PITTSBURGH — Everyone in town has an opinion on the Steelers' quarterback situation right now. And that includes the guy whose void Mitch Trubisky and Kenny Pickett are looking to fill.
Ben Roethlisberger weighed in on the debate in the fourth episode of his new podcast, recorded Sunday and released Monday evening. And he thinks fans were a little too hard on Trubisky for his role in the Steelers' 17-14 loss to New England in the home opener at Acrisure Stadium.
"I just don't think that it's fair that it happened to Mitch today because I wouldn't blame Mitch for the performance today," he said. "I don't think he was bad. Did he miss a couple throws? Yes. Every quarterback ... I just saw Aaron Rodgers miss a throw and he's one of the greatest to ever play. It's going to happen sometimes."
