Chances are you've never heard of Charlie Batch who has been (backup) quarterback for the Steelers for 8 years. Is it a waste of one's career to be a backup quarterback?

imho, not for alla bucks! ;-)

I imagine he would rather start, but bet he's not crying when the check arrives.

He's gotten 2 SuperBowl rings out of the deal, along with his checks. I doubt he's bitching.

Lets see he is getting paid a LOT to watch football on the sidelines. I would not call that a wasted career.

No. Ben gets nicked up all the time, and the Steelers are good enough so he does get some playing time, and yes, I have heard of him. He used to start at Detroit before he went to Pittsburgh. He's a good teammate.

Matt Cassel doesn't think so. He was always a backup QB until Tom Brady got hurt last year, and now has a $63 million contract with the Chiefs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_Cassel

Actually I most remember from the Detroit Lions before he came to the Steelers. He also played for Steel Valley High School in Homestead, PA.
