PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers are unquestionably Ben Roethlisberger's team, according to general manager Kevin Colbert.
Colbert called Roethlisberger the "unquestioned leader" of the locker room who has the freedom to publicly criticize teammates if he sees fit.
"He's the elder statesmen and the Super Bowl winner," Colbert told a group of local reporters Wednesday. "If our players were smart, they'd listen to him because he's been there. He's done it. He can tell them, 'No guys, what you're doing is or is not good enough to do this.' "
