually had a bad 2nd half as well. In his 3rd year, If he had a bad 1st half, he made adjustments and had a decent or good 2nd half.
In year 3, he had trouble with the deep ball. In year 4...well, I'll let you guess how that's going to turn out...

Not only was he a Wide Receiver, but an All-Conference Wide Receiver with a 1,000-yard season under his belt...

Whats your point?
He wasn't a qb, he was a WR.
He had catching up to do. Stop trying to say it any other way.
You can't compare 1 season of experience with guys who had 4. Theres a bug difference there.

He was moved to WR moreso because of their lack of depth there, than the fact that he couldn't play QB.

I wasn't saying he couldn't play but he got beat out
he had more than 1 season of experience, you are downplaying how much experience he had to make excuses why he started out slower. Not every QB is ready to enter the league and light it up. it's not a knock on him to say it took a few years to get going.

we'll see. we will learn a lot this coming season.
I know all I need to about him. Other's will just be playing catch up.
time to prove it, you can have every quality you look for but until it's proven on the field it's pretty meaningless.
