I think I have the best WRs too. And that is amazing after ignoring that position until the 4th round in a league that makes having good WRs a premium (Must start 3 each week)
The FFIndex looks pretty weak to me. Taking 3 QBs in your top 7 picks was a very bad strategy. Especially considering the 2 guys they got. Add in that their top WRs are I. Bruce & K. Johnson & your looking at a bad WR corp without much hope for huge bust-out type games. Williams & Faulk are nice at the bottom of the draft, but expecting Faulk to play all season & make up for that WR corps is asking way too much. As bad as their WRs are you would expect a nice deep set of RBs, but if Williams goes down the only option is C-Mart, and his lack of TDs really hurt his ability to be a solid starter.
Jerry Porter ws a HUGE reach and I think they have too many players that will need to perform on fewer touches to be considered anythign more than simply "competitive."Red Eye aint in the same class as FFGuys and FFIndex.
I thought the 3-QB strategy was rather odd, too, but if you look at the team, it def. makes up for a lack of star WRs and is VERY competitive in this format of no starters, big plays, and overall points:QB: McNair/TGreen/Brad Johnson - should be top 5, if not top-2, every week in scoring from this spot.
Hey Musesboy, Thanks for converting all that info for us!!!!! I'm sure everyone appreciates it..... I know I do. Thanks again Dude!!!
Yes - Very cool. Thanks a bunch. It will be interesting what some of these "experts" are going to say in the magazine.What was your strategy? - "Well now that I have looked at my team a bit, I am guessing I had no strategy"Whose team would you trade yours for? - "All of them look better at the moment"What will it take for you to win? - "Outside of divine intervention, I am going to need a lot of players on other teams to get hurt"

Agreed - Tom Brady, Plummer, or Garcia would have been better upgrades from Leftwich or Brunell, especailly when that opened you up to take Rod Gardner, Keyshaun Jonson, Deon Branch, or a host of other WRs who would probably be just as fine to go along with Coles, Moulds, and JSmith.I wonder how many times you will use Toomer as one of your three-wides versus the times you wish you had either Plummer, Brady or Garcia over Leftwich/Brunell.You can't complain, though since you did it "correctly" - you got three RBs and three wideouts, plus a backup wideout, before doing your QBBC.
Scroll through the last two pages of the thread.(I guess someone too short of time to type out "you" or "are" wouldn't have time to do that either, huh?)
Umm, I was told there would be no MATH in this quiz?!?Yes - ardethan, I think you are 100% correct. In this format, it makes little sense to forego a decent starter at WR or RB for a TE unless that TE's name is Tony Gonzales. The risk versus the reward just isnt there in a total points/no starter league.
Yeah, I can't understand that with the personnel they have lost in SF.Someone bought me a 49ers calendar and 4 of the 5 players for Jan through May have already left the team. Streets, Stone, Young and Owens.If Barlow had been the sole starter two years ago, I would have been much higher on him. The way the 49ers are going makes me think that they will be forced to the air often this season and Barlow's numbers could take a hit.Barlow and D.Davis drafted before Taylor.
David - first off - thanks for sharing the draft. I read the thread this am - entertaining stuff for May!Now the shot - IF you're 'way high' on Brunell, why do you and Joe have him 20th on your 'expert rankings' QB Board? Are your rankings real or just a list of players at each position? There was a time when you or Joe (cheatsheets.net?)would take flyers like that. What happened?
If Hambrick does indeed win the starting job in Oakland, my team looks very solid:Team 1 (Footballguys)QBs (start 1): Mark Brunell, Byron Leftwich, and Joey HarringtonRBs (start 2): LaDainian Tomlinson, Travis Henry, Tiki Barber, Troy Hambrick, Kevin FaulkWRs (start 3): Laveranues Coles, Eric Moulds, Amani Toomer, Jimmy Smith, Peter Warrick, Reggie Williams, Travis TaylorTEs (start 1): Boo Williams, Desmond ClarkPKs (start 1): Ryan Longwell, Olindo MareDefs (start 1): Dolphins, Bills, SaintsHambrick looks like an inspired pick now he's a Raider
Dodds - Hambrick could choke to death sucking on the backside of a baboon and your team would still look very solid. If he becomes the feature in Oakland, it's just gravy.If Hambrick does indeed win the starting job in Oakland, my team looks very solid:Team 1 (Footballguys)QBs (start 1): Mark Brunell, Byron Leftwich, and Joey HarringtonRBs (start 2): LaDainian Tomlinson, Travis Henry, Tiki Barber, Troy Hambrick, Kevin FaulkWRs (start 3): Laveranues Coles, Eric Moulds, Amani Toomer, Jimmy Smith, Peter Warrick, Reggie Williams, Travis TaylorTEs (start 1): Boo Williams, Desmond ClarkPKs (start 1): Ryan Longwell, Olindo MareDefs (start 1): Dolphins, Bills, SaintsHambrick looks like an inspired pick now he's a Raider
http://football16.myfantasyleague.com/2004/home/78446I guess that's why they play the games.. I'll still never understand why leagues like this use a best ball as opposed to total points, but it's interesting to look back and see where the supposed "strongest" teams sit after 13 weeks.It's not over, but it's heating up..
