Charlie Batch

Charlie Batch played real well last night for a backup. Teams can go to the second-string quarterback for a game or two and suffer little drop-off, so it was not too surprising to see the Steelers drive on the Miami defense with Batch as the QB.

He looked better than the average back-up, however. He reminded me of Mike Tomczak when he would play only a game here or there.

I could not evaluate Batch's ability to start many games in a row without seeing him play many games in a row. For now, however, he's a huge asset for the team. Any time Ben needs a week off, Batch looks more than capable of leading the team.
