If there is one topic on which Le'Veon Bell and Antonio Brown agree, it's Ben Roethlisberger.

With two members of the Steelers star trio departing Pittsburgh, questions have been swirling about the personal relationships. Brown has publicly stated that he didn't have a personal relationship with his quarterback, to the point that they didn't spend offseasons together or go to each other's houses. He is trying to change that in Oakland by working out with Derek Carr and spending considerable time with him.

As it turns out, Bell feels the same way as his former teammate. As he explained to Jenny Vrentas of Sports Illustrated, the Steelers are all about winning games and reaching the Super Bowl, but he feels they aren't approaching the process in the right way. Like Brown, Bell believes that Roethlisberger has too much power in this process.

"The organization wants to win," Bell said. "Tomlin wants to win. Ben wants to win—but Ben wants to win his way, and that’s tough to play with. Ben won a Super Bowl, but he won when he was younger. Now he’s at this stage where he tries to control everything, and (the team) let him get there. So if I’m mad at a player and I’m not throwing him the ball—if I’m not throwing A.B. the ball and I’m giving JuJu (Smith-Schuster) all the shine or Jesse (James) or Vance (McDonald) or whoever it is, and you know consciously you’re making your other receiver mad but you don’t care—it’s hard to win that way."

While this statement would be troubling in a vacuum, it also fits succinctly with statements made by Antonio Brown before his trade to Oakland. The former Steelers wideout did a Q&A session on his Twitter account, during which he was asked about the source of conflict between him and Roethlisberger. As Brown wrote, it came down to a level of respect or lack thereof.

"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"

Are Brown and Bell telling the truth about the locker room and Big Ben, or are these comments made with bitterness? It's impossible to truly know, but what's fascinating about these separate comments is that they don't exactly fit with some of the other players. Longtime guard Ramon Foster said that Bell "doesn't give a damn" when the running back missed week one's tie with the Cleveland Browns, and he also recently expressed his admiration for the Steelers locker room while saying that this team is not known for issues. Foster continued to explain that reporters could ask any member of the Steelers if playing in Pittsburgh was a terrible time, and they would all deny it.

Unfortunately, the true stories behind Brown and Bell leaving the Steelers will never be known, barring all parties involved sitting down and hashing out the details in a public forum. Instead, the "Killer Bees" will be known more for back-and-forth comments on Twitter and even more hearsay.
