To QB or To not QB ...that is the question!

The great QB debate may or may not have gotten clearer Sunday night … Many Steeler fans have been calling for Dennis Dixon to start the season . He has had a good preseason and many think he gives the steelers a better chance to win during Ben's suspension .


Dixon is fleet of foot and can make big plays out of nothing....but with that comes his youth and inexperience ..So you have what you had against Denver Sunday night...the two interceptions was not all Dixon...The young wide outs can share the blame. Although they are well ahead of most rookies ,they still are learning new positions and the speed of the game in the NFL is a big adjustment from college ...But a good QB has got to realize you must be careful once you reach the red zone and under no circumstance do you give the ball up to the defense.

Many think Byron Leftwich the seasoned vet may be the best option. He has plenty of game day experience and a cannon for an arm. Leftwich has had an OK preseason thus far ….but at times seems to be getting killed back there with the lack of a good pocket or plenty of time to wind up that release of his...He can really fire the football but shows very little touch most of the time ….With the questions on the Steeler`s offensive line Leftwich lack of mobility and wind up release may be big problems. ...Only time will tell...Charlie Batch does not even seem to be in the running ,though he did show he may have something left Sunday night in Denver.

The saddest part of this whole thing is that Ben Roethlisberger has really looked great in training camp and in the preseason and seems to be in prime shape and form …. Lets hope that he has learned a valuable lesson from all this and becomes a better person from it...If this experience does not wake him up nothing will...and time will tell.

My thoughts on the QB situation is that they should play a combination of Leftwich and Dixon..not really naming a true starter ...I'm not saying to use both every other series but to kinda play it by ear so to speak...or have situations where Dixon takes over... depending on the defense and the situations...
this would give defenses and defensive coordinators a lot more to game plan for and why show your hand if you don't have to?...I don't think this would work for a whole season but may be the best solution
during Ben's time off... The Steelers need to use every edge they can find during this time...Whats your thoughts???
