How many QBs will reach 4,000 yards OR 25 TDs this season? (1 Viewer)

yeah drafting a qb early this year is not paying dividends. My brady-moss league I'm barely hanging on, with ksmith/bush/mendenhall at rb. Had leon too, who did not do much before going down...
It is a qb league, and will be for the unforseeable future. Lots of great talent, and some talent sitting behind better talent...

Disagree. This was THE season to get a qb and wr early. With guys like Benson, Rice and Thomas Jones available later, Brees and Peyton are paying off, if you took the right backs later.Brady Started slow, but if you took the right backs 3rd-6th rounds, he'll be money through the push to FF playoffs.
this makes zero sense. No one knew benson would blow up. Neither did anyone know rice would do what he's doing. TJones is overachieving a bit, but went slightly later than he should have. Meanwhile, there's like 15 qbs that are doing well above their projections...

Just for the heck of it, I took a look at what the top fourteen QBs were on pace to finish with:
Rodgers: 4500/32 (plus an additional 440/4 rushing!)
Schaub: 4700/30
Brady: 4800/32
Peyton: 5100/32
Brees: 4600/34
Roethlisberger: 4600/28
Rivers: 4500/28
Romo: 4400/26
Favre: 4000/32
Cutler: 4100/28
Palmer: 3600/28
Warner: 4400/32
Eli: 4000/30
Flacco: 4000/24
For comparison's sake, Peyton and Brady's career averages (4200/30 and 3800/28) would rank near the bottom of that list. Their medians would be basically at the bottom.
Now granted, not all those guys are going to keep up that pace, and some of them are going to miss some games to injury (and that's part of the reason so many are on such a large pace this year, barely any QB injuries), but it's still pretty remarkable. People used to say Peyton was worth a first round pick because his consistency guaranteed you 4000/26 out of him. But right now, there's enough guys doing that (or better) for every team in the league to have one.

I drafted Bensons in 3 out of my 4 leagues. I watched him last year and knew that he was going to be good. All it takes is watching a few games rather then sitting behind a computer and reading fantasy sites
