Pittsburgh Steelers former offensive lineman Jonathan Scott only played for the Steelers for two seasons. 

Apparently, that was more than enough time for him to develop a negative opinion of Steelers legendary quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. 

Taking shots at his integrity, leadership, and even ability to win the Super Bowl, Scott didn't hold back:

Jonathan Scott: "Ben Lacked the Capacity to Lead"

"I think he just didn’t have the capacity to be a leader," Scott said on a recent episode of the Select Few Podcast. "There was a constant dissonance between my experience of what I thought leadership would be from a quarterback and what I experienced."

Ben was never known for being the most personable of leaders, but you would be hard-pressed to find any of hs former teammates, or coaches echo similar sentiments. 

Ben embodied the cliche, actions speak louder than words. He would go to battle with his teammates week in and week out, often dealing with a multitude of injuries that we never even knew about, as discussed by him and Mike Tomlin on Ben's podcast Footbahlin.

But as if Scott didn't make a big enough fool out of himself with that statement, he doubled down with some asinine comparisons:

"I remember Ben got hurt and Chuck [Charlie Batch] came in and we went 4-0 without Roethlisberger," Scott said on behalf of the 2010 season that ended in a Super Bowl loss for Pittsburgh. "They had to put Ben in because he was Ben, but I am thoroughly convinced if we would’ve stayed with Chuck, we would’ve won the Super Bowl. I can say that with confidence. Easy."

Well, despite being in the league for seven years, apparently Scott never grasped the concept that football is a team sport, meaning yea, if you have a considerable backup similar to Batch, he can come in and win you games. 

That's literally the definition of "Spot Starter" and is the reason why many teams invest draft capital in that position. 

Unfortunately, Scott wasn't done, putting a cherry on top of his hater sundae:

"He had a certain level of integrity to the game, on and off the field," Scott said about former Texas quarterback Vince Young. "It was an undying commitment to be great. It was infectious. It made you desire to want to be in his presence. I didn't get that experience with Ben Roethlisberger."

So apparently, Ben Roethlisberger "was incapable of leading" would have been better off on the bench in the 2010 Super Bowl, and had less integrity than Vince Young did as a college student, yet he was 28 years old with a championship ring on his finger.

I think it's safe to say that someone left that episode looking bad, and it wasn't Ben Roethlisberger.
