[DYNASTY] Here is a list of seven players (1 Viewer)

[Raider Nation]

These are the seven main guys who I can't seem to get a read on for dynasty purposes. Wondering what y'all think their chances are of being the starter entering 2007. My opinion is next to the names.

Will these players be starting by 2007, if not sooner?

Jay Cutler - NO

Matt Leinart - YES

Vince Young - YES

Tarvaris Jackson - NO

Greg Jones - YES

LenDale White - YES

Jerious Norwood - NO

Why do you think Tarvaris will not be starting next year? Do you see the Vikings bringing in another veteran QB? Or do you think that Brad Johnson really has 2 years left in the tank?

The latter, and I think Jackson is VERY raw.

[glen5839]

I hope to God that Norwood is the starter in 07.

I agree that he probably won't be, but I will be praying that he is.

 

[Raider Nation]

I hope to God that Norwood is the starter in 07.I agree that he probably won't be, but I will be praying that he is.

I concur on both counts.Yes, Dunn is 31. But he doesn't seem to be an "old" 31. He doesn't take a lot of square hits. I figure he's got 2006 and 2007 as the starter, at least. And we don't even know for sure if Norwood has the goods. BTW, if anyone has players they are unsure of for 2007 and beyond, throw 'em out there. I'll be up for awhile, and I'd be happy to have a discussion about it.

 

[middleweightcontender]

How about Jason Campbell?

Will these players be starting by 2007, if not sooner?

Jay Cutler - NO

Matt Leinart - YES

Vince Young - YES

Tarvaris Jackson - YES

Greg Jones - YES

LenDale White - YES

Jerious Norwood - NO

Only change is Jackson. I think he's shown some nice confidence and this team is going to likely want to move on past Johnson and get their future QB in there. He seems to make things happen and shows nice poise in the pocket. Johnson seems to get banged up and I think Jackson will get a shot to show he's got the ability to be the starter there.

 

[Raider Nation]

How about Jason Campbell?

Completely depends on what type of year Brunell has.If it resembles 2005, he'll start again in 2007.If he looks his age this year, it's Campbell's show in '07.

 

[lions327]

If Plummer doesn't play well in the playoffs, I can see Cutler starting in 2007.

Boy, I am having a hard time getting my arms around that scenario. Jackson played at Alabama State. I can't see him being ready to lead an NFL team until 2008. Heck, even Alcorn State product Steve McNair sat and watched for two years. Plus, Johnson looks pretty darned good right now.

Playoffs?

[coolnerd]

Jay Cutler -Depends on the performance of Plummer. If we see Jake the Fake in the 2006 or playoffs, a realistic chance will be given to Cutler.

Matt Leinart - Of the players listed closest to a "lock" to start in 2007

Vince Young - If the Titans stick with not rushing him, then he will have "win" the position pre-2007.

Tarvaris Jackson - has looked better than i thought he would. might be given a chance especially if the Vikings are not very good in 2006.

Greg Jones - Keep thinking he is headed to be a RRBC commitee even if he is the "starter"

LenDale White - With Brown a FA and Henry just a guy, he should be starting in 2007, but LenDale has to get out of his own way to do so.

Jerious Norwood - I am going to go yes. I have seen too many RBs literally get old overnight even though I really like Dunn and have him in several (yes several) dynasty leagues.

 

[DA RAIDERS]

all of my no ways are of course dependent on no injuries

 

[Raider Nation]

Will these players be starting by 2007, if not sooner?

Matt Leinart - YES maybe

Please elaborate.Under what circumstances would Leinart not start next year? Warner was a one-year stopgap in New York, keeping the seat warm until Manning was ready, and I see the same situation here. Only way Warner keeps his job next year, IMO, is if he leads the Cardinals into the second round of the playoffs, and even then his starter status for '07 is iffy.

I don't think the Cards are a playoff team this year, anyway.

 

[Biabreakable]

Tarvaris Jackson was considered to be raw coming into the league. However this guy has such a great work ethic. He has really come along quickly. Brad Johnson is an excellent teacher. I believe Johnson will be a Qb coach once he hangs it up.

If Brad Johnson for whatever reason is not the Vikings starter in 2007 then I think Jackson will be the starter. Shuab will be a free agent next year and the Vikings showed interest in him. So that could be a fly in the ointment. But my guess from what Jackson has shown so far and his moving up the Qb 2 role so quickly is that the Vikings staff really likes him and trusts him to execute as a starter. So I don't think they will make a strong play for a free agent Qb that expects to start in 2007.

Brad Johnson may be injured at some point this season (knock on wood) and we may see how Jackson performs this year. That will be even more telling about the direction they will go in 2007.

I agree with your other players except for Greg Jones. He could be a starter sharing with Drew. Or maybe they bring someone else in. I do not see Jones as being a lock to take over at all. I think Jones is like Alstott. He can only be used situationaly and as a starter for short periods of time but would not be effective enough as a full time starter all year long.

Other players I would like opinions on Starting in 2007:

Andrew Walter - NO

I don't know if it matters so much where you played as how you handle yourself on an NFL team. Roethlisberger came from Miami-Ohio an was succesful right off the bat. McNair and Jackson are two different players, if Jackson has the leadership qualities (which I do not know), I don't see why he won't be given a shot. That team is really rebuilding their offense and it seems that Childress may try and use Jackson as the McNabb replica.Johnson may look good, but he's a filler not the future.

 

[Raider Nation]

Matt Leinart - Of the players listed closest to a "lock" to start in 2007

Agreed, though I think it's pretty close to a slam dunk that VY starts next year, if not sooner.

LenDale White - With Brown a FA and Henry just a guy, he should be starting in 2007, but LenDale has to get out of his own way to do so.

Henry might seem like "just a guy"... but reports I've read out of Tennessee indicate that he has been pretty impressive in camp to this point. Still, White dynasty owners have to hope they let Brown go elsewhere.

if warner has a good year, which he should, he'll be the starter next year. 1 preseason game doesn't prove squat. will leinart start & be good. yes. i drafted him with the 6th pick over young because he has better weapons. & when, not it, warner gets hurt leinart will be given the nod. but if warner stays healthy, & wins, it's his job to lose. i see dennis green as an old scholl dude.

Three I disagree with:Clemens has not been impressive so far. He looks uncomforatble in the pocket. If Pennington can put some zip on the ball like he appears to have finally got, I don't see why he won't be at the helm again (obviously barring injury).

Turner is a RFA, IIRC, following this season. I could see a team like the Jets or Packers ponying up to get a guy that is highly touted and proven that he can play in the league.

I love Crayton's ability, if he could jus stay healthy... he could be solid.

I don't feel pulling out my draft magazines and such, but I am pretty sure that Jackson started at Arkansas and was beat out by Matt Jones in a run first version of the spread offense. he did the transfer and play @ the lower level instead of waiting for Jones to graduate. In other words, he has D-1 talent, so don't let the school mislead.

Miami, Ohio is a MAC team.... D1.Don't kid yourself into thinking that Alabama State plays the same level of competition. Ever go to the dog track? When a "C" level dog who was dominating every race jumps up two classes to compete with the "A" dogs, he tends to get overwhelmed. Terrible analogy, I know, but you get the point.

The main reason people go to Alabama State games is to watch the bands at halftime.

So.... don't be mislead by the fact that he couldn't beat out an NFL WR for the QB job at ARK?Just playin'...

Tarvaris Jackson - YES

Greg Jones - YEs (this year) (or did you mean Maurice Jones-Drew. Then YES in 2007, maybe 2008)

LenDale White -SPLIT TIME

Jerious Norwood - 2007 Split time.

Last night, the boys on the Sirius radio fantasy football show(Caplan & Hansen) seem to think that Jones will indeed be the starting RB in Jax next season. Supposedly he is back to his pre-injury form when he was at FSU. My opinions on your questions are in parenthesis below.

Other players I would like opinions on Starting in 2007:

Andrew Walter - NO (YES)

I am seeing Pennington getting hammered and missing time again. Thats why I think Clemons will start in 2007. If Chad is healthy and successful then yeah Clemons continues understudy.Turner is a RFA but I think the Bolts may tender him at a level too high for teams to match. Will teams give a 1st and 3rd for Turner? Bolts do this to keep Turner as solid backup Rb to LT for one more year.. or else take the draft picks. But we'll see.

TO/Glenn not getting any younger. Crayton could supplant one of them in 2007.

Why do you think Bledsoe is gone from the Cowboys after this year?

Well, more along the lines of trusting a guy named Houston Nutt to make good decisions.

 

[Raider Nation]

Vince Young - NO

Another vote for Young not starting in 2007? I almost can't comprehend that. Billy Volek is nothing special. He is a ham sandwich... it's nice, but it's not a prime rib. Look at some of the players Tennessee passed up to take Young. This guy has to see the field pretty quickly. In fact, I don't even know why I listed him in my original post. I have since convinced myself that he is a lock to start in '07.

 

[ILUVBEER99]

I don't see Greg Jones ever being a featured RB.

Huge RB's don't work to carry the load in the NFL anymore since they aren't versatile enough.

Greg Jones = HT: 6-1, WT: 250

I can't think of many if any huge RB's like that who have been featured in the past few years. He's destined to a RBBC scenerio at best IMO.

I understand all this, but my point was that it's not necessarily where the player comes from, but how the player performs and handles himself on an NFL team. Jackson seems to have done quite well so far, and possibly even better than these D-1 major conference quarterbacks. Climbing to the #2 spot after 2 months in camp is pretty impressive. He's also performed quite well and drawn significant praise from the coaching staff on his work ethic.

Not if he doesn't prove ready. If he is drastically far away from being ready. They just might not.

 

[santo71]

Brandon Marshall will be the #2 next year. Marshall + Walker = SCARY.
