No......whats stupid is that LT is still on the board......if u don't know why its stupid.....look at his stats over his entire career!!! Again it kills me the common sense that lacks in the Dynasty startups, everyone grabs youth.........but last i checked the first year matters as well so if LT is available at my pick in the second......he is all mine no matter who else is there!

I'll win the title in the first year if everyone else wants to reach for players in the first year!

You get credit for stats previously accrued?!? Cool league!Seriously, with LT you're looking at probably a 50/50 split for touches going forward. He's not junk by any means, but his days of 300 carries are over.

 
some of you people are really underestimating tomlinson. last year, when it is pretty much universally agreed he was a shadow of his former self, he was still a top 5 RB in PPR leagues. yes, he's getting older. yes, his best years are behind him. but his current market value, based on what i'm seeing in these polls, is an overcorrection.

you realize this is a dynasty poll? He has 1 maybe 2 years left. I'd rather have a guy that is younger and will give me 3-4 years of production at least. Went with Jacobshis value also will not increase because of his age, that is certain. when the wheels fall off, they fall off fast

you want to compete this yr.. Take LT or Westy and worry about 2010 or 2011 when both guys are done.

you want to build a core of young players... I would go McFadden here.

I highly doubt that I will see a draft where either LT / Westy / and even DMac are avalable this far.

You really think Westbrook and LT both only have one more season left in them?

of course. but how many more years of production do you think you're getting out of jacobs? 3 if you're lucky. you figure this year was more or less his best case scenario, and he finished #18 in standard ppr scoring. i'd rather have 1-2 years (or more if you're lucky) of tomlinson or westbrook.

Never had under 50 catches or 10 TD's in any year, and he is not just an average back, a hall of famer who just was hurt last year.... 50/50 with Sproles, u really believe that will happen if LT's is healthy....this is the NFL and Sproles is tiny, u do the math!!!

50/50 touches (not necessarily carries) split between Sproles and LT?Abso-friggin-lutely.

I was thinking this same thing. It's a sin that these 3 guys are still on a board right now.

thats assuming LT is on the Chargers next year, which he might not be if he doesn't take a paycutI heard similar arguments for Shaun Alexander after the 2005 season. I took SJax over him in an upstart dynasty at 1.3 and the league was in a uproar...we know how that turned out...

 
Nothing makes me more angry in the fantasy football world then the non-stop comparisons made lately with LT and Shaun Alexander. To me, and this may be a personal opinion only, but Alexander to me was never a special back. He was a good back on a team with a great line who fed him a ton, especially by the goalline. It's an extreme injustice to LT and his legendary skills and talents to even be compared to Alexander IMHO. Especially now. All RBs age and decline. Pick an all time great. Unless they retired early, odds are they faded at the end. But to hear people constantly say how bad LT was last year or will be next year is in my mind premature. Dude still had 12 tds last year which for most backs is a career year. Is he slowing down? Yes. Is he washed up like Shaun Alexander? Not even close in my opinion

it isn't really the comparisons. Like I said before, when the wheels fall off, they fall off fast. I wouldn't want to be holding him when that happens. I don't know if it will be this year or next, but it's gonna happen, it always does. The signs are there (injuries) for it to be coming sooner than later

I understand wanting to get a younger guy, but these Ronnie Brown, Addai and Jacobs picks make no sense. Jacobs is 27 - only 3 years younger than Westbrook/LT - and hasn't finished better than #12 in non-PPR and rarely catches the ball.

Maybe the wrong thread, but is anyone else thinking that if you can start off a dynasty league with Westbrook, LT, Moss, TO, and Warner, go for the win now and rebuild in two years?

like i said, I'd rather have 3-4 years of production over 1-2...that 3 years is a big difference
 
Voted Westy over Ronnie Brown last poll..........and voting Westy again this go-round. I can't believe he's still available in these polls, not this late anyways.

 
This is not to mention that LT's trade value is terrible and will only get lower. I've tried to move him and the responses have been almost sickening. At the same time, I wouldn't want to pay much for him either.

I just wouldn't want to use a 2nd round pick on a dynasty RB that is going to be limited in its value.

 
considering Westbrook had his knee scoped again this offseason, I'd question his health especially past the 1 season. As an Eagle fan, a replacement is needed ASAP

I said 2010 or 2011; I don't see either making it past 2011

3 years is a lifetime when you're talking about a RB who's 27 versus 30.
 
PPR or no PPR, i'll take the 1400 or so yards and double digit TDs that Jacobs will get me.
Jacobs only produces 1000 to 1100 yds; and you'll be luckly if you get over 10 recs
In 12 games maybe. i dont look at any one player being more injury prone than another. He averaged around 17 carries per game with Ward still there. Over a 16 game season, that equates to around 1400 yards at 5 YPC (his last two season average).
 
Going Jacobs again ... getting pretty close to Westy/LT time though. In a draft if you can take the pair at the turn, it'd be hard to resist. Huge drop coming.
