With the way that the game of football is played in the NFL today, it is now truer than ever that a team generally only goes as far as its quarterback is able to take them. Now, no quarterback does it all on his own, of course. He needs a good line to protect him, and targets who are on the same page with him and can make the plays that he doesn’t hit on the nose.
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger knows better than anybody that he hasn’t been able to take the team very far yet this season, posting just a 1-2-1 record through the first four games of the year.
