If Ben Roethlisberger returns, expect the Steelers to go all-in again

It’s still up in the air as to whether or not Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will come back for his 18th NFL season in 2021.

At least I think it is. I don’t know. Roethlisberger isn’t necessarily pulling a 2017, but even if he were, there are a lot of Steelers fans and media members who would be hoping for the opposite decision this time around.

Even if Roethlisberger does come back next season, the confidence in Pittsburgh parlaying that into a championship run is pretty low among many folks. The reasons are layered. For starters, you can cite Roethlisberger’s declining play as the 2020 season unfolded.
