No one can beat Father Time. Not even the greatest players of all time. Thatās why itās not a surprise to see that Ben Roethlisberger has struggled to lead the Pittsburgh Steelers as he was used to doing it earlier in his career.
Big Ben is set to enter his 18th campaign in the league. Heās done it all and won it all and itās not like he has anything left to prove at this point in his career, yet he refuses to call it a day and hang up the cleats.
You canāt win in the NFL unless you have solid play from your quarterback and some Steelers fans are concerned about Roethlisberger entering the season. Nonetheless, Cam Heyward has strong faith in his ability to carry the load this year.
Cam Heyward Says Ben Roethlisberger Can Still Lead Them
āWe know heās an explosive quarterback that can throw the ball all over the field. But I think around [him], weāve just got to be complementary, whether itās on offense, defense, special teams,āHeyward said on NFL Network.
āBenās still got the goods,ā Heyward added. āAnyone that tells you otherwise, they havenāt really looked at football. You give that guy a good running game and tell him he doesnāt have to throw the ball 50, 60 times, heās going to be that much more dangerous, and I think weāre looking forward to that. Itās going to be pretty good, longevity-wise, if he wants to keep playing.ā
Big Ben struggled with an injury two years ago and wasnāt the same accurate dart-thrower he used to be last season. Then again, heās got the talent and the experience to at least put together one more playoff run before retiring. Also, itās not like heās got any competition for the starting quarterback job right now, and the running game hasnāt been exactly helpful either.
