Ben Roethlisberger Tabbed As Steelers’ ‘Biggest Bust’ Ahead of 2021 Season

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: if you are in the national media and aren’t criticizing Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, you’re apparently doing it wrong.

Bleacher Report’s Brent Sobelski became the latest in a long line of Roethlisberger detractors Friday, labeling the future Hall of Fame quarterback as the Steelers’ biggest bust ahead of the 2021 season. That’s not to say Roethlisberger was a bust for his career, Sobelski rights, but he says the veteran quarterback could hinder the Steelers’ chances of competing in 2021.

“For the purposes of this article, potential busts will be identified based on the possibility of them hindering their respective teams this fall instead of looking at them as long-term failures, as is the traditional designation,” Sobelski writes.
