so in other words, there is NO difference between say Tim Couch and Joe Montana, or Kyle Boller and Peyton Manning. It's ALL the receivers, right?

The numbers wont mean shit. Ben will win the game. That's what he does. That's what good quarterbacks do, win games. But just for the record, I'd still bet on Ben to out produce Boller in that situation.
btw, here's a comparison for you, from that same 12/26 Steeler Ravens game:
In the first half of that game, the Ravens ran more plays (15 rushes, 18 passes) and had more time of possession (16:53-13:07) than the Steelers (12 rushes, 15 passes). And yet not only were the Steelers winning (10-7) but also Ben's passer rating was TWICE that of Bollers (101.2 Ben - 53.9 Kyle).
so much for doing nothing but hand the ball off.
