Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger went on SiriusXM radio toward the end of last week to discuss a variety of topics. One subject that came up—courtesy of show host and former quarterback and teammate Bruce Gradkowski—was the idea of quarterbacks feeling the need to get the ball to certain players a certain number of times.
Like, you know, Antonio Brown, who if not named in this piece would be the elephant in the room. We know that Antonio Brown wanted the ball, a lot, because he said it. We saw the tantrums that he threw on the field and on the sidelines when he wasn’t getting the ball, especially in certain situations, or even on poor passes that came his way.
