Pittsburgh Steelers QBs
The Steelers made a mistake this season and it ruined their year. The Steelers rushed Ben Roethlisberger back too early even though Charlie Batch was playing great. I know, hindsight is always 20/20, but they should have waited until Ben was 100%. “Big Ben” has been playing scared all season and it all started when the Jaguars hit him in the gut. Roethlisberger has completed 64.1% of his passes for 1,779 yards with 7 TDs and 14 INTs. His QB rating has sunk to 72.2, which is awful for him. Ben is scared to run the ball as he only has 10 carries for 11 yards and he is holding the ball to long as he has been sacked 23 times already this season. He shouldn’t be on the field until he feels better, and I blame that on Bill Cowher…..he should know better than that.
Charlie Batch has been outstanding when given the opportunity to play. He has completed 24 of 39 passes (61.5%) for 410 yards with 5 TDs and 0 INTs. Batch has an unbelievable QB rating of 136.8. I wonder what would have happened if the Steelers started him a couple of more games early in the season until Roethlisberger was fit.
You are absolutely right. I agree with 110%. Charlie Batch is a very good QB, he is not afraid to move. Ben should have taken off the whole year. He is on the wimpy side this year. Any way I say Charlie should be the guy.
I don’t think I would call Roethlisberger wimpy for playing. I do think that he’s a dingbat and is lucky that he hasn’t really been injured badly yet.
