Mcnabb Torn ACL (1 Viewer)

This could be the most significant fantasy event of the year. McNabb owners have been dominating every league I'm in.

the only bigger thing I could think of is if LT2 or LJ went down for the year..Obviously catastrophic for any McNabb owner..
 
I am not a fan of Mcnabb. I am actually quite the opposite. Having said that I think this sucks and I wish him all the best. I do think he is one of the good guys in the NFL.

 
From a fantasy perspective, it is uge news, but from an NFL perspective, it's just as big.

How many players in the NFL would have as drastic of an effect on their team if they weren't there, as McNabb will have? We saw what happened last year when McMahon had to come in.

I would guess that only Manning, Brady, and, possibly, Steve Smith would have as much of an impact on their teams.

Philly was 5-4. I predict they will finish 6-10.

Not sure how they know it's torn yet. It might be but how can they tell so soon? Normally, we don't hear about tears until 1 - 2 days after the game.

CBS reporting it's torn as well. They won't know for sure 100% until the MRI, but in a lot of cases you can pretty much tell without the MRI. There's exceptions to that, like Edge a few years ago, but there ya go.
 
As I'm sure SSOG will explain soon, just start your backup QB guys.

Then if you add up your total QB points for the year, you'll still have a top 5 QB.

No big deal.

That was a weird play to tear your ACL on too.

I tore my ACL my freshman year in college playing hockey. I passed the puck up and was all alone in the corner. As I pivoted to face the other way and start skating up ice, I dislocated my knee cap and tore my acl. It was a minor tear, but it just goes to show you. There was no contact, I just pivoted and my knee cap slid out of place and tore my acl. It doesn't always take massive trauma to cause an injury.

True... you see the injury.. and nowadays... 8 out of 10 times you guess it right, torn or not. Glad I don't own him, but I noticed McNabb owners in 2 of my 3 leagues didn't even have a backup QB, the other has Leinhart.

There is a simple test that is done involving manipulating the knee area and testing its resistance to allowing the tibia to be pulled away. It is extremely accurate and the MRI will simply identify how severe the tear is (it quite possibly was completely ruptured).The irony for me is incredible as I was leading my league with McNabb at the helm. I completely tore my ACL earlier in the year and had surgery to reconstruct a few weeks ago. This news is not making my own rehab any easier... :cry:
 
Good for the cowboys...trying hard not to say how great this is...

Eagles fans would not be so humble...sux for them.

 
Aside from grabbing Garcia, one of the better plays to make at this late date is to grab Jason Campbell off of the waiver wire. He looked pretty good today and he won't leave their lineup this year - they're committed to him.

The only other names that occur to me as being likely available at this late date are maybe Seneca Wallace or Trent Green; maybe Aaron Rodgers given the Favre injury. Wild cards might include Cutler or Culpepper.

It's a rotten time for this to have happened given that it's after most leagues' trading deadline.

McNabb is definitely done, but Favre should be fine, so scratch the Rodgers option.
 
As a McNabb owner Im going to use Rivers as my starting QB the rest of the year. Hes 11th in my scoring system so he should be fine and hes actually outscored McNabb his last 2 weeks. As my backup I am going to pick up Jason Campbell. I have zero interest in Garcia.

please list all FA QBs and your waiver wire order, along with full league rules...

Hey #####. I figured other McNabb owners would wanna know what other owners are doing. Im just listing my situation. I really am not looking for one bit of advice.
 
a) TO must be smiling :D .... karma is a beotch ain't it Donovan?

b) Who will stop Indy from being unbeaten now if they win today vs Dallas (leading 7-0)? Maybe Cincy or maybe Miami in week 17?

c) Somewhere, FOX is smiling since they let NBC keep the Indy-Eagles game and decided to keep the Pats-Bears game. The Bears-Pats will be so much more compelling now.

The other problem is how McNabb got injured. He got bumped and did a somersault. If that puts you out for the year you are deifinitely fragile. I think the Eagles are done and it is dicey to count on McNabb in the future. He is a good guy, but I think the Eagles have to start looking to the future.
