Dynasty Value: Manuel v Geno (1 Viewer)

[SaintsInDome2006]

Voted Manuel.

Anyone feeling/hearing/reading better things on Manuel these days?

Is he expected to have a major rushing component to his stats, or is he expected to be nearly all pass?

Manuel is supposedly looking "ahead of schedule" at Bills camp, compared to where the coaching staff thought he would be at this time. Early talk seems to be that he is already beating Kolb in the race for the starting job. Take that FWIW.

Neither guy ever showed the tendency to run. EJ runs when he needs to, so he's more Josh Freeman like than anywhere near what Kaepernick is as a runner. I think his career will look like Freeman's. i wouldn't touch him this year though.

Geno is a pouty, overrated diva. If the Jets didn't pick him I think he would have slide another round or so. He is fast for a QB, that might help for FF, but when I watched him he doesn't look interested in running or getting hit at all. I think he will be a bigtime bust, NY media will destroy him.

I really like what BUF is doing on offense, going uptempo. Manuel in the shotgun with Spiller next to him, Rogers and Woods on the outside, and Stevie in the slot. Basically a pick your poison situation. If BUF hadn't made the completely idiotic choice of Goodwin over Wheaton, that offense would be scary.

Smith reportedly had a terrible day at camp today, throwing multiple interceptions in 7-on-7 drills.

Geno's ex-mates question team leadership

By Rich Cimini | ESPN.com

Several of Geno Smith's former teammates at West Virginia blamed last season's collapse on a lack of leadership, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune Review.

No one singled out Smith by name, but he was the quarterback and a team leader, along with receivers Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey.

"Last year we didn't have, you know, a lot of leadership," junior RB Dustin Garrison told the newspaper.

The Mountaineers blazed to a 5-0 start, but finished 7-6. Smith absorbed a lot of criticism for the second-half skid, but the defense allowed 50 points per game during that span.

Another damning quote came from junior OL Quinton Spain, who said: "What's different this year is we're more a team. There ain't no I's; we don't depend on nobody. We just depend on all of us at once as a team. So I think this year will be better than last year. There wasn't no team. I could say there was a team early, but once we started losing we saw the I's come up, so it just hurt the team worse."

Bump. More than halfway through the season, who do you got here? They've both shown some good things (with Geno having more of an opportunity due to health and Manuel still having the pedigree).

Do either of these guys have difference-making potential, or are they cursed to be mediocre QB2's forever?

How are people valuing these guys in dynasty?

I see more of an upside with Manuel. I think Geno will fade away

I agree. Geno just looks uncomfortable and rigid when on the field, I don't like it.

Both bottoming out. At least Geno should get one more opportunity.

I can't believe there was a discussion about these two turds and dynasty.
