Regarding Dobbs, Roethlisberger has been talking up the fact that the team did this twice in two years. He frames it as "so did they screw the pick last year or did they screw it this year?"

Guy is as complete a douchebag as I've ever seen.

Ben has always been a big douche.

When you run your mouth for 2 seasons about retiring, what do you expect?  Unless of course you were never gonna retire, just trying to blow smoke for some big raise or something.  BR is a jerk for sure

If you're the Steelers, do you want to hear your quarterback spouting off like that though?

To be fair, it's not like we didn't already know Roethlisberger was an a--hole. Pittsburgh has chosen to put up with him, although the story at one point was that a significant portion of his teammates hated his guts.

He has no self-awareness whatsoever.

When he was crushing it on the field everyone looked the other way. Now the talent isn't so great that he can't be replaced.  Imagine the stink if he get benched before he decides to retire. He would be a big enough douche to do a Brett Favre and play for the Ravens. Lots of fireworks still to come

I honestly don't have anything against what Ben said as it is the inconvenient truth. He has to take care of himself and make sure he's ready.

Especially Cam 

For all I've ever seen, he seems to be a gem of a guy. We really got lucky there.

If the both lost their jobs this season would anyone pick either of them up?

There had been word that the Panthers might take a mid-round quarterback in this draft, but it didn't happen. I suspect if it had, Newton would have been more gracious about it.

In Pittsburgh and Baltimore though, looks like they're set to have real interesting training camps.

I'm not disagreeing, but there's a big difference. We would be drafting a back up sine Cam's still in his prime, but Big Ben and Flacco's replacements are being drafted.

The truth of the story is Ben was discussing how he didn't understand taking someone in the 3rd round who can't help the Steelers win now after he told the organization he was playing for another 3-5 years. 

"I was surprised they took a QB because I thought maybe in the third round you can get some really good players that can help this team win now. Nothing against Mason I think he is a great player. I don't know him personally but I'm sure he is a great kid. I just don’t know how backing up or being the third, who knows where he’s going to fall in the depth chart but helps us win now but that’s not my decision to make that’s all the coaches and the GM and owner...if they feel like he can help our team, so be it but I was a little surprised.” 

Finished it off with a joke (he was laughing) saying he would just point to the playbook if Mason had a questions since he said on draft night he didn't need Ben to show him anything (wasn't really what Mason said).

Easier to just write the catchy headline "Ben refuses to mentor new QB!" and let people run with it. 

I've never really liked Ben and I get the feeling he can be an a-hole but this story had been spun.

Flacco is the most overrated QB of all time.

Ben touches little girls and is an asshole. Technically he hasn't done poo in years either.

also not panther related.
