FS1 host Joy Taylor is not happy with Ben Roethlisberger.
Earlier this week, Roethlisberger criticized Jackson’s pocket presence by saying teams don’t fear him when he stays in the pocket.
“You don’t really fear Lamar’s accuracy all the time. He’s got a huge arm, he can make things happen when he scrambles, but you don’t fear him just sitting in the pocket and picking you apart,” Roethlisberger said. “You can bring safeties down because you do fear him running because he’s a different level runner. So you fear that, so you bring safeties down
“But now, if you’ve got [Beckham] on the outside, you better put a safety back or it’s one on one, you could just throw it to him. It definitely creates some potential opportunities for that offense and for Lamar to run if he has to or to take those big shots down the field if he needs to if they bring the safeties down.”
RG3 took offense to Roethlisberger’s comments and blasted him for it.
“Teams FEAR Lamar the runner MORE THAN the passer, but don’t use that to tear him down.
For example, Lamar’s Career Passer Rating and QBR in the pocket is better than Big Ben”

On the latest episode of SpeakonFS1, Taylor ripped into Roethlisberger over his take.
“I am tired of this conversation around Lamar Jackson. Let’s come together and throw these takes in the bonfire and cleanse ourselves of this conversation,” Taylor said.
