Charlie Batch. Best clipboard holder in the NFL.

, that's what we say around Detroit, "Charlie Batch has the best job in the NFL" ... and not maliciously either, he does have the best job in the NFL, and a couple of SB rings to prove it ... there's still a lot of love for Charlie in the "D", .

Best and easiest job until Roethlisberger gets hurt and then it's uh-oh!

QBREES9

Yup and then all bets are off.

I'm inclined to disagree, he's got a winning record (6-2) for the Steelers in starts where he's had to cover for Big Ben due to suspension and/or injury ... it's usually not pretty, but he does what a backup is supposed to do.
