Steelers had been waiting for him to get released since before the news of Bens' issue broke. I'm sure they want the competition for the back up spot while Ben is serving his suspension.

J-Man, c'mon now. He isn't "terrible." The man has proven he can win with a good team around him. You can't give him the keys to a VW bug and expect him to win the race. He's won for us before and my ONLY concern is if our O-Line can protect him long enough for him to get through that "1 Mississippi...., 2 Mississippi..., " wind-up of his.

Leftwich did awesome for them during the Steelers latest Superbowl run. If you remember when Ben went down during the year Byron came in and the Steelers offense never skipped a beat.
