Some of the folks around here fancy themselves experts so they're going to be looking to smackdown the "experts" out there when given any opening. That said, as the expert, you're expected to be above the fray and accept criticism gracefully. You failed miserably there, but consider it a learning experience for next time.Good luck with your site.
True, but I can only imagine the communication he has subsequently had in an attempt to mitigate the damage.Hilarious implosion. And without a doubt, an ill-prepared draft that most on here could have done blindly. I love it.That's better. At least it is a beginning point for discussion
Well, I guess I'm not an expert afterall. Dangit! You know I come from a league that gives points for alot more, and being I had ZERO time to prepare, and normally don't even start thinking FF until late July, I did pretty well. Sorry, I don't live up to your standards. I'll let my wife know.True, but I can only imagine the communication he has subsequently had in an attempt to mitigate the damage.Hilarious implosion.

If you had the Draft Dominator, you would have been more prepared than most of the guys you were drafting against. Go download it right now (its FREE), and you wont have to worry about not being ready next time.And sometimes risks are what wins championships. I dont knock anyone for taking risks, although you took more than I would have cared to.being I had ZERO time to prepare, and normally don't even start thinking FF until late July, I did pretty well.

Two different issues...1) VALUE drafting and getting guys you target where they should be drafted in order to get more value. And you certainly CAN lose a season at the draft.
You can't really say that drafting McNabb in the first round isn't good value right now. If he does what he did last year maybe it wasn't a good pick. If he throws 50TDs and Runs in 11 more than getting McNabb at 1.11 was the best pick of the draft. The reason I say you can't lose a season in the draft is simply because the NFL is so unpredictable. You can draft the best team, have your three top guys go down and still win the league. Or you can draft the worst team out there, pick up the tops guys in free agency and still win the league. No one acutally knows what is going to happen this year in the NFL. All we can do is make our best guess using stats, news, stories, talking to players and coaches, and keeping an eye on everything available to us. But nothing is for certain. Barber could get hurt and
Ron Dayne could explode for 29TDs and 2000yards . Now that is very, very, very, extremely unlikely, but... nothing is impossible. Then the guy who drafted junk and picked him up would be in the chase for the championship.
I beg to differ. In every league I've ever been in, Fantasy Football IS about scoring the most points. Outscoring others at a position is merely a means to an end.
That's exactly why most of the posters here are giving him grief--because they don't think it's likely that his RB's will be able to keep it close enough for McNabb & Gonzo to make a difference. You can build a house with more spacious rooms and a prettier roof than mine, but if it's on a weak foundation, it's not worth as much as mine is.
And you can't lose a 100 meter dash by falling down at the start. After all, everyone else in the race might have a heart attack before they reach the finish line. It's just a lot more likely that you'll lose if you do fall down.You can't really say that drafting McNabb in the first round isn't good value right now.

I have played in many leagues where at the end of the season the guy that scored the most points didn't win the championship.
Right.. and at the time of the fall people are going to talk about the fall and then say, it will take a miracle for this guy to catch up after THAT fall.Remember the girl who pooped in her pants - I don't even remember if she won or not - Pooping in her pants was THE story.The NFL season isn't a 100 meter dash though its a 26 mile marathon. If you run a marathon and fall down at the start you can still win.
You are Correct SIR!

Thats what is funny about this. This thread has turned into one long stretch of stuff about the draft of FFSearch. Your right he fell down and now is the story.It would be tough to overcome and quite an uphill battle.Dayne doesn't even backup Barber anymoreThe reason I say you can't lose a season in the draft is simply because the NFL is so unpredictable.

Personally, as I said in my write-up, your picks in rounds 1 and 2 are examples of the "Do The Opposite" theory of Paul Charchian. Both players are great picks for fantasy football, but where they were drafted is most everyone's problem. If McNabb performs up to your expectation (regardless of whether anyone thinks he will or not) and Gonzo has a typical Gonzo year, you stand a chance. You need to hit on your RB's. And it can happen. Last year I was picking at #11 in a 12 team expert league and decided to use the stud WR theory as we started 2 RB's and 3 WR's. I grabbed Torry Holt and then came back with Terrell Owens. Drafted Curtis Martin in round 3 (remember, he wasn't expected to do that well at his age, and after that 2 TD season he had in '03), and Javon Walker in round 4 (which was soundly looked upon as a mistake by the others, but we know who got the last laugh there). Came back in round 5 and got Lee Suggs, then Trent Green in round 6 (which was the steal of the draft as I had him as my #4 QB last year and he was the 9th one taken). Started scrambling for more RB's after that (William Green, Eddie George, Lamar Gordon, Ron Dayne). None of them (besides Martin) did me much but I paid close attention to our "first come, first served" FA rules and managed to get through the season with pickups Mewelde Moore, Sammy Morris, Tyrone Wheatley, and finally Julius Jones (snagged him two weeks before he came back from his injury).
almer and Holmes/LJ (add up all three at week 16's end)vsMcNabb and your best finishing rushers on the year (week 16's end)Care to take my friendly challenge? I won't even use a 2nd runner, just use LJ.
"Here's the big question.... Why hasn't anyone commented on Rotoworld's team?"
Oh yah.. I remember that one now... Forgot about it after all those posts about search's team....I don't liek staley that much this year cuz i think that bettis will get goaline carries and short yardage carries. I think Shockey will get about 8 tds this year and have quite a few 85 yd games...
Sure you can.If I draft Ciatrick Fason in the first round and he rushes for 2000 yards, catches 60 balls for 750 yards, and scores 22 TDs, that was not a good value selection. The reason it wasn't a good value selection is that Fason could have easily been taken in a later round.
Not if the rest of the field tramples your bloody carcass.The NFL season isn't a 100 meter dash though its a 26 mile marathon. If you run a marathon and fall down at the start you can still win.
and didn't want to chance that he was gone. You can still win by drafting guys a bit early, but you can't say McNabb is a good pick no matter how he finishes. He would have been there in the 3rd round.
Your runners are close though, but i have injuries covered.
Say what?Here's the big question.... Why hasn't anyone commented on Rotoworld's team?
Say you draft him in the tenth and he gets run over by a bunch of stampeding turtles and gets 0yds and 0tds, does that make him a good value. NO it doesn't. If McNabb has 50tds and 11tds rushing and he gets taken at spot 11, that is value, its just not as good of value as if you got him in the third round.
If no one else will take McNabb until round three, he is a reach in round one.
