Pittsburgh Steelers - John Clayton

Is Ben Roethlisberger comfortable with the coaching change and the offseason?
Ben Roethlisberger wanted more responsibility as a passer, but wasn't ready to handle it. The motorcycle accident and the appendectomy certainly didn't help. Bill Cowher and Ken Whisenhunt are gone, but some of the same offensive coaches remain.

Roethlisberger seems to be working well with offensive coordinator Bruce Arians, as the Steelers try more spread sets. The coaches are even letting Roethlisberger handle the blocking adjustments. The gloves have been removed, and it will be up to Roethlisberger to take control of the offense.

Re: Pittsburgh Steelers - John Clayton

Classic case of "be careful what you wish for..." - Roethlesberger said he wanted the offense to run through him, and so it shall. But he's clearly not ready. He's not an accomplished quarterback, he's shown that he can get rattled and I question his accuracy and decision making. He looked very good as the QB of a run-first team, but I fully expect him and the Steelers team to struggle this season.
