If you're coach Tony D'Amato and are about to coach the Pantheon cup and have a healthy Jack Rooney at your disposal along with Beamen, who would you start at QB assuming you dont care what Christina thinks?

Rooney knows the subtleties of the game and the team loves him, Beamen's a loose cannon who pisses off everyone. Cap all the way.
shareHealthy Rooney? I'd choose him. And if things go wrong or he has a bad day or if the opponent adjusted to Rooney I could always send in Beaman in the third or fourth quarter as a joker. I could even imagine doing this regularily: playing with both Beaman and Rooney in turns to confuse the opponents with their different playing styles.
shareCap, but I would also make LL catch passes across the middle, and play Shark until he broke his neck again.
What the $%*& is a Chinese Downhill?!?
Healthy Rooney. Much calmer under pressure, and has the experience (I think he said 12 seasons and had already won two rings).
If the team puts the game out of reach (at least 3 TDs), bring in Beamen. If he starts screwing up, back to Rooney...
Oh stewardess...I speak jive.
Rooney by far. Wily old vet, doesn't go against coach's orders, has the respect of his teammates, and has gotten it done in the past.

Dont forget though Beamen claimed his career was half over and was still a mystery man. Mind you Brady was a sixth round pick so I think that shocked the world. He wasn't having a great playoff, he was brutal the Oakland 'tuck rule' game and Bledsoe won the AFC championship.
I question how bad Rooney's injury really was; he's seen at practice the following week right after the injury (not long there's a brief shot of 4 QB's throwing the ball at the same time). Didn't seem to fit how badly hurt he seemed right before it. Strange though that they don't even let him dress until the playoffs even though he practices all the way through.
Rooney wasn't that much of a pocket passer, remember his TD run?
