Everyone seems to have an opinion as to which direction the Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a> should go in addressing the future of their quarterback position \u2014 and the legendary Ben Roethlisberger<\/a> made his opinion on the subject crystal clear.<\/p>\n

On a recent episode of the Deebo & Joe podcast, Roethlisberger argued the Steelers<\/a> would be better off targeting one of their former quarterbacks \u2014 Josh Dobbs<\/a> \u2014 who was just released by the New England Patriots.<\/p>\n

“Here’s something I would consider that happened recently,” Roethlisberger said<\/a>. “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.”<\/p>\n

Roethlisberger and Dobbs played together from 2017-2019 and from 2020-2021 with the Steelers, where they developed a close relationship.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
