Roethlisberger Believes Trubisky Should Enter Season As Steelers’ Starter: ‘Hasn’t Done Anything To Lose The Job’

The Pittsburgh Steelers have spent the past six months figuring out who will replace Ben Roethlisberger. If Roethlisberger had a vote based on the current Steelers’ roster, he’d pick Mitch Trubisky. In the debut episode of Roethlisberger’s new podcast Footbahlin, Roethlisberger weighed in on the Steelers’ QB situation and who he thinks should start Week One at Cincinnati.

“I do, in my opinion, feel that it’s Mitch’s job,” Roethlisberger said. “He hasn’t done anything to lose the job. He’s played well enough as the starter. But ultimately it’s gonna be Coach T’s decision.”

Mike Tomlin’s yet to officially announce a starter but all signs point to Trubisky being the Week One guy.
