This is awesome. I love the idea of ending a party by shooting warning shots.

FO rates Rodgers significantly higher than any other QB on the stats front.

They project

Brees at 5100, 40/16

Rodgers 4500 39/10 -- 220 rushing 2TDs

That's the almanac. I don't get the Kubiak thing so maybe they are different? Seems pretty close, though

So, NFL-GAF...my Google-fu is apparently suspect, because I can't seem to figure out why Michael Turner doesn't have a job yet. He was less effective in the Falcons pass-heavy offense, and I know he had a DUI that was dropped - but is there some other reason why even awful teams like the Jets wouldn't take a flyer on him?

Lol @ Rich Eisen interviewing Matt Damon.

Damon: "Elysium is where all the elite and rich live...."

Eisen: "So its all Patriot fans?"

Baltimore at Denver: Revenge.

New England at Buffalo: Even with no receivers, or Tebow, NE still got this.
Cincinnati at Chicago: What's with all the Cincy love?
Miami at Cleveland: Ol' man Weeden slanging.
Atlanta at New Orleans: Payton's first game; a lot of motivation to beat the crap out of their rivals.
Tampa Bay at NY Jets: lolJets
Tennessee at Pittsburgh:
Minnesota at Detroit: Trust Stafford more than Ponder.
Oakland at Indianapolis: lolRaiders
Seattle at Carolina: Carolina off to a great start, once again.
Kansas City at Jacksonville: lolGata
Arizona at St. Louis: Fitz may have something to be happy about, for real.
Green Bay at San Francisco: Kaep picks up where he left off.
NY Giants at Dallas: Stupid Cowboys.

Philadelphia at Washington: Even with a busted knee and no practice, RGIII too good.
Houston at San Diego: Think this could turn into a shoot out. Still, Rivers will find a way to cough it up in the end,

Depends how much the 6 INTs negate the 400 extra total yards?

The yards is a 6 point difference. The picks are a 12 point difference. Add in the rushing and Rodgers is a better pick by 22 points.

Ankle injury and getting old.

Paykeers should pick him up for minimum. PUP him until latest week possible, cut Starks, and use him for winter games at Lando

Edit: Don't matta he slow Talon. He wear downa da deefesse

Simmons on the NFC Podcast said something to the effect of it's impossible to predict the end of season with the Seahawks since they might be embroiled in a BALCO scandal by then. It's not a NFL-GAF thing. That is their rep with everyone

Isn't standard scoring 25 passing yards = 1 point ?

So 600 yards is 24 points

ah the rushing yards. i'm an idiot

I don't remember the scoring for the latest draft I did but in every draft I've run KUBIAK has projected Rodgers to be anywhere from 6-30 points higher. I guess it depends on the interceptions (and in one draft my buddy decided to go back to 6 points for rushing TD's because us number nerds had been eschewing backs for years and dominating).

Yahoo standard scoring gives Rodgers the edge 348 - 332

I'm not good at math, obviously, but it might make sense to make sure you get a top QB in Bowsers league. Getting 40 TDs at 6pts per TD vs 30 TDs I think makes Rodgers/Manning/Brady/Brees more valuable than anyone but Peterson. That QB tier 1 to QB tier 2 is a bigger drop-off now than with standard scoring

False!

The marginal difference between any of the top 12 quarterback is much less than the marginal difference between the tiers of other positions. In fact this year, the best "reach" pick is easily Jimmy Graham as the gulf between him and the second TE is astronomical.

Are the Titans the least liked, mentioned, and "just there" team in the league? Is there even a fan here to represent them?

Wasn't sure in a 6pt per passing TD league, since fewer guys will throw for 40 for lots will throw for 30. Cheat sheets say still go RB even if all TDs are 6 pts

not hyped at all. This Eagles D is so ass. Glad I have RGIII/Garcon in fantasy for this week.
Click to expand...

Great defenses don't really exist or guarantee success. Of course the Eagles D is going to be ass but as teams prove every season a good offense overcomes poor D. Even the 08-10 Eagles teams which made the playoffs, made it purely because of the offense.

Hope to see better effort across the board on defense. It really can't get worse than the last 2 years. Maybe by seasons end we can identify some keepers and by next year run the ideal 3-4 Chip wants to run.

Every podcast I listen to brings this up. The most forgotten team in the NFL. I guess the Jags steal all the "bad" stories they would otherwise get

Brees, Colston, Moore, Graham, Watson, Stills, Toon, Meachem, Tanner, Sproles, Thomas, Ingram. I think the offense is gonna be pretty good like usual. The defense is the question mark once again. Who knows.

You can also put me under BC Lions :)

Lions have back to back against the Tiger-Cats. Do you guys think they can still win the division or is the Roughriders's lead too much? Sheets may actually break the all-time season rushing record at the current pace, so if he stays on fire like this I don't think we have a chance.

Don't go QB early unless you're in some ridiculous 16+ teams league.
Click to expand...

I told myself I'd be in only 1 league this year. Ended up in 3.

My work league is 14 teams deep. Picking past pick 10, QBs really come into play. Only the FF elite QBs though. Taking Rodgers, Manning, or Brees at pick 11-14 isn't crazy IMO. Especially with the quick turnaround for your 2nd pick, you can still pick up the 2nd tier RBs available at that point.

The other two leagues are 12 teams and 10 teams. You can really tell the difference. Personally I prefer the 14-16 owners leagues. You really have to know the players and use some strategy. The 10 team league I could have let Yahoo pick and no matter what ended up with a great team.

Yeah I don't even know their roster at all. Especially on the defense. They are never on Sportscenter, NFL Insiders, NFL Live, or any of other 100 NFL shows ESPN has.
