If Warner is the starter I think he should be ranked higher than Derk Anderson.
I would put him at about QB7. Tough call between Warner & McNabb. If they both stay healthy they should put up similar #'s IMO.
Its not like Leinart wouldnt be on the WW though
In a related story, the moon is still in orbit around the earth....
Even if Leinart is on the waiver wire I wouldn't want him. He is a total bust.
I had him ranked in the Top 5 months ago . . . long before he was even looking like a starter.His last 8 games last year were:259/3211/2484/2169/2337/3233/3361/3300/3

Not sure why everyone thinks he will struggle - look at those numbers in the exact same O last year. Everyone laughed when I took him as my starter in WSL2 - well HAHA!David Yudkin said:
For anyone who is curious as to the defenses he was going up against during that streak, I looked it up:259/3 vs. DET211/2 @ CIN484/2 vs. SF169/2 vs. CLE337/3 @ SEA233/3 @ NO361/3 vs. ATL300/3 vs. STL
Fine. If you don't like his last 8 games, how about all the games where he effectively played a whole game since coming to Arizona. (That's a bit difficult to do because he's come in and out or relieved on several occasions). In any event, in the 23 games where he threw at least 25 passes, he's averaged 288.5 passing yards with 1.75 TD.Projecting that over a full season (which I never really recommend but in this case will make an exception), that works out to 4616 passing yards with 28 TD over a 16-game season.
Here's the problem that at least I have with this . . .Of the 30 games you have down for Warner, he saw limited action in a number of them. So how do you factor that in to the numbers?

more, this Arizona QB "controversy" or the Merriman playing with the possibility of ruining his career.
Sounds like Leinart is hanging on by a string that is likely to break with more opportunity unless something miraculous happens to Leinart. My strategy will be to either draft Warner extremely late or to to wait for the guy who drafts him to drop him after he realizes that Leinart is starting. I might even try to work a trade right after the draft, after the other owners tell the Warner owner that Leinart is the starter.
Dude, just draft him.
Why do something simple when you can completely complicate it and mess it up?That said, how come I can't find the emoticon kicking the ball when I need it?
What's your scoring system?
Right along the lines of what I project. I also rank him at QB5 (even though IMO you can get him at the end of the QB1's even with today's news). I would certainly get a solid backup plan. I believe in 6 TD leagues, Warner was something like the 5th best overall player over the second half last year.
My league awards 6pt TDs as well. I drafted today and took Garrard in the 7th round and when I went to get a late backup in the 12th round, I didn't expect Warner to be there (hadn't heard he was starting and took him strictly on upside). Problem is bothe QBs have same bye in week 7. I guess I'll have to figure something out by then but I'm happy I got him that late.
Pizza>Coleslaw?
I'd flip flop those two and say Favre is your QB2 and Warner is your QB1. I'd be absolutely shocked if, barring injury, Favre outproduces Warner. And I don't really think it will be close.
I just drafted him as my QB1 at 7.3 in a 14-team PPR. We award 6 pts/TD, .3 pts/completion, and a point/25 yards passing, and based on our scoring system, he was the 10-ranked QB last season.I had targeted Cutler, but he went at 7.1, so I went ahead and pulled the trigger. He was the 12th QB taken.
