Look at Pope's second half vs. first half(remember he was only a Sophomore last year acclimating to a new offense)Next look at Johnsons PPG.Now, take into account Gates only scored 61 more points than the two combined...(3.5 points per week roughly)People draft TE too early in this format.
thats funny, if you got, every point they scored for everyweek, but it dont work that way. forgive the formatting but here is there weekly scores:TE Leonard Pope 8 11 0 0 2 2 15 0b 0 27 4 7 11 9 0 0 0 96TE Eric Johnson 21 7 12 0b 13 11 15 6 10 15 5 3 5 5 0 0 10 138and in best ball format like this here is what you get:21,11,0,12,13,11,15,6,10,27,5,7,11,9,0,0,10, = 168 points, including three weeks of 0'sso by my count Gates got 130 more points than these two clowns combinedpope's second half sucked, BTW, almost as badly as JohnsonsLHUCKS said:
Right, be honest, that's a lot more closer than you realized. I took my TEs significantly later than everybody and Gates went in round 3BTW, I'm projecting a career year for Pope and expect a similar year from Johnson.
Is this career year for EJ going to be at New Orleans? Are you sure that he'll be there?
I didn't say career year for EJ, just a similar year which is being conservative IMHO. I believe NO will resign him, but I don't have a crystal ball.
QB pair as good as any? check3WR in top 20 last season, and still WR1 on their teams? check
surprised you didnt take Rodgers there Perry. Might be a little more valuable to your squad.No one took Brandon Jackson or DeShawn Wynn or Vernand Morency from GB, which is a little surprising.
1) As I said BSS - I had looked at the possibility. GB sources say over 90% for Favre to come back so injury would be the only way to get Rodgers in my lineup - for a last round pick if he had any more value one of you vultures would have taken him 2) I think Ryan Grant made everyone forget about all those guys - look for two of them to be gone and replaced by a better RB they get in the draft this year
I came close to drafting Jackson but opted for Wright instead. I thought someone drafted Leonard. The guys on yuor list are in danger of being #3 on the depth chart and I imagine most teams had other needs. Still, a couple of these guys may make a splash next year.Captain Hook said:
Nice for Fro that Fargas re-signed in Oakland for starters money.
total team numbers will be available when this is completed. Not sure what the individual numbers are that you ask about.
I thought maybe you rated everyones RB1, assigned it a Number, then everyones RB2 a number. etc. maybe just link us to last years post that explains the numbers a little better.
I think he's just judging each of your sets of QBs, RBs, etc. and multiplying by his factor.
That is correct, it is my perspective of the potential effectiveness of each individual team considering only one position at a time. I did not break it down any further last year. I uess who were just having an "Andy Pettite mis-remembrance".
Thanks for taking the time Razr.I think I most disagree with your ranking of my RBs and WRs.rzrback77 said:
You still think Caddy was a good pick?
I would be surprised if others ranked your RBs any higher than 12th and I have your WRs 5th. Do you think that fifth is too low?
The total numerical ranking does not take into account K or Defense. Your solid K and Defense moved you up to #14.@43.0 I'm 16th...rzrback77 said:I like my chances at finishing better than that, but most everyone thinks that and somebody has to be the worst!

I presume the lack of comments so far are because your rankings were posted over the weekend & because many in this draft have nothing else going on here so aren't checking back as frequently.That said, I disagree with the concept you espouse in your opening statement AND the rankings where you give a Stud QB and a weak backup significantly more points than two Top 10 QBs (at least in 2007). For instance Palmer and Redman get a significantly higher score than my Favre and Houston. Palmer (and those of you who owned him in 2007 don't need to read this again..) was a major disappointment last year. Palmer in fact was QB9 in 2007, one spot behind Favre AND he also had fewer points than Schaub/Rosenfels combined. So pair him with a guy who might not even be a starter next year and in a best ball format he gets more points? Sorry, can't buy thatrzrback77 said:
I did say that QBs were all very close. Do you disgree with this?Last year Favre went much later in WSL as speculation abounded as to whether he would return. This year there is more confidence that he will play again, but how sure are we? And if he plays, will he match his effectiveness again? He will be 39 in October and only 4 QBs have passed for over 3,000 yards at that age (Testaverde, Flutie, Moon (twice) and Simms). I know its Favre, but those are long odds.

This is really why evaluating the teams is very hard.I'd rather question / deliberate certain picks and/or overall strategies vs. particular teams, as anything can (and does) happen.Look at Earnest Graham and Derek Anderson - neither were on a roster last year (in WSL) yet both were Top 10 in their positions.
Without a doubt a difficult thing to prognosticate anytime, but especially six months prior to the season, but my wife was out of town visiting her Mom and I had some free time on my hands. I thought it would generate some discussion.This is really why evaluating the teams is very hard.I'd rather question / deliberate certain picks and/or overall strategies vs. particular teams, as anything can (and does) happen.Look at Earnest Graham and Derek Anderson - neither were on a roster last year (in WSL) yet both were Top 10 in their positions.
First - my squad. McGahee has a new OC in town Cam. Have you seen how productive the backs are in Cam's system? draft Willis as your RB two in H2H leagues this year boys. I know Fred Taylor isnt sexy or anything and he'll loose carriers to MJD, blah blah blah. We'll hear this every year until Freddy hangs em up. What Jacksonville does works. Foster looks to get cut and hopefully go somewhere and be a RB2, C.Henry is behind FatDale for this coming season. I like my RB's better than Rudy,HTF and Im at least on par with Lhucks all ???? team and the Captain has MB3.2nd - Ducky's got Bush whos a PPR monster. Rudi who will be starting in Cincy. And Unless Chicago drafts someone, Benson is at least week1 starter and has been great value in these survivors. I know Benson isnt the greatest, but he's the best RB3 in this thing.
Bulger and a rookie - Bulger has played 15-14-8-16-12 games over the past five seasons, not reliable. I know he has Frerotte, but do you bet your squad on a back-up and a rookie QB, that's why he is that low. Capt. Hook in retrospect, is probably too low, but all that group from 6 on down is really tight. I probably should have gone with a compressed assigned score as I believe that the QB rosters are tighter than any other position.I also like Eli (I have him on my dynasty team, so I may be looking thru the rose colored glasses), but SF should not be better than Texans. It was the Favre factor that gave me my lower ranking on that team.
these rankings look pretty good. Except I think Twilight should be ranked 15 infront of only Rudy. Not alot to like about Twi's WR other than Colston. I think Frank deserves a higher ranking. Chambers is going to put up good numbers next year. With a healthy McNabb (Big if) R.Brown should be better this season as well. True Franks 4-6 WR's dont look too good.rzrback77 said:
I believe my ranking is too low. I wouldn't trade my Rb's for anybodies in terms of overall consisency. I believe Lynch and Graham will produce very nice numbers each week. Thomas and Julius will contribute valuable bye week points and have some weeks where they surprass my RB 1 and 2's just because of a juicy matchup and Hart will find his way into the lineup on whatever team he plays for thru the course of the season. I don't need him to produce week 1 with the depth I have at RB but could use him later on in the season. He will play.
Interesting here. I like this years squad alot better than last year.Last Year my QB's were a little weak - Delhomme & McNair - both got hurt.
Grant > McGahee, Parker > McGahee. Parker scored plenty of TDs two years ago. I suspect improvement to the mean this year. You can't discount Henry and Norwood while giving props to C. Henry, Taylor, and Foster. Why do you assume that Norwood's career 6.1 ypc is only RB2 material?
I was just jabbin those guys alittle.I dont think you deserve a #2 ranking though. I said 5th or 6th is about right.
I was hoping more people would respond
I like my chances at finishing better than that, but most everyone thinks that and somebody has to be the worst!
