Quarterback Rank: #79
Overall: #478
Batch missed the entire '08 season because of a broken collarbone. But when healthy, Batch continues to be the consummate backup NFL quarterback. He has starting experience and has produced when given the chance. He isn't an every-week starter at this stage of his career, but can produce in spot duty. Batch has a good arm and can make plays on the run. He is likely to be the No. 2 quarterback in Pittsburgh this season.
