Landry Jones needs to be a game manager for Pittsburgh Steelers until Roethlisberger returns

This much is certain about Pittsburgh Steelers fans: They love their backup quarterbacks.

It's only natural considering the long lines of lousy starters through the decades.

Former player and Steelers radio analyst Tunch Ilkin likes to say the only quarterback Pittsburgh never booed was Scottie Campbell.
That's because Campbell started only one home game, near the end of a bad 1985 season, and did OK in a loss to a powerful team.

But they've booed the starters here, even cheered Terry Bradshaw once when he was injured.

And then Bradshaw began winning rings and the booing stopped.
