Who gonna get the start?
I honestly think Charlie Batch is jus on the team because the Steelers are doin charity work.
Bro had to file bankruptcy not too long ago.
Even when he was listed as the #2QBthe Steelers would still go to someone else in case of emergency.
So here is the list according to Yahoo

The Steelers could conceivably start No. 3 quarterback Charlie Batch, a 37-year-old who has started seven games during his 10 seasons in Pittsburgh, including a Week 16 game against the St. Louis Rams in 2011 and pair of games when Roethlisberger was suspended at the start of the 2010 regular season. If the Steelers decide to go this route, they could re-sign Jerrod Johnson, a 6-foot-5, 250-pound first-year player out of Texas A&M who completed 14-of-21 pass attempts for 236 yards and two touchdowns in three preseason games with the Steelers in August.

Free agent quarterbacks with connections to Steelers offensive coordinator include Tyler Palko, who started the final four games of Haley's tenure as head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs. In six games overall last season, Palko completed 59.7 percent of 134 pass attempts for 796 yards and two touchdowns. Palko was also sacked 11 times, was intercepted seven times and lost a fumble. Palko was not in an NFL training camp and has not worked out for an NFL team this season. The same can be said for Brodie Croyle, who started two games in two seasons under Haley with the Chiefs.


A veteran name that surfaced when news of Roethlisberger's injury hit was David Garrard. The 34-year-old Garrard was cleared by his doctors to begin working out for NFL teams on the morning after Roethlisberger went down with his injury.

Other veteran names on the market include Vince Young, Donovan McNabb, A.J. Feeley, John Beck and J.P. Losman.


Based on quarterback workouts during the season, Stephen McGee could be on the list of passers that Haley and Co. check out this week.

Former Patriots backup Brian Hoyer could also get a look-see from the Steelers.
