Roth, because I have him as my backup, and I don't want to be alone if he sucks.

First week out of the blocks he'll be good.

well there's

Considering Mark Sanchez did well against the Vikings secondary despite several drops (we're looking at you, Braylon Edwards), Romo, Miles Austin and Co. should be able to do just as much damage this week.
and then there's

In his first game of 2010, Big Ben gets to battle a Browns defense that was routed by weak-armed Carson Palmer just two weeks ago. Oh, if only every debut matchup was as promising as this one.
Romo projected 22, Roth projected 20


tough call; Romo has (IMO) better weapons and could be playing from behind; Roth hasn't been practicing with his guys for most of the season thus far, but will probably be coming out firing.

Minnesota's been struggling as of late and their D hasn't been generating turnovers...
Cleveland's defense has been about middle of the pack, but the Steelers could be playing ahead the whole game and love to run...


TL;DR

if it was me, i'd start Romo

tough call man. ben may get booed off the field, then again its pittsburgh so probably not.
did you draft him before the suspension or was he your second choice? interesting as both of those backs would be down pretty low on my personal list.

Romo would be a better choice, as he does have some more weapons. And considering favre's elbow issues and where that is going, he may want to prove something in minnesota.

over under for dallas is 20
over under for pitt is 24

that doesn't say everything for the quarterbacks but can give you a general idea of how the defenses opposing can be.

I vote for Roeth, more of a feeling thing though, and less due to number crunching. The Browns are well, the Browns... and you know he's ready to get "Rowdier than Roethlisberger in a bathroom stall." At the end of the day, I expect the numbers to end up similar, but the chance of Roeth "exploding" much higher.

Romo. Invariably, whoever you pick will be the wrong decision, that's just how it works. I don't expect the Steelers to throw the ball as much this year even with Ben back. I think Ben will be fine, but I would give it a game just to see how he looks.

no Romo, he has the nickname "choke artist" for a reason...and no he is not short throated like *insert s2ki username here* (flojo was my choice).

Go with Rapelisberger.
