Joe Webb (3 Viewers)

[two_dollars]

More proof that Yahoo sucks.. as a commish if someone started Webb at WR knowing full well he will be playing the position of QB all game, I would not allow it. The owner is taking advantage of a loophole in position listings. That's bad sportsmanship.

Glad my commish goes by the league rules, allowing WR-eligible players to start at WR, instead of making up rules on a whim 15 weeks into the season.

This is pretty easy though. I would ask the owner of Webb 3 questions.1) What actual position is Webb playing in Thursday's game and do you know this going into the game?2) Has Webb played any games this season at the position you are playing him at?3) Do you believe starting someone at a position they are definitely NOT playing is good sportsmanship?The key to this is, if the player knows someone will be playing position A, but starts him at position B, he's going against the spirit of the game on purpose because the site has a loophole.

 

[Kenny Powers]

Considering he's still not even owned in 10% of Yahoo leagues (although he's jumped up from 2% to 9% today), I dont think Yahoo will be too worried about making him just QB eligible

 

[PizzaDeliveryGuy]

Seems like there are two types of people in this thread. Those who rostered Webb and those who missed out.

There's a P in both looPhole and chamPionshiPIf someone else picked him up before I did I'd be pissed, but I dont think there's anything wrong with starting him at WR if thats what the league allows. If everyone hear had the opportunity to pick up Webb and play him at WR, Im thinking 70% of FBG's would say they'd do it, if not like 80-85%.Also, there's nothing guaranteeing he has a great game and doesnt #### the bed, making this tactic blow up in the faces of people who started him over viable WRs or flex players.

1 = He is playing in no games Thursday2 = yes3 = yes, obeying the rules is always good sportsmanship

Spoken just like someone starting Webb at WR.. but..There's another kind.. those of us who don't play in Yahoo leagues where Webb is listed as a QB only, like he should be, but are a commissioner and are interested in determining what the fair play is. You must be new around here. The SP actually CAN have unbiased input.

But the problem is that #1 and #2 are both correct. He has played the same number of games at both positions to this point.

 

[Instinctive]

Webb has played returner too I believe. That's typically a WR/DB/RB is it not? So should he be eligible for "PR" or "DB" or just WR as well as his quarterback designation? I mean, I don't know a lot of guys who are designated by their own team as the surefire QB and then also allowed to return any form of kick...

Let me simplify it..What position is Webb playing in week 15? What position (are you) starting him at?

Careful you don't fall off your horse... It's not always that simple. He was drafted as a WR, has played some WR, but they are also experimenting with him at QB since he's such an athlete. We're seeing it more and more already. Brad Smith is a WR, but gets snaps at QB quite a bit. It's very possible that you could go into a game with him as a WR and due to injuries he ends up QBing for most of the game. It's not bad sportsmanship, it's the rules not evolving with the athletes.

A progressive commish would already be on top of equalizing the scoring system so that there's no bonus to having Webb at QB, WR, or even PK. It's the wave of the future to have athletes on your offense instead of positional players. Why not take the opportunity to get your league rules up to snuff as well?

What position is he playing in week 15? What position do the Vikings have him listed at? No one ever said he could be played at either/or a qb/wr any week, only that he can be put in those slots. I feel it's commish decision to allow him in at the position he is playing. It's a loophole exploit to start him at the position he's not going to be playing.

so if brad smith lines up as a wr and catches a td and then sanchez is playing crappy so he comes in at qb and throws for a td should only one of those count?

 

[rooney98]

I am sitting here laughing uncontrollably at this situation especially the guy that keeps repeating "What position is he playing in week 15? What position do the Vikings have him listed at?"

The degree of self righteousness in some of these posts is hilarious.

This is a game. It is not actual war or combat. There are rules and everyone is following the rules in Yahoo where Yahoo has had Joe Webb as a QB / WR the entire season.

I just want to see this guy go out and have a good game. Let us all hope for a good performance by Joe Webb.

Cheers!

If a QB throws a ball and it's batted back and he catches it, can he be a WR the rest of the year?

Unless as a commish, you are prepared to identify every "dual slot" player in the league before the season starts and set a policy on how they'll be treated, as an owner, I would say, "Get stuffed".

Which is why I don't and won't play yahoo. A player has one and only one position on cbs. No questions no problems. That way, you can't start a player who will be playing QB at RB, WR, or Kicker or something else stupid like that.

Not necessarily. QBs are eligible receiver. Just like your scenario won't make him a TE nor a RB. Joe Webb is legitimately listed as a QB AND WR, and by the rules can be listed as a starter for either positions.So, for those of us who picked him up, what's the latest news on his hamstring and who will start as QB. There's also the possibility he starts, stinks, and gets benched for Ramsey, but as one poster mentioned, it's not like the Vikes are playing for anything and why not see what Joe Webb can do for a whole game.I picked him up, but the jury is still out on whether I start him.

 

[proninja]

Odd, I was expecting discussion on how Webb would do against Chicago, instead I wandered in the middle of a bunch of pissed off holier than thou nerds. Should we start another thread to discuss football and leave you ladies to discuss ethics in here instead?

We're going to have to let him in next season if there is one. We suspended him for 2 years after he got out of jail. Most people think that's good enough. I am thinking about making whoever drafts him next year eat raw meat the rest of the draft though..

 

[ForWhoForWhat]

I considered grabbing Webb and flexing him in my yahoo league. I opted against it as I felt it was unfairly taking advantage of a stupid yahoo loophole. Problem is, the guy I'm playing grabbed him and is flexing him against me.

Moral of the story? Morals are apparently over-rated, so do whatever the heck you want, or scumbags will walk all over you.

 

[emge]

ok so who's the smart guy that grabbed Webb to play in their WR slot and benched VJax? anyone? i bet someone did

LOL Ah, No.Benching Mason for JWebb, left VJax in there. Grabbed Bennett off waivers in case any last minute JWebb change.

I actually had a roster spot open and snagged Webb so that someone wouldn't use him against me. It has been 7 years since the last time I used Yahoo, and not only is the site still light years behind MFL, it also still allows crap like this to happen (phantom position assignments).Karma has rewarded me with an excellent start to the weekend with Mr. Jackson of the SD Chargers. :

 

[zftcg]

Well ... sort of.As of right now, my WRs are Austin and Wallace. Given the former's inconsistency and the latter's potential to spend Sunday on Revis Island, I picked up Webb earlier today and am considering subbing him in (most likely for Wallace if Revis does indeed cover him), but hadn't made any decisions.Meanwhile, on my way home from work I heard that Floyd and Gates were definitely out. I thought of picking up VJax, but then remembered a) getting burned on a similar move in a Thursday night game by Garcon last year, and b) getting burned by VJax in the Indy fame a few weeks ago. I just couldn't pull the trigger. But it wasn't a conscious decision of VJax vs Webb.

I wonder if those people are just jealous they aren't playing in Yahoo! leagues, lol...there is no such thing as an unbiased point of view in life.

So, you don't like that Webb is allowed to play WR in some leagues. You don't want to allow it as a commish. You ask three questions that you think will nail those that want to play Webb as WR. When you realize the answers to your question would allow him to be played as a WR, you change the questions. That's awesome.

 

[hip80]

How is this any different from playing Desean Jackson at WR knowing that you may get extra points for a punt return? I guess maybe the fact that PR is not a usual fantasy roster position makes it different. A crafty owner might even roster the Eagles D/ST along with D-Jax and get double the points on a punt return.

I think it's smart to look for players that have an advantage of being a true "flex." I was hoping Dexter McCluster might pan out this year as a RB/WR/KR (even though I didn't roster him, I kept an eye on it).

Play the game, be smarter/faster/more attentive than your opponent, win the money.

Yahoo league, Webb owner for the sole purpose of waiting a week to see what happens and keeping my opponent from using it against me.

[Don Quixote]

In the one Yahoo league I'm in, I'm out of the money and in the consolation brackets. I picked up Joe Webb just so no one who is still in it for money could.

 

[hip80]

From Roto:

Drafted in the sixth round by the Vikings, Webb spun the ball impressively in rookie camp and was back at his old position by summer ball. He played in four exhibition games, completing 17-of-30 passes (56.7 percent) for 191 yards, three touchdowns, and an interception. Even more impressively, Webb rushed 11 times for 126 yards (11.5 YPC) and another score.

Fast forward to Week 13. Enamored with Webb's physical ability, the Vikings put him on kickoff returns against the Bills. Webb caught just one kick, but brought it back 30 yards.

For anyone saying he hasn't played both positions this year...

Just for the record, I'm not arguing that he hasn't played WR. I'm of the opinion that if Minny has him officially listed as a QB on their official website, then QB should be the only legal spot that you can start him.But what do I know? I'm just a 7 year commissioner that's had the same group of guys coming back every single year that pay $150 to enter with $1 per player acquisition fees. ... in other words, I don't think I'm a ruthless dictator as someone here accused me of And for those of you that keep referring to leagues (plural) that have him listed as QB/WR... it is only Yahoo that is dealing with this issue.

As I indicated, I'm in the consolation brackets. Am I not supposed to try to win that? I'm removing him as an eligible player because there are a bunch of drama queens in that league. If a team in the running for money picked him up and attempted starting him at flex, I can guarantee that I'd have an e-mail chain at least 20 e-mails long with people trading profanities at each other. It's for my own sanity.(And it's a 10-team league; there are plenty of better QBs available on waivers, so lack of QBs is not really an issue.)

 

[OPS]

Unless the league's rules specifically state otherwise, you have to let people start him at WR if Yahoo has him WR eligible. The only thing worse than taking advantage of a loophole is changing the rules midseason. Address it in the offseason if it is not in your league's rules.

I did pick him up in my Yahoo league, but I don't plan on starting him. The reason is not because I am such a moral person that I would never use a loophole. I'm not starting him because the results could be disastrous. If our league didn't penalize turnovers, I might think about starting him. However, I don't want to risk multiple interceptions and fumbles against a good team in cold weather.

 

[tdhartis]

Can we please stop arguing the ethics of playing him. If your playing him great, your a scumbag , if you are against it and outraged your side has been adequately heard. I think most people would like to discuss his matchup, expectations, injury, etc. that has only encompassed a few posts out of multiple pages.

You've got to be kidding me. As commish, you made moral decisions regarding whether a player could be rostered or not in a league? I'd quit your operation ASAP even if I was your best friend for life. That's pathetic.

It's what the setup allows. I'm not the commish in that league.

That's terrible sportsmanship! Why are you exploiting a setup knowing that you are removing an eligible player from the player pool for teams that are actually in it. As an aside, what if some owner wanted to play him at QB?

As I indicated, I'm in the consolation brackets. Am I not supposed to try to win that? I'm removing him as an eligible player because there are a bunch of drama queens in that league. If a team in the running for money picked him up and attempted starting him at flex, I can guarantee that I'd have an e-mail chain at least 20 e-mails long with people trading profanities at each other. It's for my own sanity.

(And it's a 10-team league; there are plenty of better QBs available on waivers, so lack of QBs is not really an issue.)

What do you win/lose by winning the consolation bracket? You're right, "there are a bunch of drama queens in that league".Any team that is out of the playoffs and not playing for a prize this year, should not be allowed to add/drop players. Just my opinion, but I'd think in most leagues if a guy out of contention was picking up and dropping players there'd be a much larger email chain.

Anyone considering rolling him out over Brandon Lloyd?

Yes starting him over both Lloyd and Hines Ward, no negative points in my league so at worst Webb should get 4-6 points

I win the bragging rights associated with Yahoo's 5th place trophy.You are raising more of an issue about me picking up Webb than anybody in the league has, as no one in the league has said anything about it. If I was dropping highly-rostered or desirable guys, I could understand a problem, but I dropped my backup DE who is rostered in less than 20% of Yahoo leagues to make room for Webb.

Unless as a commish, you are prepared to identify every "dual slot" player in the league before the season starts and set a policy on how they'll be treated, as an owner, I would say, "Get stuffed".

Which is why I don't and won't play yahoo. A player has one and only one position on cbs. No questions no problems. That way, you can't start a player who will be playing QB at RB, WR, or Kicker or something else stupid like that.

iirc, this guy is also the commissioner that doesn't allow vick on anyone's rosters. he's not to be taken seriously.

Seriously? Whoa.

If this is factual, can I get a link? That thread has to a pretty good read. Imagine if we banned all of the bad guys from being rosterable.

I picked up Webb in my Yahoo league and am contemplting using him in the WR (like many on this board). I would exchange him for my 3rd WR (Ochocinco). What I discovered is that in my standard PPR (4 points passing TD/6 points rushing and 1 pt. per 10 rush/receive yards and 1 point for 25 yards passing) scoring, is that Webb may not even be better than Ocho. For example:

Webb puts up a line like this: 150 yards passing, 1 TD, 1 INT, 25 yards rushing

he would end up with a score of 10.5 points (-2 for the INT)

Ocho puts up 5-75:

He would end up with a score of 12.5

Neither of those scores are outlandish for what could be expected and the scoring is pretty standard for a PPR.

I have no problem playing the guy (anyone could have picked him up), I just wonder whether everyone is so gung-ho about using him, they are not considering the potential downside with the weather and the INTs.
