Big Ben, the real deal? (1 Viewer)

Let me start by saying I'm NOT a Steelers fan. I own Big Ben in only 2 out of 13 leagues. But I was REALLY impressed with what I saw last week. Its easy to forget that despite 2 horrific accidents/surgeries last year, Ben still threw for 3500 yards. Now with an offense that is supposedly throwing more, taking big shots down field, am I nuts to think that Ben could throw for 3800-4000 yards and 25-30 TDs this year? I am seriously thinking about benching McNabb for Big Ben next week in a big money league....Thoughts? :bag:
Next time, please post your complete roster for each of those 13 teams as well as all of your past FF championships and who you took to the senior prom
Combine that with a healthy start, and we could be looking at top-5 material.
Not singling you out, but this year there seem to be a dozen guys as Top 5 material.
I think we all have a different version of this year's top 5, is the problem.Ben's in mine. :shrug:
Top 10? Absolutely! Top 5? Manning, Palmer, Brady.....Big Ben? Why Not!Big Ben is the real deal. The Steelers are no longer a "run first, run second and then throw if you have to" team. Ben is healthy and has another year of experience under his belt. The only thing that will limit him fantasy wise is that if they go up big early you'll see a lot more of the running game which will limit his production. To those clowns who think that the Steelers/Bengals games will be high scoring, keep dreaming, expect two beatdowns from the Steelers :eek: :boxing:

Brady is not in my top five. :boxing:
 
I just traded Tony Romo for Marvin Harrison, so Big Ben is now my only QB. I'm all in as well.
Oh man, that is highway robbery. Sadly, none of the guys in the leagues I have played in over the years have been dumb enough to make trades like that.
Funny thing is, the guy that I dealt with is the defending and 4-time league champ. And he offered the trade to me - I was trying to deal for Adrian Peterson, dangling Roethlisberger as bait and he came back with the Harrison-Romo 1-for-1 swap. I now have Harrison, Steve Smith, Wayne, and Driver (my #1, #2, #5, and #12 receivers) in a start 3.
Jeez, your WRs are stacked. Who are your RBs, and how many teams are in this league?
12-team league. RBs are Alexander, Cadillac, T. Bell, K. Jones, and F. Taylor.
