Ben Roethlisberger was devastated when the Steelers didn’t retain Bruce Arians as offensive coordinator after the 2011 season. They had a unique relationship. Arians said Roethlisberger was like a son to him and said he was Roethlisberger’s crazy uncle. The two made it to two Super Bowls together, three if you count the 2005 season when Arians was wide receivers coach.


That put new offensive coordinator Todd Haley in a tough spot. Roethlisberger was slow to accept change, perhaps even slower to accept him. But look at the two now. Roethlisberger is playing the best football of his Hall of Fame-caliber career. The Steelers offense has become the NFL’s best even without All-Pros Le’Veon Bell and Maurkice Pouncey and left tackle Kelvin Beachum.


Here’s what’s ironic:

Roethlisberger and Haley are so good together that Roethlisberger might be looking at another change after the season........

I know people don't like having Todd around, but we've been able to get to the absolute best out of Ben and the rest of the offense since Todd has been here. There are times when his play calling may not make sense for whatever the situation calls for, but majority of the time the play calling is pretty good.

But Tom Brady can tell O'brien to fuck off and it's a funny story

Not really. It was a pretty good article detailing the journey between them and the rest of the offense, including how selfless everyone is.
