Batch it is

On Wednesday, head coach Mike Tomlin announced that Charlie Batch will be the starting quarterback for the team’s Week 3 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. On the same day the decision was made, Byron Leftwich returned for his first full practice, since suffering a sprained MCL in the preseason. With Leftwich now back healthy, there has been much speculation that he would be named the starter. Nevertheless, Mike Tomlin obviously feels that Batch is the better option at this point in time.

Charlie Batch made his season debut last Sunday against the Titans, after Dennis Dixon was forced to leave the game with a torn MCL. Batch’s performance was far from stellar. The veteran quarterback went 5-11, for just 25 yards. He was also sacked twice.
