Ben Roethlisberger is the not harmless meme of the Pittsburgh Steelers. He actually is a detriment to City, Team, Organization and Culture. The mockery of those Great Things especially with Le'Veon Bell and Antonio Brown tarnishes Big Ben's Pro Football Legacy.
And, that leaves Mike Tomlin with having to helm a Rebuilding Steelers. Generally, the Steelers where the model of having to sign everyone of their Draft Class, Avoiding Holdouts, and not reaching in for Undrafted Players.
What would make me rage is as in TV Ratings, and had Aaron Donald been a Steeler instead of a Ram, we'd sell a lot more posters and have Crushing TV Ratings. What we'd have is Success instead of Culture and that is not knowing or being ignorant of Franchise Histories.
The Steelers Culture is longer and more sustained than that of the Baltimore Colts and Green Bay Packers heydays and if it was not Bus's Tackle, the "One For the Thumb" Chant would still be done. What is alienated in Steeler Country is the Jacket Backer and for every NFL Thing we have made, there is guilt that the Jacket Backer has not been brought up.
