But Ben Roethlisberger gets hit and hurt regularly, having missed seven games over the past three years, which means provided he beats out rookie Landry Jones for the backup job, Gradkowski could find himself in a starting role for multiple games in '13. We're not promising that will go perfectly; after all, Gradkowski has an ugly career 21/24 TD-to-INT ratio. But it couldn't go much worse than it did for Charlie Batch and Byron Leftwich over the past few seasons.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Mon May 13"},"positionRank":54,"projectedPoints":29}
