Ben Roethlisberger, Steelers –
After this week he'll have his bye behind him, and the Steelers running game is an amalgamation of mediocrity. That means more big days like his showing in Oakland are in store.
Matthew Stafford, Lions–
Three concerns bump Stafford down a bit: his latest injury, backup Shaun Hill's competence, and the potential emergence of a running game in Detroit in the form of Mikel Leshoure.
Jake Locker, Titans –
A silver lining to the struggles of Chris Johnson: more throwing--and running--from Locker.
Alex Smith, 49ers –
Smith fooled us all into thinking he was legit, then laid a ginormous egg against one of the shakiest secondaries in the league. Cue the Who: we won't get fooled again.
