Relationships with an organization’s quarterback, especially their hopeful future of the franchise, are critical. As the quarterback goes, so does the rest of the team.

When he was hired in 2007, Ben Roethlisberger was already established, a Super Bowl winner and the obvious long-term answer.
In his weekly interview with Steelers.com’s Bob Labriola, Tomlin explained his relationship with QB Kenny Pickett and how it might differ from other coaches in the league.
