Slightly OT but relavant - Leftwich Injury, and news?

**RavenousD** · 11-19-2012, 11:06 AM

So, anyone hear anything about Leftwich's injury and what it was or how severe it may be? This could hurt them more down the road.

**madmikey** · 11-19-2012, 11:10 AM

Hard to see how it could hurt them more. He was absolutely awful last night.

Word is that he's headed to IR and the Steelers are bringing in QBs. Not confirmed yet though.

Batch would likely start.

**RavenousD** · 11-19-2012, 11:13 AM

Thanks, i didn't hear any of that so far. It would hurt them more in the sense of losing your 1st and 2nd string QB is hard to overcome.

on SiriusNFL this morning they said he kinda pulled a rib area but it wasn't why he played poorly; for what it's worth. I still bet they give B-atch a try

A bit of an error there saying they could see Denis Dixon taking snaps... He's a Raven. But, I guess he's free to sing to their 53 man roster, right?

the beautiful karma of it all is that he hurt himself celebrating on a TD run. WOO HOO hope you're proud of yourself. Reminds me of the Redskin QB that banged his head a few years ago.

Gus Ferotte. What a maroon.

If B-atch isn't the answer, I'd imagine Croyle or Palko could be candidates given their history with Haley in KC.
The backup QM market ain't great right now.

When you think of it, Chicago is fortunate to have a guy like Campbell, and Detroit have Hill. Both are probably better than some starting QBs out there...

Yes, since he's on the Ravens practice squad they could sign him if he is placed on the 53-man roster.

I thought Leftwich did a pretty good imitation of Big Jen last night, what with all the drama and wincing. The quarterbacking; not so much.

He had to sing to their 53 man roster back in his rookie year. Part of the rookie hazing, y'know. Not sure what the song was, though...

Sorry, sorry, just couldn't resist.

i dont think he hurt himself celebrating...he stumbled into the end zone and then tripped and fell when he got to his knees the players were celebrating but he was holding his right shoulder/rib

**madmikey** · 11-19-2012, 12:38 PM

As bad as Leftwich was, if Wallace makes the plays he's supposed to make the Steelers would have still been in the game and possibly leading.

I think Wallace made a huge mistake not taking the offer the Steelers had on the table this offseason. He'll still get paid, but I don't think it will be as much as he could have made last year - even when he is a UFA this year.

**Paintballguy** · 11-19-2012, 12:44 PM

Leftwich "out for awhile" according to NFL Network. Steelers are working out QB's.

**RavensQB** · 11-19-2012, 12:44 PM

Byron will be out a lil while. Steelers reported to have QB's coming in.

Sorry could not resist this one

**nickh0801** · 11-19-2012, 12:45 PM

As of now, I think Batch will be the starter and they will bring in QB's to be his back up...

I think it was mostly shock, not celebration. He certainly shocked me. In the first half, he moved much better than I remember him being capable of. Must have cut out the Twinkies.

I think Kitna could probably run Haley's dink-n-dunk better than Leftwich.
