I thought this would be pretty simple to grasp. For years, the Steelers had a top-of-the-NFL defense. That hasn't been the case for a long time now, and Ben helps mask that. If they lose Ben, they don't have the defense to make up for mediocre QB play.
And you’re missing the bigger picture. It doesn’t matter if they have a top flight D or a shitty QB or whatever scenario you want to create in a vacuum. They might have a down season here or there but ultimately they will find a way to win and that’s that. They always have.
