    Isn;t this like #3 or 4, he is getting to that danger level. He had one a couple of years back, then the motorcycle incident and now this one, I believe its 3? I don;t trust his decisions when he is thinking clearly many of the time, not his fault though, his O-line sucks. He still holds onto the ball to much and tries to make a play with his feet a bit too often.

    If the running game can get going, then it will take a lot off of Ben. They Steelers pass way too much. Granted we have 3 good receivers. But Willie needs a boost. And might have gotten it last game. Also, we might have the best back-up QB in the NFL. So I'm not as worried as some.

    In this offense, you might actually be right. In Ken's old system, not a chance.

    Leftwich has looked great this year in the limited time he's been in there.

    If the Steelers lose it'll be because that defense broke. I think Ben/whoever will do his part in trying to get you a win.

    I seriously hope we keep him. Look at his TD run. The fans love Byron.

    Most times I'd agree with you. With the secondary this strong, it's on the O-line, and Ben. Willie Parker, Moore and Russel are three names that if they are the reason we win, we will win the Super Bowl.

    You have to think that he will be starting somewhere else next year. Is he under contract next year?

    Bryon got signed to a one-year contract after Batch got hurt. We do have Dennis Dixon, but he is only a rookie.

    That sucks for you guys. They probably could have gotten some decent compensation for him via trade.

    Yupp, considering Batch is probably done soon. But you never know, he could come back. But it's early to say this.

    There's probably going to be quite a few teams looking for a QB this offseason and its hard to imagine him not signing with one of them. I could see him ending up as a Jet.
