Former Steeler compares Ben Roethlisberger’s chance of another Super Bowl to a ‘bad episode of Space Jam’

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger’s chances of another Super Bowl are discussed on ESPN’s Get Up.

The Pittsburgh Steelers had the worst quarterback situation of any team in 2019. Without a typical offseason, their backup QB situation didn’t improve. But Ben Roethlisberger is back, even if head coach Mike Tomlin has yet to see him throw a pass.

When ESPN’s Get Up host Mike Greenberg asked Ryan Clark why can’t a healthy Big Ben get the Steelers back to a Super Bowl, here was his answer:

“Because he’s in a bad episode of Space Jam. They’ve got Monstars over there in the AFC. They’ve got a Monstar named Patrick Mahomes, and they have a Monstar named Lamar Jackson. And I don’t care if you bring on Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck. I don’t care which one you bring in there, sometimes the Monstars are gonna win. So, you can get the Space Jam elevens on, but that don’t mean that you’re gonna get to the Super Bowl. I think the Pittsburgh Steelers are gonna be really good… But it does not matter. When they’ve got dem two boys, playing in the AFC, we gonna be watching Ben the same place as we watch him in the Super Bowl because we’re just gonna go sit down together because he ain’t going back.”

Sure, the AFC has only gotten better since Big Ben threw his last pass nearly an entire season ago. But he’s had all of that time to heal up, rehab and get in shape to return to the game he loves.

Maybe Clark forgets the year before Ben’s season-ending injury, he threw for a career-high 5,129 yards and 34 touchdowns. Just because that was 2018 doesn’t mean he can’t put up similar numbers and get one for the other thumb.
