A decent off-season read, since the Steelers are mentioned....

Top 10 quarterback controversies in NFL history

Bledsoe vs. Brady
It may seem silly now, but replacing the No. 1-overall draft pick/face of the franchise with a little-known backup was once a big deal in New England.

Bradshaw vs. Gilliam
Teetering on the brink of a dynasty, the Steelers went into their first Super Bowl season and chose Joe Gilliam over Terry Bradshaw.

Aikman vs. Walsh
Looking to light a fire in No. 1 pick Troy Aikman, Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson drafted a second QB -- Steve Walsh -- in the same offseason.

Schroeder vs. Williams
After being shamed by Jay Schroeder in the NFC title game, Doug Williams got the last laugh by taking the Redskins to a Super Bowl win a year later.
Watch clip | Williams' legacy | Fields of Glory | Recalling Super Bowl XXII
Flutie vs. Johnson
After signing Rob Johnson to a hefty contract, the Bills got fan favorite Doug Flutie for much less. What followed is still a point of contention in Buffalo.
Watch clip | Flutie curse? | Flutie shows mobility | Johnson: Flash in pan
Hostetler vs. Simms
Having two Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks on the same roster competing for one job put the Giants in a precarious spot.
Watch clip | A look at Simms' career | Super Bowl XXV highlights
Brees vs. Rivers
With Drew Brees already on the roster, the Chargers made a draft-day move for Philip Rivers. Immediately, there was controversy.
Watch clip | Brees' 2008 highlights | Rivers' gutsy AFC title game effort
Van Brocklin vs. Waterfield
The Los Angeles Rams of the 1950s were on the cutting edge of offensive innovation, thanks to the play of Norm Van Brocklin and Bob Waterfield.
Watch clip | Van Brocklin's big opener | Stats: Van Brocklin | Waterfield
Morton vs. Staubach
Tom Landry's decision to go with Roger Staubach over Craig Morton helped set the course for the Cowboys to become "America's Team."
Watch clip | 'Captain Comeback' is born | Staubach No. 4 clutch QB
Montana vs. Young
Like Van Brocklin and Waterfield before them, the 49ers had two future Hall of Famers at QB. Unlike those '50s Rams, the 49ers' QBs couldn't coexist.
Watch clip | Young vs. Montana in '94 | Retrospectives: Montana | Young
