Who do you suggest then? And then go look at their fantasy playoffs last year.

He didn't look very impressive last week...

I didn't say last year...I said six years. McNabb has a bad history of either being hurt during Fantasy Playoffs, or playing sparringly because his team has the division locked up. I like McNabb but you better get a real good backup when you draft him otherwise you're going to be "that team" that blows people away in the regular season only to get beat in the playoffs. I have learnt this lesson from personal experience.

What a waste of time that was.
Took forever to load. I saw like 4 passes in 5 minutes. I saw a closeup of McNabbs butt...then his knee brace. Wow. Toothless Eagles fans. And a ball that should have at least been broken up, if not picked, because he never looked off the WR.

Your computer must be old, or you are on dial up, because it loads instantly for me. Look at the lob pass to Schobel. That was incredible.

I think McNabb can help you to a championship, but you must be willing to commit to an early QB2. If I can get McNabb as the 8th-9th QB off the board, and grab one of the first QB2s, in most cases I will end up greatly outperforming draft position.
Notice again how I said he can HELP you to a championship. You must capitalize on those early picks at other positions, especially compared with the Peyton, Palmer, Brees owners who most likely spent a pick 2-3 rounds earlier than you did with McNabb.

I agree with this assesment. The only thing is that McNabb is more like the # 5 or 6 QB off the board. I have yet to see him go as late as 8.

Damn. That's way too early for Schaub, imo. I don't like McNabb this year. Palmer's knee wasn't healthy at this point last year and he had 2 additional months of rehab compared to McNabb and he ISN'T a mobile QB (which I think is a huge part of this injury/rehab that people are forgetting). I think that McNabb's knee swells up like a fat kid at Halloween and gives him problems all year.
I'm staying away. Too risky for as high as he's going.

Since when does a QB alone win you a fantasy championship?
whodeywhodey
Footballguy
Only when you have 6 pts per TD passing and your QB has a record setting year like Peyton's a few years ago. Even then there were a few QBs that were also very solid (I think CPepp actually outscored Manning in one of my leagues that year).

I completely agree that McNabb is usually earlier off the board, and in that case he won't be on my team. I have no problem whatsoever with drafting a QB early. However, I believe you have to assign the proper value and stick to that as the draft progresses. Unless there is an extremely early run on QBs, I stick to my plan.As many others have said, it's all about value. McNabb as the 8th QB drafted is most likely a good value. McNabb as the 5th QB drafted is likely not any value at all.

How did Palmer have two more months of rehab than McNabb when Palmer hurt his knee in the playoffs and McNabb hurt his Week 11, November 19th?

I think Palmer took a ride in Doc Brown's DeLorean. It's in the director's cut right after old Biff gives young Biff the Sports Almanac.

McNabb states he's not at 100%, and won't be until mid-season. I'm a big fan of his, but I won't be reaching for him at his adp given the question marks and history.

Even though it has already been pointed out, I feel like piling on!McNabb is the one with the 2 additional months of rehab. You see, January comes 2 months after November.

I think that occurred around the same time we started make snap judgments based on a few highlights from a preseason game.

That CANNOT be underestimated. Elway got PO'd when Tommy Maddox was drafted too.

McNabb is the next best QB to Manning HANDS DOWN.
Haters, please keep your opinions to yourself. Thank you.

Gone but not forgotten!Oh, and my favorite part was when he said something like "apparently some of you don't know how to read a calendar." 
All the Bengal fans must be so proud... too bad he deleted it.

And last year he wanted to show how much he didn't need T.O. It doesn't seem like that kept him healthy.

And that will happen where in most competitive leagues? That would mean that the likes of Young, Romo and all would go ahead of McNabb, which won't (and shouldnt) happen.

Apples and Oranges.There is a HUGE difference between the two situations.The first he did do very well, it was a freak injury. The team still made the playoffs, and McNabb was HUGE all year long, even better FPG than the beloved Peyton. This year, he needs to prove he is the present and future. Big, big year. Magic 8-ball says yes!

Could be because you've been "pumping yourself up" to this video all night. There's a thing called a browser cache.

What gave it away? The "westbrook36" alias or the black and green typing?

I love him even better as the 15th QB off our board, and 133rd overall pick (including 36 keepers).

As I said in post 18, I'm looking for value. If there's no value, then the risk tips me away from choosing him anytime before QB5 on average. QB 6-7, it's probably just a little bit of value, but anything after that, then it's value. I should also say that it isn't just about how many QBs have been drafted, but also the round of the draft. Obviously, there is a difference between 6 QBs being drafted by the end of round 3 and the same at the end of round 5.I agree that in most competitive leagues (90% maybe), it means I will probably be on the outside looking in when McNabb is drafted. I still think it's an accurate point, however. I know I'm not being aggressive here, but that's not my style. I'm not a huge FF risk taker, nor am I trying to look cool in the forums, I'm just saying that is the strategy I recommend.
It's not much different than me saying I wouldn't take Peyton Manning until very late in the first round. In most leagues, that means I don't get him because I won't overpay. However, once in awhile, the situation will align in which the guys sitting near me late in the first round are all "stud RB" guys, so when I pick 2.02 I will have the opportunity to draft him.
Bottom line: At the right price, he's worth it. If the price is too high, I'll pass.

Also referring to Koya: Peyton, Palmer, Brady, Brees, Bulger are all generally listed above McNabb in rankings.
So McNabb is 6th already, and if people jump on the Kitna bandwagon, that places McNabb 7th.
My advice about selecting him 8th means only one other person needs to go after a Young, Romo, Leinart, Roethlisberger, or whoever else you want to throw into that group.
It's not like I said he's a good pick 15 QBs in... it's not THAT far of a stretch.

Exactly, and specifically it is not a good strategy to fall in love with a certain player and become determined to draft him at all costs.VBD in a nutshell right there.

Uhhh.... not really. Everyone wants to come up with some extra motivation for him. He's a terrific QB when healthy. But all the motivation in the world won't keep him from the kinds of injuries that have caused him to miss 19 games over the last five years. He's starting to rival Fred Taylor in the "games missed due to injury" departmentPocket Joker said:
