Jackass Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 (edited) sorry if i missed this, but has this been decided. If not, any Pitt homers have any insight? ETA, left it out of the title but talking about the QB in case that wasn't obvious Edited September 6, 2010 by Jackass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby's Hubby Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 picked Jeff Reed as my kicker in almost every league I am in ... just start the guy who gets close but no cigar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronco Billy Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 If you're looking at picking up either Dixon or Batch as a possible 4 week alternative as a FF QB, I'd suggest you find another less costly form of entertainment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in a 2qb league and have Big Ben and one of my other qb's is on bye that week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got to be either incredibly good looking, incredibly well hung, and/or have inherited a tremendous amount of wealth. Scooby doesn't impress me as being retarded.

Does your league penalize incompletions, fumbles, INTs? And you have the roster room? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearBroncos Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 I read somewhere yesterday that Batch had the starting job which also means I won't be starting Wallace anytime soon.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you have the roster room? no penalties for any of those - but at this point doesn't matter - just need someone to throw in there so i don't get a zero. I do have roster room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Billy Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 no penalties for any of those - but at this point doesn't matter - just need someone to throw in there so i don't get a zero. I do have roster room I think by week 4 (bye week filli-in) it's a 50/50 shot that it could be Batch or Dixon. Either roll the dice or roster both. I think the PIT staff likes Dixon as a more intriguing possibility, but I also have heard noises about starting with Batch. To be honest, I think that may be fan/sportswriter sentiment speaking since Batch played fairly well in a pinch for PIT before - but that was a while ago. And I think either guy could start week 1 and do poorly enough in that game and/or the following couple of games that they could surrender to the other by week 4. Sorry, can't really help much more than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowboutthemCowboys Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 (edited) I can't imagine that Batch got ANY snaps with the 1's in camp/preseason. I'd have to believe they'd start Dixon week 1. BB had good advice though..roster both and wait for them to announce the starter. EDIT: if I could only roster one it'd be Dixon. Even if Batch starts I read somewhere that there are plans/packages for Dixon to get some snaps.

irish Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 (edited) Confirmed that Dixon will be the starter in week1. http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/10249/1085513-100.stm Clipped from the Ed Bouchette article: Dennis Dixon will start at quarterback for the Steelers when they open the season Sunday against Atlanta at Heinz Field. Coach Mike Tomlin confirmed that today after Dixon ran the first-team offense in practice and Charlie Batch ran the second team. Dixon has made one start and just two appearances in his first two seasons with the Steelers. The Steelers were preparing Byron Leftwich to be their starter during Ben Roethlisberger's four-game suspension, but Leftwich will miss two to four weeks after a sprained MCL to his left knee in the second quarter of Thursday night's final preseason game.
