What qb should i start this week(week 5)?

Question

We start 2 qbs.... Bulger is a definate, but i'm torn at my 2nd position. I have Roethlisberger and Huard. It's so hard to bench Ben even though he's had a rough start and plays a good pass defense this week. Do you think Huard is reliable enough to put up the same numbers he did last week or should i just stick with my gut and keep Ben in?

Answer 1

You have to sit Ben. If you watch the game film from his last couple of starts, when he throws the ball he looks like he falls away from the defensive line pressure. This will lead to more interceptions and incomplete passes. He had a bye last week so he could be feeling better, but the San Diego defense is ranked #1 in the league. I would sit him and watch him this week. If his mechanics get better then maybe he is worth a start later on. Besides that, the Cardinals will be putting 8 guys in the box to stop Larry Johnson, opening up Damon Huard to get the ball to Tony Gonzalez and Eddie Kennison. Also, Samie Parker had shown some life in the last couple of games. The Cardinals will have the same game plan as the 49ers did last week to stop the Kansas City offense. The results should be about the same.

Answer 2

Give Huard a shot. Big Ben is going to have some tough sleddding. With LJ carrying the rock, DH should be able to roll out a TD, maybe 2.

I think Ben will be even more out of synch after the bye week. Soemthing's not right in Pittsburgh.

Neither guy is a great play, but hopefully Bulger will carry the load.

Answer 3

Wow tough choices with Big Ben going against the voracious Chargers defense and Huard going against the creampuff SF 49ers. The reason I said that is because I think the Chiefs are going to run, run, run against the porous 49ers, and Big Ben is not going to put up huge numbers against the Chargers. Too bad I don't know who is avaliable on waivers. Because I don't think the Steelers will be able to run effectively I would go with Ben this week.

Answer 4

I would definitely start Huard. Although Big Ben is a great QB he's going up against a tough D. Huard is going up against an Cards D and Rookie Leinart is starting. They haven't exactly gotten their running game going and it won't happen this week. After last week's performance, I predict KC to pass more and get TE Gonzalez involved.

Answer 5

Ben agains the SD D is a tough start. On top of that, Ward is dinged and no one has really replace Randle-El. I would go with Huard. I have Bulger, Ben and Alex Smith, and I am going to start Bulger and Smith......

Answer 6

Go Huard for sure--Arizona has a much more user-friendly defense than San Diego. Two top defenses battling it out (Pit and SD)...it will be a very low scoring game. On the other hand you have some killer RBs (LJ and EDGE) going at it...that means lots of big runs. Defenses will be focused on the run, which means it will open up Guard to have a nice little 190 yard 1 touchdown game.

Answer 7

I'd go with Huard. He faces a much less potent defense this week. San Diego's defense has been great so far this season and with Big Ben still a little dinged up, his numbers won't be worth starting.

Answer 8

Dalton Cam Newton is a competent delusion %. while he's going against a vulnerable run provide up def., Seahawks have between the main suitable run struggling with def. interior the league. additionally, look for the Dolphins to throw extra this week pondering Reggie Bush isn't one hundred% which potential much less time of possession for Mia which potential the ball would be in Dalton palms extra often. Plus the Dolphins/Bengals recreation could be a specified recreation so Bengals heavily isn't understanding the clock all 4th quater.

Answer 9

Look at seasonal performance and D-match-ups. Huard over Ben is a given.
