Pittsburgh Steelers: There’s a difference between Tommy Maddox’s situation and Ben Roethlisberger’s

Everyone seems to be okay with the fact that Mason Rudolph is going to sit on the bench for three years, except for the person who’s starting in front of him. After 14 years in the NFL, you’d think Big Ben would be calm under pressure. But the two-time Super Bowl champion isn’t handling a young backup like many expected him to.

Now, everyone is bringing back the past, reminding Roethlisberger that even his predecessor was upset about the pick when Pittsburgh brought in their future quarterback. The difference, though, is that Ben was brought in to replace, Rudolph was brought in to learn.
