Steelers fans foolishly expected the 2019 backup quarterbacks to perform like Ben Roethlisberger

On my weekly podcast with co-host Bryan Anthony Davis on Monday called Steelers Q&A, the main theme had to do with the Steelers preparedness in 2019 and whether or not they—mainly offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner—were actually ready to move forward after quarterback Ben Roethlisberger went down in Week 2 with a season-ending elbow injury.

Bryan’s opinion was that the Steelers, especially Fichtner, were not prepared and they were caught with their pants down. My opinion was that the Steelers weren’t prepared, but also, DUH!

BAD also asked me over and over again if they would be better prepared in 2020 in the event of another major injury to Roethlisberger.
