It certainly wasn’t pretty, but in the end former Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback Ben Roethlisberger believes he went out on his own terms into retirement following 18 seasons at the helm of the black and gold.
Though he may have held on a bit longer than many believed was right, Roethlisberger — who spoke with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Ron Cook Wednesday ahead of the first Steelers’ training camp without him in 18 years — stated that he still believes he played well and feels that is arm is still good enough to play in today’s NFL, even after major elbow surgery three years ago that put his career in jeopardy.
