List of qbs you think are dropable for tebow (1 Viewer)

[dboysrock94]

I am thinking it would benefit us all to debate and see who is the qbs that are worth dropping for tebow this week I would say grossman, flacco, mccoy, sanchez, bradford, kolb are all droppable as far as #2 qbs go

I agree with all that you listed.

 

[zandbak]

JaMarcus Russell

 

[Raider Nation]

All of them.

 

[CowboyFan]

McCoy has been very consistent this year, that would be a dumb move.

 

[Run It Up]

List of QBs that Tebow should start over in every form of football (fantasy, professional, popwarner):

1. Mark Sanchez

2. Joe Webb

3. Injured Chad Henne

 

[Anonymous Internet User]

I'm considering dropping Freeman for him.

 

[thriftyrocker]

About 9 guys I wouldn't drop for him.

 

[Reepicheep]

About 9 guys I wouldn't drop for him.

I'd say a few more than 9. Here's the list of guys I definitely wouldn't drop for him, in two unordered tiers. The only caveat being if my two QBs were both in the second group, I'd probably try to trade one of them away and pickup Tebow.Rodgers

Brady

Brees

Rivers

Stafford

Vick

Cam

-----

Romo

Ben

Hasselbeck

Manning

Fitzpatrick

Schaub

 

[Simayi]

Have Brady and Kolb, dropping Kolb for Tebow

 

[flooredyas]

Cutler

 

[lazyike]

In 6 point passing td leagues the list I'd drop for Tebow is much smaller. In that system I have him in that 15-20 QB range

 

[Donsmith753]

Dropping Bradford for him. Other Qb's are Stafford and Newton (2QB league) so I can take the risk.

 

[FGITLOTR]

In 6 point passing td leagues the list I'd drop for Tebow is much smaller. In that system I have him in that 15-20 QB range

But with almost a rushing TD per game, his value goes up significantly. I think he's higher than 15-20, even in 6 points per TD pass leagues

Just to be clear, it's not "almost" a rushing TD per game. So far he has a rushing TD in all five games in which he has attempted a pass. And a passing TD in each of those games. Of course the pace could slow, but QB 15-20 in 6 point TD scoring is typically in the 16-17 points per game range, I don't see how that can be considered anything but Tebow's basement. I mean he just scored more than that with 10 pass attempts and 6 rushing attempts.

Good list. I might add Ryan to the second tier and probably drop Hasselebeck, but I agree for the most part.

 

[Sinn Fein]

I would drop Mark and Luke, but keep Matthew and John.

 

[Bigboy10182000]

I have Rodgers and Kolb and dropped Kolb for him a couple minutes before the games started. Kolb is @Baltimore on GB's bye

 

[Warrior]

Dropped Kolb for Tebow, didn't have much hesitation there.

 

[footballnerd]

I'm considering dropping Freeman for him.

did this.

 

[packersfan]

Based on this thread, there are going to be some good QBs - and maybe some very good ones - available on the Waiver Wire in a lot of leagues next week. So if you don't get Tebow, you may still be able to land a quality QB.

 

[Banemorth]

How is Matt Ryan not on anyone's list? He's the epitome of QB busts...

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Dropped Kolb for Tebow, didn't have much hesitation there.

Same.

 

[DoubleG]

How is Matt Ryan not on anyone's list? He's the epitome of QB busts...

- in my main league (dynasty, btw) he is QB16 - most had him in the 8-12 range, so I guess he's underperforming somewhat, but it's a little early to call him the "epitome of QB busts". Flacco or Kolb, sure...ironically even Orton, but Ryan, not so much...yet.

 

[Clifford]

Dropping Bradford for him. Other Qb's are Stafford and Newton (2QB league) so I can take the risk.

Also doing this. Bradford has been horrid and St Louis looks like a complete mess on every side of the ball. I think he's a good QB but he won't put it together this season.Tough to drop him this week since he is facing GB and Tebow is on a bye (2qb league) but it's a good long-haul play. Tebow has the bye to practice with the first team, and he has to know this is his last shot. If he screws this up I doubt anyone would ever consider him a starting QB again.

This is a good example of what I posted earlier. I agree Bradford hasn't been very good and the Rams look like a mess in the passing game but I think Bradford is a very talented QB, there's certainly potential there and maybe getting Clayton back in a week or two helps. I'm going after Tebow in the league where I have Orton as my QB2 but I may not be real aggressive with my bid because if I don't get him that likely means a QB I like was dropped and will be available next week. Like Bradford. I'd be very happy with Bradford as a consolation prize next week if I didn't get Tebow this week. Same with guys like Sanchez or McCoy (both of whom have been productive in my league scoring) and even Freeman (who's been bad but still has talent in my opinion). I'd be absolutely giddy if someone dropped Ryan in my league for Tebow but there's no way I see that happening.

I believe you are making a mistake in coorelating NFL talent with fantasy production. Bradford, Sanchez, and McCoy aren't even comparable in production to Tebow in fantasy leagues. Ryan and Freeman *might* be in the ballpark, but I'd still rank them fairly significantly below Tebow.

Already did this in two leagues. Freeman's a back-up in both, anyhow -- felt OK gambling on Tebow's fantasy upside.

Why no love for Hasselback? #8 QB to date in our format. Do you think he'll have that much of a drop off that you wouldn't even keep him as QB #2 on your roster over Tebow? Or do you think Tebow will be borderline #1 QB for a fantasy team?

I'll echo this. Ryan is a nice name on paper. I have him as backup to Stafford in one of my leagues. Scratch that, had him as backup.Dropped him for Tebow this morning.For perspective, Ryan was QB21 in our league's scoring, behind such fantasy gods as Jason CampbellAlex SmithMark SanchezColt McCoyTarvaris Jacksonand speaking of total points, he is barely ahead of Andy Dalton, Joe Flacco, Josh Freeman, Kyle Orton, and Kevin Kolb.It's a calculated gamble, but I'm just not seeing irreplaceable numbers out of Ryan. Time to accept he's not a great fantasy QB and move on.

I'm not making that mistake. I'm talking strictly about fantasy potential. No question Bradford's been bad, but I do see potential there. Sanchez and McCoy are QB15 and QB16 in my league, respectively. Both of those guys have been rock-solid QB2 options so far. Ryan is QB18 and has been a disappointment but there's no denying his potential in my opinion. Could Tebow outperform all of them? Sure, it's possible and maybe even likely. But that isn't my point. What I'm saying is that if you miss out on Tebow, there could be a good chance you still get value on the WW next week depending on who's been dropped. I think that's a nice position to be in if you don't want to go All-In on Tebow this week.

See you an I have a different way of looking at it. Generally, I agree with what you're saying, but we're talking about backup fantasy QB's here (at least we are if you have any illusions of making the playoffs in your league). You're saying you'd rather have a solid, if unspectacular mid QB2. With my depth, I'm shooting for the moon. If Tebow has a 20% chance of being a QB1, a 40% chance of mediocrity and a 40% chance of busting I'll take that all day as my QB2 over a guy like Sanchez/McCoy who have already demonstrated it's very likely that where they're at is roughly where they're staying.

The bolded. That, and I think as CJ comes back to form (or at least closer to it), the Titans will rely less on Hass and more on CJ. So I think Hass drops down into the mid teens in terms of QB production. I also still think Ryan's best games in 2011 are ahead of him. Hass is what he is (imho) - a solid QB2, but the QB1 upside lies with Tebow. I like both. Honestly, I was going to pick up Hass until this week's anouncement. I'll be adding Tebow for two reasons: 1) Higher upside 2) It's dynasty.

 

[packersfan]

You're saying you'd rather have a solid, if unspectacular mid QB2.

No, that isn't what I'm saying. I'm in agreement that Tebow has more upside than nearly everyone listed in this thread with the exception of Ryan - who has been a disappointment but in my opinion has Top 10 potential if things go their way in Atlanta. Again, I'm not disputing the possibility (even likelihood) that Tebow outperforms everyone listed in this thread. What I'm saying is that if you miss out on Tebow there appears to be, based on this thread, a very good chance that you'll still be able to get value on the WW next week.I'll use the league I mentioned as an example. I have Orton as my QB2. He actually had been pretty good in my league's scoring before last week's meltdown. I'm going after Tebow in that league. If I get him, that's great. He's the guy I want. But if I don't get him, it's pretty much a virtual certainty that a QB I also like will be there for me next week. So I don't view it as an all-or-nothing deal this week with Tebow. I'd love to get him but if I don't, I think I'll still be able to upgrade my QB situation (losing Orton) with someone I like who also may have a lot of potential as well, even if that QB doesn't have the same fantasy ceiling as Tebow does.

 

[QuizGuy66]

Depends on who your #1 is. I have Vick with Flacco backing up. I tried to drop Flacco for him but he was claimed ahead of me.
