Steelers New Backup Qb: Hines Ward

I KNEW this was coming... but I thought it would be Randle El.

The Steelers are contemplating whether to dress No. 3 quarterback Dennis Dixon for Sunday's game against Baltimore.

If both Ben & Batch went down, the Steelers would be wishing they'd kept Randle El.

Of course, Ward was a QB in college... considering that was 15 years ago.

Interesting but in all likelihood...a non-issue.

If Ben goes down, no way would Batch be the only QB as he's made of glass. More than likely it would be a Batch-Ward one-two punch. Dixon is actually basically history as he seems to have gotten worse over time instead of better ..."especially" his passing game.

Is he really that arrogant? Thats just annoying.
