    Looks like Jerrod Johnson (6'5 250") will go to the practice squad with the Batch and leftwich on the sideline.

    Unless you Drew Brees instincts it is very hard to break into this league as a short QB

    I yield to the wisdom of the Commish. Who am I to suggest otherwise?

    That didn't last long. Wish he would've challenged Batch or Leftwich for a roster spot. Would love to have McCoy in battling for a spot!!

    The collective age of the projected 3 Steeler's qb's is 100. And I'm not making it up to be funny. Do the math; Batch 38, Leftwich 32, Ben 30.

    Yeah, but we have the best third string QB in the league!

    (Remember the MNF announcer saying that about Elvis Grbac).

    I'm not complaining. One thing's for sure, we don't have to worry about Haley wasting his time on some developmental qb this summer.

    Yep, BUT he (and Tomlin and the FO) MUST address the backup QB need for the 2013 season. I hope they do that ASAP

    Where's the "pure passing white QB?" I wouldn't mind having that as a back up for a little couple seasons. Not to get all Rush Limbaugh on everyone...

    That would be nice, our brand new OL can help that type of QB a lot
