Mitch Trubisky joined the Steelers at 28 years old, already a few years removed from his best season and after sitting on the Buffalo Bills bench for a year. He was looking for a fresh start on a team that was willing to give him a chance while they developed a young quarterback. While not identical, that situation is similar to Charlie Batch joining the Steelers back in 2002. Batch lost his starting job in Detroit and signed with the Steelers, then sat on the bench for a year before seeing the field as the Steelers backup quarterback.
