Bleacher Report is one of the most enigmatic football websites on the internet, with a curious mix of actual journalism and lightweight fodder with little attention to detail. Following a recent article that appears to have forgotten about the very existence of Steven Nelson, another article now calls for the Pittsburgh Steelers to release quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, and using shaky logic and statistics to make the case.
Author Brad Gagnon begins by arguing that Roethlisberger “looked tired and defeated” even before he season-ending injury, then added, without evidence, that he lacks a “health regimen like [Tom] Brady’s”, even though we already know, since we actually follow the team, that the quarterback has been more health-conscious than he has been pretty much at any other point in his career.
