I don’t know if there’s been a shift in the national media posture or if this is simply selection bias on my part, but several big-named reporters and analysts have struck a much rosier picture about the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2021 chances.
Peter King is the latest to speak optimistically about the Steelers and in particular, QB Ben Roethlisberger. He joined the Dan Patrick Show to discuss his expectations for what could be Roethlisberger’s final year in the league. King is drinking the Slim-Ben Kool-Aid, noting he looks in much better shape than a year ago.
“When you saw the picture of him walking into training camp, looking like Ben Roethlisberger of 2008 instead of what he looked like last year,” King told the show.
