Free Agent QB Kelly Holcomb Turned Down Steelers Offer In 2008

Five different NFL teams contacted Holcomb early last season about a potential return, including the Pittsburgh Steelers after Charlie Batch the backup to starter Ben Roethlisberger went down to injury. That was intriguing to Holcomb because of a distinct comfort level with Steelers offensive coordinator Bruce Arians. After all, Holcomb befriended and had a solid professional relationship with Arians when he was the offensive coordinator for the Cleveland Browns at the same time Holcomb quarterbacked there during the early part of this decade.After I turned down the Pittsburgh Steelers, everybody finally got the notion that I was not going to play any more, Holcomb says.

Having a ring when you dident do anything to earn it just makes it like any other ring. Its about what the ring symbolizes not just for sake of having one imo.

No backups contribute but backup qbs dont. Going to a team for a chance of getting a ring on the bench for a qb is stupid. A backup Qb only plays if the starter gets hurt.

Thats not what im saying. Im saying a backup qb picking a team just because they are likely to win a superbowl is dumb.

I disagree. The towel guy has as big a role as the back up qb and I bet if you ask him if his ring means something. I bet you it does.
