I wouldn't mind seeing Freeman in the Green and white either. I guess I can't really complain about Sanchez though.
Brady, Ben, Rodgers, there are lots of QBs better right now than Freeman. Josh is different and has some unique qualities but he is not a top5 QB at this moment. He has some potential to get a lot better which is good, but he's not there quite yet.
Now wait a second...
China Doll Stafford looks pretty darn good when healthy. Phil Simms started out on a similar path and shook off the injury bug to have a pretty good career. Don't give up on Stafford just yet.
Well sure, but that's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is the guy will be under valued. And if you're like me and wait on QBs in the fantasy drafts, you could do much worse than Freeman. Heck, I just went and looked it up and the guy finished tied for 8th in my standard 12 team league. 15.8 points per game. Tied with Schaub, ahead of Ryan.
Has to be a young QB. Ryan is the obvious choice I guess...but he is 3 years older. I don't see that Sanchez or Bradford have shown better potential.Philip Rivers? Maybe if you re-stated it to say: there's not another young QB in the league I'd prefer more if I'm building a franchise, the statement wouldn't seem so radical.Has to be a young QB.

He's 22-years-old.
You have to think this guy has a Super Bowl or two in his future.

Things change quickly in the NFL...but with the holes and youth, it seems a realistic forecast for the Bucs sweet spot is 3 years down the road. A 25 year old QB will stretch that spot longer than a 32 year old QB, and could be in a better position to win then.After looking it up, I guess Rodgers could be my first choice also...as he's only 5 years older now than Freeman, and has shown the most of the guys that age or younger. He'd only be 30.Philip Rivers? Maybe if you re-stated it to say: there's not another young QB in the league I'd prefer more if I'm building a franchise, the statement wouldn't seem so radical.
Do you think most fantasy players know who he is?
most fantasy players do, but on name value alone - most probably don't care. I would consider the owners in my local league to be "normal" and outside of the owner that has Freeman - I doubt the others know anything about Freeman or his success in 2010 (FF or real NFL).
Well, it's easy to say that 2 years in and seeing how they have both ended up. Stafford has guts and I think can bea top QB if he can stay upright. I don't have much faith that Freeman would have done much better or stayed muchhealthier with that O-line.But I have to hand it to Freeman. Heck, I have to hand it to Raheem Morris and that young Bucs team. They havedone a fantastic job in turning that club around in just one year. Kudos!
1) I get his point in regards to age. Manning and Brady are obviously better players but are 9-10 years older. Rodgers is older, etc. I would take Free over Bradford, Stafford and Sanchez, which is gump's point. 2) The creamsicles are unbelievably awesome. Love em.
I agree but if the Lions had their pick of the two right now I am pretty sure they would take Freeman over Stafford. Plus he comes at about half the price.DawgPoundNJ said:
Your normal owners sound like fish. However the magazine they buy on the racks next april before your local draft will likely have Freeman as a top 10 QB so the secret will be out, unless grabbing him 8th behind (Rodgers, Brees, Rivers, Manning, Vick, Brady & Big Ben) is a bargain.fdctrumpet said:
Not if they took him first overall.
I thought all three would be good qb's. Of course I also thought Alex Smith would be okay while Rodgers would suck.

I don't think you can draw conclusions from this one stat, any more than you can conclude that Freeman will be a bum because he threw 0 TDs and 8 INTs in two games last December (and had 3 TDs and 13 INTs in his last five games of 2009).

right?
