Steelers parting with QB?

[RaiderOfTheSith]

From www.profootballtalk.com/rumormill -- has raiders as possible destination. I highly doubt the raiders will pick up another QB. We have Collins/Tui/Walter/Rivers/Engemann (Europe)

HERE IS A BLUB FROM THE RUMOR

STEELERS FACE QUARTERBACK GLUT

We were surprised, frankly, when the Steelers recently decided to re-sign quarterback Charlie Batch, who has become a forgotten man during his two years in the 'Burgh. Batch was stapled to the bench in 2003, and a knee injury kept him out of action in 2004.

Keeping Batch has given the Steelers four quarterbacks for 2005: Ben Roethlisberger, Tommy Maddox, Batch, and Brian St. Pierre.

Consequently, there's a feeling in some circles that the Steelers might be willing to part with Maddox (or Batch, for that matter) via a trade.

.....

Even the Raiders, who will be shedding Rich Gannon, could use an established alternative to Marques Tuiasosopo, in the event that Kerry Collins gets hurt.

I always have felt that Charlie Batch is a NFL q.b bust. I really have'nt seen anything that has impressed me. IMHO.

[Chunkylover53]

Which Rivers do we have at QB?

[j4ever]

um....i think the article was talking about maddox. i never thought maddox was any good, but then again, i dont think collins is good either. i say go for it as long as we dont give up anything more than a 7th rounder.

David Rivers. I think he was on the practice squad.

Maddox would be ok but not Batch.

Maddox is a pretty darn good qb, I would definitely take him if we had a solid opportunity and didn't have to give up much for him. Forget about Batch.
