That said, this is a direct line from the article:
"Some would argue that the change was neither immediate nor permanent, but the anecdote from Arians confirms that Roethlisberger was once on the Ryan Leaf track and that, to Roethlisberger’s credit, he changed. Eventually if not immediately."
The author is merely reporting on an anecdote and takes it with a grain of salt.
He also seems to be focused primarily on Ben's maturity in the locker room and towards his team mates. That's an area in which one could argue he DID grow in those next few years, even if other areas of his personal growth were stalled.
