Brandon Marshall: Biggest Issue With Ben Roethlisberger Returning Is His Stubbornness

The debate on whether the Pittsburgh Steelers made the right decision to bring back veteran quarterback Ben Roethlisberger for 2021 started last week and will now likely continue until the team’s season comes to an end. On the recent heels of it being determined that Roethlisberger will indeed be back for an 18th NFL season in 2021, the major hot takes were flying around entering the weekend even more than Roethlisberger dropped back to pass on average last season.

Former NFL wide receiver Brandon Marshall, who is now an analyst on ‘First Things First’ on Fox Sports 1, let it be known headed into the weekend that while he understands the Steelers decision to bring back Roethlisberger, what will make it the correct one all depends on the attitude that veteran quarterback has and especially toward new offensive coordinator Matt Canada and the kind of offense he wants to run.
