Might be time to add Calvin Johnson to the list after this one. I voted Chad, but I think Calvin will start to get some votes soon.

But are those the only guys to add? I think that some people would push for Calvin Johnson or Roy Williams to go in. Could someone try to make a case for Welker yet? It's almost like you need a poll to figure out who to put in this poll. I voted for Chad.

Personally, I think there are still at least a half dozen guys I'd rather have than Calvin.

Aren't you on record saying that you believe Calvin will be a bust? In that case, shouldn't you say there are 30-40 guys you would take ahead of him?

If your hype says you're going to redefine the position, 5-6 guys ahead of you = bust. :wub:

I disagree. I believe that a bust constitutes a complete or near complete failure. For example, Keyshawn never lived up to his hype, but I do not consider him a bust. Busts are guys that do little to nothing while having a lot of hype. More examples:Donte Stallworth = Not a BustMike Williams = BustDaunte Culpepper = Not a BustRyan Leaf = BustReggie Bush = Not a BustRashaan Salaam = BustAnd so on. Not living up to your own hype does not necessarily make you a bust.

I was mostly just playing... but I think only Reggie Bush comes close in the hype dept. Donte, Leaf, MWill all were high draft picks that didn't pan out, but CJ2 was the new prototype WR, 6'5", 4.3 speed, body control, crisp routes. He was the new prototypical WR in the NFL, the one scouts were going to model. FWIW, I think he'll be just fine. I think he could use a single offenive philosophy, and a QB that can see straight, and he'll be a top 10-15 WR in no time.

TJ's not even the best WR on his team???

He is numbers wise and last I checked that's what counts. Not to mention its no sure thing that Ocho is back in Cincy.

The second part I can't disagree with, but if he's gone then its likely TJ's numbers go down, not up.For the first part, it completely depends on which numbers you're looking at. TJ's got catches, TDs.... but Chad's got the lead in the only number that matters in the long run.... fantasy points.

I like Brandon Marshall.

I know Ocho Cinco's #s are always great at the end of the year, but he seems to have 3 or 4 huge games and just as many duds. Too inconsistant for my taste.

:thumbdown: My thoughts exactlySorry about the double post. Most boards Im on have an auto-merge if consecutive.

I own Marshall and 85 on the same dynasty team, so the only bias I have is that I am a Broncos fan. Even without that, I think Marshall is clearly and definitely the better choice for dynasty and possibly even redraft.

:thumbup: I just can't help but think that we've seen the best of Ocho CInco and TJ, but Marshall has a lot more to show. Redraft, I might still go with Ocho as long as he's still in Cincy, but it's close. (I went with Marshall in this poll)
 
I think the Marshall love is getting to extreme levels. The guy has had one big season. I get that its exciting to own a young guy before/right when he breaks out but to think he's already STUD WR is just silly IMO. I don't want to make any generalizations but the I'd guess the people who would take Marshall over the Cincy WR's and Steve Smith, are the same guys who in 2005 would have taken Michael Clayton over Marvin Harrison.

Marshall looks good, but let's see him do it again before we crown him.

 
Ending this one; will put up the next one with same list, but hopefully will get some discussion of whom to add next.
