    Our future back up might already be on the roster.
    Trolls are people too.

The problem with drafting young developmental QB's is that they don't get enough reps or playing time to be effective when they play.

    What killed the team today were the turnovers. I believe the Steelers win the game today if they didn't give the ball away.
    This is a crock!! Batch cannot get the ball out without it wobbling. He has no arm strength what so-ever and no mobility. Jerrod Johnson would have had the Browns at least respecting his ability to take off and run. That kid had a strong, accurate arm. Batch is horrible. You can sugar coat it any way you want Batch is horrible.

    Sounds great, but he probably finds a bad team that gives him a chance to start.

    It's not a crock and I wasn't attempting to sugar coat anything. Fans can know the facts and continue to ignore facts. Batch made some nice throws and not so nice throws. Sounds like what many would say about just about all 3rd string QB's around the league. It's the same thing that I would say about Jerrod Johnson based on his play in the preseason. Running QB's have a hard time winning games without the ability to consistently hurt defenses passing the football. Like Dennis Dixon had the ability to run when he was with the Steelers but couldn't make defense pay consistently enough in the passing game. Fact, most 2nd and 3rd string QB's in the league are horrible. Some teams value 3rd string QB's so much that they don't even carry one. Oh and the great Jerrod Johnson isn't even on an NFL roster. The situation is what it is. The best hope is that the team can limit mistakes and pull out close games until Ben can return.

    See, you just proved my point. You really aren't paying attention to what really happens on the field. Jerrod Johnson is more known for his being a pocket passer than he is for being a running QB. But never mind..........

    Jerrod Johnson was pretty solid this year for the Steelers in preseason. 14-21 for 236 66.7% 2 TD's and 0 INT's

    Newsflash.....Batch and Byron suck. Anybody trying to come to their defense you might as well dip that turd in some chocolate and take a big bite. They both have the admirable back up QB qualities of immobility, fragility and advance old age. Next year we need to draft the heir apparent to Ben so the learning curve can begin.

    I didn't prove your point. Jerrod Johnson isn't even in the NFL right now. But never mind.

    The problem with fans is they always believe the next man up/cut was the answer. The reality is that 98% of the time the guy cut would be the same or worse then the guy the team decided to keep.
