So I was pretty convinced I was a genius who nabbed Brady for a couple bucks cheaper then Brees and Manning in my auction draft.
My goal, to own one of the "sure top 2" qbs by seasons end, and to me, Brady was going to be the cheaper of the 2 (him and Brees...so I thought).
Now as we all know, he has started off a little rusty so far. Thats not to say that the pats dont still go for it on 4th, and barring an occasional game plan where they run the #### out of the ball, it really does look like Brady is going to get to sling the rock around all season long.
So I was not, in any way shape or form, thinking about making "backup plans" at one of my highest paid positions after just 3 weeks of football....that is until the last day or so.
We have no idea what is up with Welker, but something seems fishy to me that he has to sit out all preseason, then play week 1, very actively at that, and then miss weeks 2 and 3??? Something seems very strange about that, and we know that Welker helps maintain that offenses ability to keep drives alive with his short grabs.
Even with the Welker questions swirling though, I still thought the better move was to hang tight with Brady and hope he catches fire late and finishes strong (instead of 07 where he petered off during fantasy playoffs).
Now we have Moss with "back issues". Now they are REALLY hyping it up...saying he could barely put on his jersey before the week 3 game, and then not even able to bend over to take of his shoes at the end of week 3. I dont know how much of this to believe, but I would say his back is clearly bothering him in some capacity.
Once again....why? Backs dont typically "hurt that bad" for some strange reason and then magically go away. Often times its a disc issue, nerve issue, etc, that in turn strains muscles over compensating for the rest of the back.
Im not saying for sure we are seeing the beginning of a season long struggle for Moss to deal with this back thing, but I am saying that something is fishy....I mean its week 3, how much wear and tear could we be talking about here? Sure Moss still lite it up last week with the bad back, but if this did stretch out, rest assured he would slow down with it.
Then you got Galloway sucking balls.
Edlerman dinged up himself and a damn rookie who was a qb a year ago.
Taylor added to a mix of RBs that could def be used to help "cover" for a passing game that is struggling (not just from rhythm as we have been suspecting...maybe its deeper then just that?).
Its all starting to stink to me.
I want nothing more then to be "right" about going after Brady in my draft....but im starting to think that I should sell now, while the name is still something, cause if week 8 rolls around and Brady is a 10th ranked fantasy qb...then thats all ill have, and nothing else.
Anyone have any insight to talk me off this ledge? Im ready to trade him for Romo (in a non negative league)!
