He's not going to be bottom 10. I just don't think he'll light the world on fire either. Bottom 10 would be below Freeman, Delhomme, Hasselback, Garrard, etc. That's damn near impossible. He'll be fine. Probably 3700 yds, 20 tds, 15 ints.
Care to unpack this a bit? Why do you think he'll be bottom 10?
I don't to be honest. but he won't sniff top 10. Yeah, i know he plays in a pass happy offense and he has a lot of weapons, but to me he is a guy who has played two full NFL games (good games, but still just two) against very lousy teams. He is going to throw a lot of picks and PHI is brutal to their players when they don;t perform. Look at the way they treated DM. Kolb isnt half the QB he is.
Theres a misconception. Philly is brutal to players that don't try their best or whine while they are doing it. We love guys like Aaron Rowand who will run through a wall. We'll cheer Roy Oswalt taking one for the team and playing left field when no bench players are left. We love our hardnose crazy players like Dawkins even though as many plays as he made, he'd still let up a big bomb occasionally. We never got down on him cause we know he'd give it his all and take full responsibility for his failures. McNabb never fully accpeted responsibility. There was always an excuse. I know because I made many excuses for him over the years. When he blamed our "youth" last year for the Dallas losses though, I was done with him. He was whining about other players when he was awful. Thats what Philly fans hate. Kolb gets it. He's stepped up to the plate and answered every question thrown at him so far. He's stated why the team needs to improve and how he needs to do it. He's never said he's the leader but people just know he is. Kolb is our kind of guy. As long as he tries his hardest and gets it done, then he'll be fine.
in summary,rowand is the man becuase he sucked for his 1 full year of playing in philly
Perhaps you misunderstood. Our media shreds him yes. The minority in Philly shreds him. The majority loved him though. McNabb was the best QB we've ever had for this franchise. But it was time to move on. 10 years and no title. With a youth movement, McNabb doesn't really fit in. He wanted out as much as people wanted to move on. I loved McNabb for years but when he started blaming other players for the teams failures, it was over. You don't live in philly so I'm not sure why you care. You don't have a clue how people act in this town.
neither do you.
Says the man who doesn't live here.
im from new england and i have relatives in philly. one of my closest friends is from philly. i get it.
Well my brother in law lives in Boston. Guess that means I know how Pats fans think too.
most do.Well my brother in law lives in Boston. Guess that means I know how Pats fans think too.
So most don't really care about football and only follow it once the Sox are done. Even then its more about who really cares if the Pats lose, we got Pitchers and Catchers in Feb.
I'm picking out of the 7 spot in a 2 QB league as well. I'm planning to take Rodgers or Brees with my first pick. But I'm also hoping to land my second QB in the 2nd round (Manning is doubtful, so probably Romo or Brady). I think there is a lot of RB value in the mid-rounds, and I don't want to have to reach for a QB like Eli or Flacco in the mid-rounds.Goooals said:
We get to choose our draft spots, and in my 2QB league I chose 7 for the exact same reason - see above post.
Looks pretty solid. Brees and Manning should keep you in almost any game all year. If one's off, the other shouldn't be. Grant and Best should be a solid duo. Nothing fancy but should produce good numbers. WR needs some help. Ward and Nicks arent bad but both are about a WR3 maybe pushing WR2 if Nicks pans out.Goooals said:
2QB league, why not? It'd be like Getting AP and M. Turner. Why not try to do that?
i just explained why not. look at the rest of his team. it is mediocre at best, unless all of those guys triple their average year production.
The guy has 2 studs at a key position in his league. He took some gambles that could pay off (Best and Nicks) to make up for it. Same as if he took 2 stud WR's or 2 Stud RB's high and gambled on Cutler and Stafford. His team looks pretty decent for a 2QB setup. Especially 6pt TD passes.
I'm wasn't just being argumentative above. I have played in a competitive 2 QB league for about 6 years. Of course, I tihnk having Brees and Manning is great. However, most of our winners have nevers had the top flight QB's. The guy with with Manning is perenially in last place, the guy with brees is a middle packer and the brady dude is a homer. I've won the league with Ben ROeth when he broke out for 25+. I got him in the 9th round that year. I partnered him with Hasselbeck, whoI goit in the 5th. Last year, the manager had warner who he got later than the big 5 or so and put him wiht orton. they year before, favre and some othre scrub.
I have one in 5 hrs. Ill post the results tonight.
Thats because the guess on the breakout QB pairing in the later rounds failed to make the top 10. The guys last year in the championship for my league had Rodgers and Favre (Runner Up) and Brees and Eli (Champion). Obviously not drafted in the early rounds but if you can take 2 sure things, why not do it?
Very similar to what I believe my draft will look like. Positions #1,2 and 3 did not draft a QB until the 7th/8th.
