Ben Roethlisberger Disputes ESPN Report That Future is in Doubt in Reassuring Christmas Day Tweet
By Mark Powell
If Ben Roethlisberger hasn't blocked you on Twitter, you're not powerful enough.
The Steelers QB reassured his followers on Christmas morning that, despite the report of one Chris Mortenson and others, he is "determined" to make a comeback from injury after undergoing surgery on his elbow.
P.S. Contrary to recent reports out there about my football future and my ‘uncertainty’ about playing again, I am working hard and am more determined than ever to come back stronger and better than ever next year!

Roethlisberger rarely tweets from the account of his official website (we're unaware of any burners), but given the questions surrounding his future and the Steelers quarterback play as a whole, Big Ben opted to reveal the truth regarding his status directly from the source rather than through a team-issued statement.
Without the services of the future Hall of Famer, the Steelers have been forced to rely upon the likes of Mason Rudolph and Duck Hodges, two quarterbacks who have (unfortunately for Pittsburgh), revealed themselves to not be up to par.

Now possessing an elite defense and a multitude of weapons at the skill positions (despite losing Antonio Brown and Le'Veon Bell), a Steelers team with Roethlisberger at the helm ought to have playoff aspirations come 2020.
