I have Aaron Rodgers on bye this week and I need advice on which one of these rookies to start. Ponder looked solid last week but Tebow scored more points. Ponder in my opinion should have an easier week but will the power of Tebow prevail?

Spoiler - Tebow 92%-8%
Is Dalton avialalble in your league? He is vs the Seahawks and seems to have proven himself to be fairly consistent, might be a surer bet than Pounder if you don't have faith that Tebow will make it rain touchdowns, defeat the lions, and then fly away on a cloud of glory.
Tebow. Mostly because I think they just give the ball to AP all day since Carolina's run D is so bad.
I'm amazed that no one is making a bigger deal out of the fact that on Ponder's rookie debut in the NFL, he played the undefeated Superbowl champions and nearly beat them. We'll never know if he could have, because Frazier decided to punt on fourth down, basically giving the Packers the game. I'd play Ponder, cause Carolina D sucks and I think its going to be a shootout between him and Cam. Tebow is going up against a legit Defense that is going to tear him up for hesitating too long on every snap.
