FITZ VS MEGATRON (1 Viewer)

need2know

Footballguy
I am pretty sure they will both do well, but who do you think ends up with better stats?

At first glance, my gut went Calvin.

But after looking at some things I am starting to think differently.

some facts/opinions on both:

Fitz's schedule seems easier to me, especially playoff schedule.

Both QBs(Kolb and Stafford) are unproven and could both be great.

Both play indoors.

ARZ has a worse defense between the two and the easier division imo.

Neither team runs the ball well.

What do you think?

My number two and number three, I like megaton slightly more because of higher td upside although I have fotz ahead for ppr

 
Both should have great seasons. I would go with CJ though. I could not argue with anyone that chooses to go with Fitz though. Like I said, both should do very well this season.

 
I think Fitz. I love Megatron but I just think Fitz will have a huge bounce back year from his "down" year last season. Fitz seems like a guy who is shooting to be the best WR to ever play the game. Lofty goal but I think he has a shot.

 
For me it's a 3 man race with Roddy White in there as well. I think A.Johnson is in his own tier. And I have Nicks and the rest in third and lower tiers.

Of those three, I tend to favor White slightly just because he seems safer. There don't seem to be injury concerns (either with him or his QB), he's proven he can put up elite numbers, and I think that offense will prove more difficult to defend in 2011 than it was in 2010 thanks to the addition of J.Jones and a healthy and more seasoned H.Douglas. A couple more of those huge gashes by Douglas in the preseason and early season and opponents' safeties are going to be trying to keep an eye on the middle even if they are assigned cover-2. Douglas doesn't have to draw a double team from the safeties, all he has to do is cause a slight hesitation or distraction and White will be able to capitalize.

Next, I favor C.Johnson slightly. I am going with upside. While I am very concerned about Stafford's ability to remain healthy, the upside is A.Johnson-esque if Stafford-to-Johnson could get a whole season together. But even if Stafford does go down (yet again), C.Johnson can still produce with Shaun Hill under center, so the floor doesn't exactly drop out beneath you like it did with Fitz last year.

Which brings me to Fitzgerald. I like him on his own merits right behind A.Johnson. But the surrounding cast still makes me a bit nervous. Now, not so nervous that I don't take him as the 4th WR off the board, but nervous enough that I reach for C.Johnson's upside and R.White's reliability first. I think Kolb will develop into a solid QB, and I think it's possible he becomes quite good. But I'm not sure if it's going to happen this year. My concern is that it may take some time for Kolb to get comfortable in this offense and that's where we've seen him struggle...when he gets rattled. So, even if he stays healthy, I can see some inconsistency and disappointing results in the first half of the season. And with the pressure on Kolb to be the second coming of Kurt Warner, that could be a caustic mixture. I worry what things might look like if Kolb is feeling the heat and tries to do too much in an offense that he isn't completely comfortable with.

 
it would be nice to have both ;)
I met a guy who was telling me about his draft in a 12 team league.He had the #1 overall, took AP and then at the turn, both of these two were left. His team looks really good.
good lord how do both fall that far?
That's exactly what I asked him. He said a lot of guys went RB/RB or RB/QB, but there were 2 or 3 WR's taken. He said it has been a long running league. Not PPR, either.

There is no denying how consistently good roddy white has been, but I think his numbers drop a bit with the emergence of Julio Jones and Douglas.Hes still a top WR, but I think AJ, CJ, and Fitz finish higher....

Who was taken? AJ, White and who else? Nicks? Damn.
 
What are every ones thought on V Jax?

I held him last year on my bench and watched him get 3 TDs in his first game back as a I beat the Rivers owner.

It was glorious.

Watching this guy in the first two preseason games, Rivers has gone to him early and often in limited playing time. Feel he could have a monster year, but there arent too many footballguys talking about him.

The guys in a contract year and I feel like he's going to explode.

Of course I'm a Calvin and vincent owner, so I have high hopes for the both.

Jackson is at the top of my second tier.I'm very high on him.
 
I have to take CJ over Fitz. Yes, I think Fitz will have a better year, but not a CJ year. Now it can be argued that both Kolb and Stafford are unproven, but I would argue that Stafford has practiced a heck of a lot more with CJ than Kolb has with Fitz. Stafford has 3 years with CJ from a practice-timing drills, versus 1 summer with Kolb and Fitz. I just don't trust that ARI will have it all together that fast.

So if I were to rank my top 5:

1. CJ

2. AJ

3. Fitz

4. VJax

5. Nicks

I don't think White makes the top 5 as I believe Julio will definitely take some touches away to his detriment. Now I could be wrong and we could be seeing another Fitz/Boldin era in Atlanta, but who's going to be the main guy? I would think Julio is a great upside pick as he won't be taking the double coverage that White draws. My 2 cents...

 
Fitz is the best WR in the league but with nothing on the other side and Kolb I would rather have Cal in FF leagues
