Wow. I really wish I had your optimism. Batch was a helluva QB about four years ago. Now…not so much. I really don’t know what you’ve seen of him in the past few years that leads to such optimism. I know the Steelers definitely don’t share your assessment or else they wouldn’t have been planning to release him before Byron got hurt.

Batch is a hellofa QB. I think he’s the best they have right now. In my book, he’s way better than Leftwich. This guy has had some really unlucky breaks…literally. He is a true master of the game. I just hope he can hold up for a whole game. The new O-line seems to be better at protecting the passer, so hopefully everything is goiing in their favor now, although it may not be obvious to most.

Maybe they are not saving Byron after all.. Maybe he is still hurt and not in game condition… they probably want him to play backup this week.

All I’m saying is if Leftwich is your #1 QB and he’s healthy, why not start him? We haven’t heard who starts but it seems they’re leaning toward Batch. If they’re “saving” Byron for the Ravens, I think that’s a mistake to think you can beat the Bucs without your best players on the field.

Indeed the point has been made. Last year we failed to do what was expected of us. We were sundered by the lowbie teams and learned a valuable lesson. DO NOT underestimate the pups nipping at the heels. I will say this. Tomlin knows we are waivering on the QB possition, the D knows this hell the team as well as the QB knows this. If we are all fans of the Steelers then we all know the recipie for success, run it down the throats of evey team we come play. We dominate the clock, keep the other teams O off the field and smash them again and again. We dont need a superstar QB, it’s great to have in the back to keep them off thier game, however. Stick to the plan !!! RUN RUN RUN
