Big Ben off the hook again.

doesnt matter. why waste a draft pick on campbell when they only would want him for 4 games? Dixon's stats dont matter. Tomlinson loves him. Also, TB would likely give up leftwich for a 7th rounder in 2011. Campbell would be more costly.

4 games is a lot. It could easily be the difference in 2 or 3 wins, and remember some pretty good teams in recent years have been left out of the playoffs in the AFC.

Youre assuming that the difference between jason Campbell and Dennis Dixon/Leftwich is two or three wins. Jason Campbell has never, ever in his career been the kind of QB thats a difference-maker. Unless Tomlin has completely changed his mind about Dixon, I doubt he'd view Campbell as someone worth bringing in. You don't trade a 4th round draft pick for a mediocre QB to play a couple of games. Now, if the Steelers plan to trade Big Ben, that changes everything. I could see them trading for Campbell to give Dixon a year or two more to develop.

Yeah but Sproles doesn't care for him
