Ryan Switzer: Big Ben Has ‘Exhausted All Efforts To Get Back To 100 Percent’ This Offseason

Ben Roethlisberger has been the subject of some controversy this offseason, pretty much all of it coming in the ‘stupid’ variety. From his newsworthy haircut to his practice habits, the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback has been talked about quite a bit for somebody who hasn’t played in eight months.

But you can’t say he hasn’t thrown in eight months. In fact, he has been throwing since February, which even he admits is a change of pace for him. He has mentioned a number of times in recent years that he limits the amount that he throws in the offseason to save his elbow.
