Hard-luck Leftwich aching to play

Byron Leftwich would prefer to have absolutely no luck than the kind he has had in the past two seasons with the Steelers.

"This game of football is a humbling game. It teaches you a lot," said Leftwich, the team's No. 2 quarterback. "But things happen. Guys get injured in this league all the time. Unfortunately for me, the last few years it's been biting me a little bit. But I got to believe that at some point I'll be healthy, stay healthy and help this team."

He'd love for that point to arrive this year, because it has been a tough time since his return to the Steelers in 2010.

And in other news, Byron just ruptured his Achilles when he tripped over a Gatorade bucket...

I not understand why the backup QB of the steelers are always injured

This is ridiculous!

It's tough work holding that clipboard. They should stretch more before games.

Lefty has got to do better conditioning or something. The dude is made of glass.

Haley will yell Byron's head off and hurt his feelings so his ego will be injured. He will continue his IR vacations. :chuckle:

I get tears in my eyes even thinking about what he looked like walking off the field that day. Rarely have I ever seen a grown man scream in pain like that.

No offense, but I hope we don't need him for a single snap. If Ben is out for any significant amount of time, we're dead meat. That's just the way it is.
