Livinginthepast Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Wow I dont like the Steelers but I found myself cheering for Charlie Batch against the Ravens. There is something very old school about Batch's mechanics when he throws or even when he hands off that reminds me of the NFL Qbs back in the 80s. The guy played a hell of a game and beat one of the best Ds in football. And this from a 38 year old, 3rd string Qb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Yes, the Steelers 3rd String QB is better than our 1st string QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Jose Bills Fan Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I'm not sure why Leftwich is ahead of Batch. I like Batch and don't like Leftwich's game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonderbread Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I've always like chuck. Him being a local Pittsburgh guy. He is frequently on the radio here and comes across as very likeable. It was hard to root against him tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max997 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 He reminds you of QBs from the 80's because he actually played in the 80's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Formerly Allan in MD Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Batch has a very mediocre resume. Remember one game wonder Rob Johnson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

/dev/null Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Yes, the Steelers 3rd String QB is better than our 1st string QB. Drew Bledsoe vs Brian St Pierre with a playoff berth on the line I'm not sure why Leftwich is ahead of Batch. I like Batch and don't like Leftwich's game. I don't know why either of those are on an NFL roster. Batch is a local guy and a likeable guy. Plus with Ben Rothlesberger, it's not like the Steelers need that #3 QB position to develop young talent. So the Steelers have turned what used to be an unused roster spot that turns over frequently into a stable extra set of veteran eyes to watch tape and evalate defenses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ganesh Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Yeah I'm also rooting for Batch to make sure we don't have a prayer at the wild card. I think the Colts, Steelers and Bengals winning this week pretty much has eliminated us from the playoffs. There is only 2 WC spots and our poor tie breakers in the AFC will pretty much kill any chance that we have mathematically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 He played a good game but I'm not sold. I think the Colts, Steelers and Bengals winning this week pretty much has eliminated us from the playoffs. There is only 2 WC spots and our poor tie breakers in the AFC will pretty much kill any chance that we have mathematically. Those wins didn't help the Bills for sure. BUT that's why they play the games. One week at a time. Go Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlbillsfan1975 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Batch is the same as Fitz- a back up. Nice guy, tough player, can make all the throws, but can not do it consistently. That is the definition of a back up. Fitz will be the highest payed back-up next year for someone, just not Buffalo i hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
