Steelers legend Terry Bradshaw is going to bat for Ben Roethlisberger … telling TMZ Sports the QB is a “great leader” and the criticism of him from former teammates is incomprehensible.
“I don’t understand it,” Bradshaw says … “He’s a great leader. He is. He’s solid.”
Of course, Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell REALLY disagree … they’ve taken turns this offseason pummeling the QB for the way he’s commanded the team as the face of the franchise.
In fact, AB wrote on Twitter just a couple weeks ago, “He has a owner mentality like he can call out anybody including coaches.”
No conflict just a matter of respect! Mutual respect! He has a owner mentality like he can call out anybody including coaches. Players know but they can’t say anything about it otherwise they meal ticket gone. It’s a dirty game within a game. #truth https://t.co/MsSyBVd3Ny

Le’Veon added in an interview with Sports Illustrated, “Ben wants to win his way, and that’s tough to play with.”
But, Bradshaw thinks the criticism is unfounded … telling us, “I find him to be fine.”
Terry’s biggest problem with the whole drama now??? He says it’s cost the Steelers a TON of firepower … and he’s concerned the team might miss the playoffs for the second straight year.
“I’m worried about our team.”
As for Ben … Bradshaw’s got no worries that he might leave, telling us Ben will get a new, big contract from the team sooner rather than later.
“He deserves it.”
