Do you take a chance and start Romo this week or keep him benched in case he starts just to find out he can't really throw it?

Marion Barber will miss his first game ofthe season Sunday at Pittsburgh with a dislocated pinkie toe.

I don't think Pittsburgh in December [smiley=cold.gif] is the ideal place to make your rookie debut as a starter, though.  I know toe injuries are always a dicey venture.  I wonder how long Barber will be out.
