Kurt Warner (1 Viewer)

Well, as funny as this thread may be, and it did kind of turn into a pissing match between guys who love Kurt more than his muppet wife Brenda and USC fanboys wanting to get in the hot tub with their dreamy QB hero, nobody here really addressed one of the original questions asked... what's Warner's value right now?

Warner may be putting up top 5 fantasy numbers, but due to the many reasons discussed here, he doesn't seem to hold that same trade value in fantasy leagues.

For instance, is giving up a RB2 like Steve Slaton too much for Kurt Warner? And yes, I do have a vested interest in this question. And before the thread nazis tell me to redirect it to another forum, I'll save them the trouble and post the link where I'm dealing with this issue.

Fwiw, in a 12 team redraft league (standard scoring all td's 6 pts, turnovers -3) I just moved Warner for Torry Holt. Could of had Eddie Royal instead.The problem with trading Warner is, although he's putting up top 5 qb #'s, no one puts him in the same class as guys like Romo, Brees, Peyton, Cutler. Despite his #'s, everyone still puts him in the 2nd tier of QB's with Rivers, Rodgers, Eli, Big Ben, etc. The recent retirement talk doesn't help his value either.

The trick is to find an owner that doesn't have a 1st or 2nd tier qb, and there's likely only 1 or 2 teams that fit this profile in most 12 team leagues. When you factor in that there will be other teams which have 2 tier 1 and/or tier 2 qb's on their roster, and thus could also be willing to move a tier 2 qb, QB supply and demand isn't going to be in most Warner owners' favor in the vast majority of leagues.

Warner owners looking for a big payday are mostly going to be disappointed, imo. The only real way to maximize value in a trade is to deal Brees, Romo, or whatever other tier 1 qb you have, and keep Warner as your starter.

What can we expect against Dallas this wknd....I can go with him or Cutelr at home vs. Jags.

I think warner is a great play....shootout game.

About the same value as I found... I just acquired Warner for Chad Johnson.

I just see a shootout...or at least a high scoring game vs. Dallas....so I think Warner does really well.

 

[DaTruth]

I agree that it's gonna be a shootout. Dallas is gonna put up some serious points on the Cards and Warner should be throwing all day long. I was comtemplating between him or Orton, but I think i'm gonna go ahead and start Warner.

Is Dallas D really that bad?

Is Dallas D really that bad?

They gave up 217 yards and 2 TDs passing to the Bengals at home last week. That isn't exactly intimidating.

I haven't read this entire thread, but in case anyone was still wondering if he will be benched - this season Warner is top 3 in the NFL in QB rating, ypg, completion% and TDs. If he gets benched something is seriously wrong.
