Word on the street is that the Steelers will be holding open tryouts for Charlie Batch's job now that he's on the shelf for six weeks. And much like last year's Byron Leftwich-Daunte Culpepper Face Off for Chaz's gig, Pittsburgh has assembled an all-star cast to assume the role of Big Ben's backup. In all likliehood, come Tuesday afternoon, the Steelers will have signed either Jeff Garcia or Cleo Lemon.
(And this, folks, will be the exact moment when we can say, without hesitation, that Pittsburgh's hopes of returning to the Super Bowl went right down the Thomas Crapper.)
Other possible (and not-so-possible) candidates after the jump.
