  Kordell Stewart - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stewart attended the University of Colorado and was drafted 60th in the 1995 NFL draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers.
After years of trials and turmoil, Kordell Stewart had again established himself as the man at quarterback in Pittsburgh; and in 2001 Pittsburgh rode a dominant defense and strong running attack to a 13-3 regular-season record and the top seed in the AFC playoffs.
Stewart was signed in 2004 by the Ravens to play a backup role to Kyle Boller as a replacement for the injured Anthony Wright, and did not throw a pass (though he was unexpectedly successful as an emergency replacement for punter Dave Zastudil).

 The Kordell Stewart Double Standard
Stewart is not a drop back passer and with all the money the Steelers have invested in him, you would think Gilbride would try to find a way to use his strengths instead of trying to fit a square peg in a round hole and wondering why it doesn't work.
Kordell takes the snap fakes it to bettis and rolls out to his right, if the lb's are pulling up to stop him he can toss it to bruener, if not run it in.
Kordell is only dangerous when he is a threat to run or pass on the same play, why they don't use this to their advantage is beyond me. Look at the preseason again, Graham had a much better "PASSER" rating, notice it is not called a "QB" rating there is a reason for that.
