Newsbreakers
September 7, 2008
Byron Leftwich finished up at quarterback in the Steelers Week 1 rout of the Houston Texans. Leftwich was 0-for-4 and recorded two rushes for zero yards.

Our View:After Week 1 it's easy to figure Leftwich's quarterback rating.
August 28, 2008
With incumbent backup quarterback Charlie Batch on the mend of a broken collar bone, Byron Leftwich has come into the Steelers offense and impressed. According to the Pittsburgh Post Gazette Leftwich might have performed well enough to earn the back up job even after Batch is healthy.

Our View:Even if Leftwich earns the backup role he will have little to no fantasy value.
August 11, 2008
Byron Leftwich has passed his physical and signed a one-year deal for $645,000, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Coach Mike Tomlin said, "He's been a franchise quarterback for a playoff caliber team. We're fortunate to add a guy like him. He had a great workout. He has a strong arm, he's very lean and he's a smart guy, a been-there, done-that guy."

Our View:The team hopes he can learn enough of the offense to play in Thursday's exhibition game against the Bills. Leftwich is expected to serve as the primary backup behind starter Ben Roethlisberger.
August 10, 2008
Quarterback Byron Leftwich was signed by the Pittsburgh Steelers today, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.

Our View:Leftwich will be the backup to Ben Roethlisberger as Charlie Batch broke his collarbone and will miss more than a month.
August 9, 2008
The Pittsburgh Steelers are bringing in quarterback Byron Leftwich for a workout, and he may be signed today, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Our View:With Charlie Batch having suffered a broken collarbone, the Steelers have no veteran backup, making signing a backup a priority.
