Things don’t sound too good for Steelers QB Byron Leftwich, who was expected from all accounts to be the starter for the opener with the suspension to Ben Roethlisberger.
Reports say that Leftwich will miss the season as he apparently tore the medial collateral ligament in his left knee after throwing a pass in the second [...]
While the Steelers wrapped up the final preseason game with a rather convincing 19-3 win over the Panthers, the bigger story remains the same as it has been from the moment they knew they would not have Ben Roethlisberger the first part of the 2010 season.
Who starts at QB for the weeks Ben is gone?

Sunday night the Steelers fell in Denver for the first time in the preseason, dropping a rather lackluster game 34-17. Below are the good and the bad from a game that the Steelers and their fans would like to rather forget.

Ben Roethlisberger, Byron Leftwich or Dennis Dixon? It sounds like the way Mike Tomlin is talking it won’t matter who gets the start Sunday when the team takes on the Denver Broncos in the high altitude of Denver.

There has been plenty of talk about why franchise QB Ben Roethlisberger sat out the game Saturday night against the Lions. I was somewhat surprised he didn’t play, but at the same time, there were some good reasons the team decided to sit him.
1. An Example – Call it what you want, but maybe [...]
