per NFL Network.... :tt04:

Re: Just announced: Batch will start vs Browns
 

They said last night he is 37. Man I didn't think he was that old. 35 maybe… Wow, hope he stays clean!

Who's going to back him up? Where's jerrod johnson?

Re: Just announced: Batch will start vs Browns
 

did we have a choice?? lol

The bigger question is who are we going to sign this week....

Re: Just announced: Batch will start vs Browns
 

YES!!!!!!....better than another game with Lefty....

Re: Just announced: Batch will start vs Browns
 

I'd rather have Batch than Weeden.

Re: Just announced: Batch will start vs Browns
 

I'd rather have Batch than Philip Rivers.

(Not looking ahead, but man, that dude is a pick-six machine. Keenan Lewis or Ryan Clark or both of them is going to score on an INT.)

Also tweeted was the Steelers will "Workout QBs":noidea::

Re: Just announced: Batch will start vs Browns
 

Why do the Steelers organization make these things public? I know they have a requirement to post about injuries and such but can't they just keep Lefty questionable/probable until gameday? Force the Browns to plan for both of our remaining qb's instead of announcing it to the world that 37 year old Batch will start?

Re: Just announced: Batch will start vs Browns
 

Nobody who saw Lefty after that last sack would ever believe he was going to be starting against the Browns. The guy looked like he was about to die.

Re: Just announced: Batch will start vs Browns
 

Mike Kafka. Working out tomorrow with Steelers. Probably going to see what he can do with our receivers, as well as Plaxico Burress.

If all of this works, then our remaining opponents will have no idea how to gameplan for us.
