Confidence in Charlie Batch?

Dixon at this point needs to be dressed after the injury to Ben just to be safe...I agree that Charlie Batch might be done I dont see him doing much if you have to depend on him to carry the load and win you any type of game...

If Batch is given a full week's worth of snaps and has a chance to play with the starting unit in practice, you have to think he'll be able to play better than last night. I realize as a backup you have to ready at a moments notice. The fact is he's a backup, he's been one for a long time now. He makes the team every year because he knows the offense and has won some games when he played.

Do I think he could lead this team long term, no, but for a game or 2 I wouldn't lose total hope in the season.

I have literally no confidence in Batch at all. I would feel more confident with Dixon, McNabb or Roethlisberger with one arm at QB.

he almost needed a cutoff man. I suppose if he gets reps this week or splits them with Dix, I'm sure Batch would be OK at best. DOn't forget, niners are very vulnerable in the secondary and they will likely be without Patrick Willis with a bad hammy.

We talked about this in the preseason, I had zero faith in him than, now I have negative faith in him. I don't see how he can make it for a game or 2 when he can't even make it for a series or 2.

Sad to see it for this team in it's hour of need. Management asleep at the switch.
