PITTSBURGH — Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger says offensive coordinator Bruce Arians is like "a grandfather." Arians prefers "crazy uncle." The two are extremely close. Know that going in.
"He's a first-ballot Hall of Famer in my mind," Arians said of Roethlisberger. "He's won two Super Bowls and been to a third. He's not done with Super Bowls, I believe. Even if he stopped right now, he'd be a first-ballot guy."
The man gets no argument here.
Roethlisberger will play in more Super Bowls, win more Super Bowls and ultimately be remembered as the greatest quarterback in Steelers history. That leads to today's question:
Is Roethlisberger healthy enough to get the Steelers to the Super Bowl this season?
"I think so," he said late last week. "I know I'm going to take some hits. I know that. But I plan on being like Cool Hand Luke. I'm going to keep getting up ...
"I think I can make it all the way."
Are you willing to bet against Roethlisberger?
I'm not.
I know Roethlisberger will be considerably less than full-go today in Denver when the Steelers play the Broncos in an AFC wild-card playoff game. It's hard to imagine him being full-go at any point during this postseason because of his famously sprained left ankle. Roethlisberger said he's OK with that.
Unlike the many second-guessers out there who think they are medical experts — you know who you are — he said he has no regrets about how he and the team handled his injury after he first went down in the second quarter against Cleveland on Dec. 8.
