NFL fans roasted Ben Roethlisberger for his absurd take on Lamar Jackson’s passing abilities

NFL fans let Ben Roethlisberger have it over his hot take about Lamar Jackson’s abilities as a passer.

Former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger tossed out a very stale take on his podcast Footbahlin this week.

While talking about Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, Roethlisberger said that NFL teams do not fear Jackson as a passer. No, really, that’s what he said.

“You don’t really fear Lamar’s arm, his accuracy, all the time,” Roethlisberger said. “He’s got a huge arm; he can make things happen when he scrambles … you don’t fear him just sitting in the pocket and picking you apart.”

As you can imagine, Roethlisberger’s take did not go over well with the grander football community. Folks were quick to call shenanigans on Big Ben’s scorching hot take about his former AFC North foe.

 

In fact, Jackson has actually posted a better pocket passer rating than Roethlisberger did in throughout most of his career.
