Where did you read that?

Fair enough. Any other errors.I'm sure the guys at FBG will rectify this shortly
I've been disconnected for a while. Short story, I'm an auditor, if I read the depth charts and see Q. Carter as #1 QB, I discount everything that is presented in that depth chart due to that eggregious error. I'm counting on the depth charts for drafting 2nd and 3rd place individuals. To me this is 70% of why I pay for this site.
No, if you're an auditor, you would find this one error and then do more testing.......you wouldn't discount everything else.Also, to begin your "audit", you would need some kind of formula to get an idea of how much and what kind of stuff you are testing or counting. Some audits only count 10% of inventory, for example. Don't be so friggin' critical.
What are you ten??He has a valid point, if such a simple piece fo informtaion is incorrect how can you trust any of the other information in the depth chart.Culcasi has bigger worries like how he is going to beat the Mighty Team Peens in week 1 of the No Mercy Barracuda league.I doubt he will update the depth charts anytime soon, I think he left town out of fear.

No Im not 10, Im making a F'n Joke that obviously went way over that pea brain of yours. If you dont like the material then dont pay for it and unsubscribe instead of whining about a QB everyone that follows football knows the guy was CUT!!Maybe Culcasi actually has a life and is on vacation or something. Relax and go have a smoke or something.What are you ten??He has a valid point, if such a simple piece fo informtaion is incorrect how can you trust any of the other information in the depth chart.Culcasi has bigger worries like how he is going to beat the Mighty Team Peens in week 1 of the No Mercy Barracuda league.
So over one error, you wouldn't subscribe? I certainly hope that if you ever are in a management position in life, you are a little more forgiving to your employees. Same goes if you ever become a parent.You KNOW Cater's not the starter, so why can't you look past it and move on?Now about the sheet having Hearst as RB1 and Griffin RB2......
No, it doesn't defeat the purpose of paying for it. I hate to break it to you but many companies in this world aren't perfect. Many everyday, UNINTENTIONAL mistakes do occur. It just happens. In fact, if you were to look at the financial statements of many Fortune 500 companies, I'm willing to be that you would find a few minor unintentional mistakes that would be on the same level as FBG's listing QCarter as Dallas' QB. And those financial statements are depended on by people who are probably a lot more important and richer than you and I. Mistakes happen. You sound like the one who's 10.This defeats the purpose of paying for the information.No, if you're an auditor, you would find this one error and then do more testing.......you wouldn't discount everything else.Also, to begin your "audit", you would need some kind of formula to get an idea of how much and what kind of stuff you are testing or counting.

In all fairness, if this is to be considered one of the top FF sites around then the information should be correct...Not pointing fingers at all but do agree that there should be more than one set of eyes on the stuff that comes out...The vast majority of FBG'ers are very loyal and are willing to overlook some stuff, but again if you are trying to be the best then the product you put out needs to be the best...Also to be fair, for the content that FBG's put out they should incresase their subscription rates accordingly...Flame on...:Noted:Had to drop my son off at football practice. Poor form maybe, however a 2nd pair of eyesshould be reviewing everything before it hits the paid site. It should not just be one person's responsibility. Just my 2 cents.

Actually, while this is most definitely a simple oversight and is easily corrected, publicly pointing it out may have a beneficial effect. FBG is an excellent site and I'm sure all the staff here are proud of their product, as well they should be. However, when something this simple slips through the cracks, it's a bit of a black eye, as far as any new visitor to FBG could tell. I don't think FBG wants something like this tarnishing their reputation. Publicly pointing it out has probably got the guys scrambling to make sure such a simple error like this doesn't happen again and also re checking things to ensure there are no other oversights.Remember, all of us old hands are well aware of the great stuff this site has to offer. We see Q. Carter still listed as the starting QB and take it for what it is, a simple mistake. However, a FBG neophyte, unaware of just how good this site is, may take one look at the Dallas Depth Chart, chuckle to themselves and write FBG off as one of the many lesser Fantasy Football sites that are out there.Even worse, they may spread the word to their friends. You know something like this, "Hey Jeff! I was surfing the web the other day and I ran across this new Fantasy site. Figured what the hay, I'll give 'em a try. They suck! Can you believe those bozos still had Carter as the starter for Dallas?"Definitely not the kind of word of mouth FBG wants. I guarantee you this post has caught the attention of ALL the FBG staff. No matter which particular FBG staff member let this mistake slip by, I can just about guarantee you that it won't happen again.

I understand the oversight because who drafts Cowboys players anyways?
I think I need to explain my frustration early this morning. This is without a doubt the best site for fantasy football. I have gone from a "neyophyt" 
(whatever) 3 years ago, (drafted bad QB first round) to a 2 time champion in a 16 team league. Maybe the football guys need 2 depth charts; one for "team listings" and a second for football guy projected depth charts. I would not hold anyone's feet to the fire on a projection. I think if any group could come up with a great consensus depth chart - football guys could

lucky7, I was not saying that YOU were a neophyte. But I was pointing out that everday somebody new comes across this site and THEY are neophytes to FBG.Sorry if my post came across as a personal observation regarding you. That was not what I intended. It was meant as a much broader commentary.I have gone from a "neyophyt"
