Shannon Sharpe Rips Roethlisberger For Being A Terrible Leader & Throwing Teammates Under The Bus (TWEET)

It’s crazy to even comprehend that the the Pittsburgh Steelers were once 7-2-1 and poised for a playoff spot, but now sit here at home getting set to watch the playoffs and dealing with controversy after controversy since Week 17 ended.

Amid the Antonio Brown controversy came in starting QB Ben Roethlisberger who decided to throw Le’Veon Bell under the bus and essentially blame him for the team falling apart towards the end of the season and missing the playoffs.

Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said the “distraction” of their franchise-tagged running back never showing up clearly hurt the team this year, as they missed the playoffs by a half-game.

“It hurts you when you don’t have one of the better players in the game,” Roethlisberger said during his appearance on 93.7 The Fan. “But I think the biggest thing that hurts us was that it was a distraction.

Shannon Sharpe noticed a pattern in the Steelers QB and he did not like it. So, the Fox Sports’ personality took to Twitter and blasted Roethlisberger for his behavior. 

Big Ben is terrible leader. He’s a finger pointing, divisive, selfish player. Who constantly looks for someone to blame or throw under the bus for his shortcomings. Le’veon situation was the prob now. Le’veon wasn’t the reason 7-2-1, but the problem for missing playoffs. FOH

Steelers players said a lot when J. Harrison was released and join the Pats. When Le’veon held out, but gone radio silent after what AB did last wk. AB’s behavior, Ben’s divisive, finger pointing and selfish behavior is either coached or condone and both falls on the coach
