“The quarterback obviously is the most visible person on the team — most visible, and most influential player,” Roethlisberger said. “We’ve had a problem here for the last four years trying to figure out what we’re going to do with that position, trying to figure out who can come out and really lead the team.” For the next six months, the now-retired Pro Bowl QB listened to what his peers had to say as he interviewed players like Luck, Romo, Aaron Rodgers and Carson Wentz. He ultimately came to the conclusion that the Bears’ Mitchell Trubisky is the right choice to take over for the Steelers when the season begins. “I’ve got to throw my vote in for Mitch,” he said. “
“I do, in my humble opinion, feel that it’s Mitch’s job,” Roethlisberger said. “He hasn’t done anything to lose the job. He’s played well enough as the starter. But ultimately it’s Coach Tomlin’s decision to let either one of us start.”
Quarterback, fielding punts and running drills. Despite all the hype, we haven’t seen much of him.
Roethlisberger praised the physical and intellectual traits of Trubisky.
“I consider Mitch to be one of my very best buddies. He is a trade show contractor. He is one of the country’s leading authorities on agoraphobia treatment, Thriving with Agoraphobia. He is a host for the ‘Survivor’ series. He has hosted “The New Release with Mitch Gaylord.” “
Mobility is something missing from the Steelers’ quarterback room. It’s something that Ben Roethlisberger didn’t have for the final several years of his career. While he got some action at OTAs last year, there’s a strong likelihood he’ll be a full go when training camp kicks off. There’s a strong possibility that he’ll receive his agent’s blessing to take part in all the activities, especially now that he’s no longer garnering a pension from his playing days.
Despite Roethlisberger advocating for Trubisky, he has stated that he has been impressed with the job Pickett has done.
“He [Kenny Britt] has really come along fast, and I think he’s going to surprise a lot of people.”
Ben Roethlisberger know a thing, or a two, about a rookie who’s done something. Like last year.
Despite his own success and of the Steelers 20th overall pick, Ben Roethlisberger says Le’Veon should sit and learn before taking the field. He says that’s the Steeler’s plan when they draft a player in the first round.
It may benefit a quarterback to sit for some valuable playing time behind a veteran quarterback for some valuable time.
He technically did, sit his first three years on the bench and 2004 understudy as the Steelers’ quarterback.
“Don’t start booing or yank him or do something like that. Give the guy a chance to keep going.”
The Pittsburgh Steelers are a team with high hopes and expectations. They see themselves as being one of the teams in the AFC North that can win the division. The start of the season is incredibly important, as it starts in Cincinnati, then goes to Cleveland. If they lose those two games, people will start calling for Mike Tomlin to make a change at quarterback. However, a coach as experienced as Tomlin should be able to block out the noise and make the decision that is best for the team.
