Cdub100 3,380 Posted June 15, 2006 lthough Pittsburgh is optimistic Ben Roethlisberger will be ready for the season opener, the Steelers are looking for a quarterback just in case, the Beaver Country Times reports. "We have to be looking for another quarterback," an assistant coach, who asked not to be identified, said Tuesday. "I just don't know who it will be." Tommy Maddox has emerged as a possibility, although Maddox's agent, Vann McElroy, claims the Steelers have yet to contact his client. Maddox, who started 32 games during his five-year stay in Pittsburgh, announced his retirement earlier this offseason, but has not ruled out a return to football. "Tommy could go either way," McElroy said. "He's looking for the right situation either way. I know he's been playing a lot of golf lately. But he's also working out in case he gets another chance to play football. We feel that he still has a lot of football left in him." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
