I remember an analyst saying before the draft Cutler would be the best one, but not sure who it was. It's always a crapshoot though. I think it was Bayless.

In fairness the Broncos backups appear to be a complete trainwreck

Boy, were we fooled.

I think part of the problem with all these high profile QBs going bust is:

  1. They are expected to save the franchise the minute they walk in the door.
  2. Players from major college programs are now spoiled fucking rotten and are coddled and pampered to the point to where they can't handle the pressure and cut-throat world of the NFL.

To defend Vince Young, he was a starter in Tennessee. Jeff Fisher never liked him as the move to draft Vince was solely on Bud Adams. Vince was like 33-19 as a starter, with literally zero help in the running game and nobody at wide receiver (can you even name the last star wide receiver?). Vince can still be a good quarterback, however I don't think anyone will ever see past the 'psychotic break' and the fact that Jeff FIsher has given him a stamp of disapproal. For the record....Fisher wanterd Lienart instead that year.

Triple Naitch 08-28-2012 09:32 AM

Young was surrounded by talent last year and still fucked it up.

Evil Vito 08-28-2012 10:30 AM

I remember when Leinart at #10 overall looked like the steal of the century. So much for that.

Imagine of Leinart didn't stay that extra year? The Niners may have gone with him instead of Alex Smith in 2005.

Kris P Lettus 08-28-2012 10:56 AM

Here's my Fantasy Team for this year:

QB:

Drew Brees
Matt Shaub

RB:

Frank Gore
Darren Sproles
Pierre Thomas
Trent Richardson
Lagarrett Blount

WR

Vincent Jackson
Eric Decker
Jordy Nelson
Malcom Floyd

TE

Jason Witten
Greg Olsen

ST/D

Jets
Ravens

K

Stephen Gostkowski

Prolly gonna get rid of Blount for another WR but I think I ended up pretty good.. Specially considering it was a Snake draft and I had the first pick (Brees) then I had to wait to pick 9 and 10, so on and so forth..

Kris P Lettus 08-28-2012 11:01 AM

Should I go Reggie Wayne or Nate Washington??

Innovator 08-28-2012 11:07 AM

I don't know why but you picking Brees first makes me angry.

Oh yeah, because CMON

Kris P Lettus 08-28-2012 11:11 AM

Why would I have picked anyone eles??

Was evacuating from the hurricane and made it to my moms with like 7 minutes to spare for the draft.. When my bro called and said I got the first and that I would get Rogers in auto I hauled ass..

:o

p.s. just got Reggie Wayne cause I firgure Luck will have a better season than Locker..

Kris P Lettus 08-28-2012 11:12 AM

I wanted Eli as my backup but someone got him 3 picks before I got Shaub..

Gonzo 08-28-2012 11:26 AM

Eli Manning should be the starter because Eli Manning > your favorite team's quarterback.

Kris P Lettus 08-28-2012 11:29 AM

LMFAO

Gonzo 08-28-2012 11:38 AM

Eli Manning aka the Comeback Kid aka Captain Clutch

Come see me Drew Brees. Tell me how my ass taste.

CSL 08-28-2012 11:40 AM

it's a little known fact that Eli is actually latin for "two rings" boiiiiiiii

Gonzo 08-28-2012 11:43 AM

Kissssssssss the rings bitch.

Kris P Lettus 08-28-2012 11:43 AM

*Elisha

Triple Naitch 08-28-2012 11:44 AM

Who do you play fantasy football with? Seems like no one in that league knows what they're doing.

Kris P Lettus 08-28-2012 11:44 AM

How so??

Triple Naitch 08-28-2012 11:45 AM

Is each position the order in which you drafted them? Gore first, then Sproles, Thomas, etc.

Kris P Lettus 08-28-2012 11:49 AM

No

I got Brees, then Gore, then Witten..

Got thomas and sproles much later..

Triple Naitch 08-28-2012 11:52 AM

Exactly. Gore as your 2nd pick? He's mad injury prone. Witten has a fucked up spleen. No tight end should be taken in the 3rd round. Surprised that you committed those crimes and still wound up with Trent Richardson, Sproles, Nelson, and Decker.

Kris P Lettus 08-28-2012 12:00 PM

As I said, it was a snake draft..

I got # 1 then had to wait for the # 15 and # 16.. Gore was the only "elite" RB left for my second pick..

Innovator 08-28-2012 12:09 PM

You're riding your team on Brees, and no one knows what to make of the Saints this year until a couple weeks in. Rodgers would've been a safer bet (even though he's a concussion away from being a vegetable).

Triple Naitch 08-28-2012 12:09 PM

It's an 8 team league?

Innovator 08-28-2012 12:10 PM

Also, Eli Manning wins football games.

CSL 08-28-2012 12:12 PM

and rings

Triple Naitch 08-28-2012 12:13 PM

I like how you said you wanted to draft Eli then shit talked him. The fact that you wanted him negates your right to tease him.

Where did I "shit talk" him??

I'm an Ole Miss fan, used to hang out with him in Oxford, and have always been a fan of his..

Stop trying so hard..

That is his name, so for his name to be actually latin for "two rings", it would be Elisha, not Eli..

CSL 08-28-2012 01:11 PM

the full Elisha in latin is actually "3rd ring a'comin"

Gonzo 08-28-2012 01:31 PM

And at least Eli doesn't have a poop stain on his face.

Evil Vito 08-28-2012 01:54 PM

I love Eli so much. Crazy to think he's entering his 9th season. He's gonna wind up retiring as the best QB in franchise history, he might already be there now.

Gonzo 08-28-2012 02:06 PM

I've never wavered in my support of Eli. Even when he had some rough years.

Not only that, but I see Da Bears giving them trouble this year too.
