There is a reason he is not .500 in the nfl.
...and you have seen it in the first half of tonights game.
He is the antithesis of finesse.
Let's pray he gets in a groove the 2nd half and throws a few more long balls.

Unless Batch saves the day we'll be 0-3 in those games.Originally Posted by fansince'76

They need to put Batch in, especially if his shoulder is hurting him. You guys should remember, Byron Leftwich is an NFL draft bust. He lost his starting job to David Fricking Garrard, and Garrard lost his job to Josh McCown
This is painful to watch....Terrible on 3rd down
can you say stinking it up ? ....
I can ...

It may be adrenaline and trying TOO hard.
Hope he can settle down.

Lefty feeling the pressure of a big rivalry game and is trying way too hard is what his problem is.
The Ravens aren't throwing anything at him, he's just freaking out over nothing. He'll get it together. He has to.

Make us eat some crow Byron! Do something!

Terrible decision on the last play
Next week, why don't the Steelers try to start a more capable QB and try to lure turnover tommy maddox out of retirement, Sheesh.

Leftwich was injured but it does not excuse him throwing the ball too hard.
He was beyond terrible tonight.
The more critical the play / down the worse he played.
Whether we win or lose I hope we do not play him again.
Just my honest opinion.

It was like watching Kordell Stewart all over again tonight.

QFT,
For those i love i will sacrifice.

Doesn't matter if you have a cannon arm if you're not accurate.

Agreed...and I hope all those who slandered Batch are happy.
Not the ones who said they simply preferred Lefty but the ones that called Batch names as though NOTHING could be worse than Batch.
The irony.

You can call me whatever the hell you want, I don't want Batch starting and my mind will not be changed after tonight's performance. So you can just stuff it.
Array title="zulater has a reputation beyond repute">
I bet they wont though. They'd rather lose proving they're smarter than everyone else. The only way we'll see Batch is if Byron is too injured to answer the bell. The fact that he went on the field for the last drive, and was allowed to tells you who will start in next week's loss to the Browns.

Tsk tsk! And you a mod.
We'll all be "stuffing" another loss in our Christmas stockings if Leftwich is allowed to take the field against the Browns.
Charlie Batch wins games. Who needs style points. We need wins.

I don't give a shit. I don't like or appreciate being called a bonehead simply because I don't want Batch starting.

Have to go with Batch next week.
Kordell was at least a good RBIt was like watching Kordell Stewart all over again tonight.

Well flaco still sucks!
Considering how hard-headed this stupid coaching staff is and the fact that the terms "Benching ineffective players" and "adjusting plans" are as foreign a concept to them as life without electricity, I guarantee you fat Mark Malone starts
This performance was seriously on par with Maddox's one-game comeback in '05 when he completely lost his shit and had to split time with Randle El until Ben got back. A game that defines you as "done playing at an NFL level." If they start Leftwich again, they need their heads examined. Batch is no sunny day at the beach, but at least he gives us a better chance than THAT.
See you Space Cowboy ...

Good post.
"A man's got to know his limitations."
Honestly im gonna take a better game manager at QB and thats batch. Remember those 2 timeouts we burned quickly that all on leftwich!!
Array title="zulater has a reputation beyond repute">
Yep sure was.

Got to give some blame to the sidelines on those calls. Looked like the plays were not coming in fast enough.
Putrid play by Leftwich. Besides a miracle rushing TD that nobody saw coming, not even him, the rest was awful.

What did you guys expect of of Byron??
That he was going to torch their anemic secondary and run touchdowns in himself????????????????
