Roethlisberger says Steelers should sign 1 QB with ties to Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh Steelers legend Ben Roethlisberger revealed his own personal plan of attack for the quarterback position, which involves Josh Dobbs.
Everyone seems to have an opinion as to which direction the Pittsburgh Steelers should go in addressing the future of their quarterback position — and the legendary Ben Roethlisberger made his opinion on the subject crystal clear. On a recent episode of the Deebo & Joe podcast, Roethlisberger argued the Steelers would be better off targeting one of their former quarterbacks — Josh Dobbs — who was just released by the New England Patriots. "Here's something I would consider that happened recently," Roethlisberger said .
"Josh Dobbs just got released by New England. I would strongly, if Aaron is not coming back, I'd love to bring a veteran guy in like Dobbs, who's been here. Obviously a new system, not the same coaching staff, but bring a veteran guy in.
" Roethlisberger and Dobbs played together from 2017-2019 and from 2020-2021 with the Steelers, where they developed a close relationship. Dobbs, a literal rocket scientist with a major in aerospace engineering, is often regarded as one of the smartest quarterbacks in the league and could help further develop second-year quarterback Will Howard as the Steelers decide where to go next at signal caller.
