SCB Steelers’ Quick Hitters: The ""Landry vs. Zach” Edition

Good Day Steelers’ Fans!

As most of you know by now, the Steelers’ will sit several players on Sunday including quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. That means his back-up, Landry Jones will get the start and Zach Mettenberger will be his back-up. While I understand some of the calls for Mettenberger to start (mainly because Jones is a free agent and unlikely to return in 2017), let’s leave this one to the coaching staff. Even though Big Ben, Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell will sit, that doesn’t mean you just throw a chance at winning out the window. There are a lot of guys who will battle hard on Sunday and they deserve the more competent quarterback.
