I got to be honest, he almost made it. There's always next week
Why so high on Warner? I'd probably have Rivers, Brees and Rodgers ahead of him. I'd even put put Rivers up there with Manning, he's the real deal and its his offense now.Favre has no business in the top-10. I'd much rather take a shot on a struggling Palmer or Big Ben or Hasselbeck than Favre. Also, I own McNabb and Cutler in 1 league and think Cutler is easily the better option.
Nice list but I agree. Cutler probably should be 1/1A with Romo at the very least. I have both McNabb & Warner & have been happy with them but would take Cutler over those two in a heartbeat..
Why so high on Warner..........let me ask you why aren't you?If you'd rather have Palmer, Hasselbeck or Big Ben instead of Favre I would love to hear a little more why. I don't see it.Please expand your thoughts.
1. Agreed2. Ok, my league counts INT's count for half a TD.3. I don't see it, he's only thrown 25 TD's once in the last 3 years and that was with far superior talent around him.4. I'd say average options. Cotchery is good but more of a #2 guy and Coles is basically Cotchery with less tackle breaking ability. Keller is a rookie and the other guys are mediocre at best.5. Not sure on that, knowing the playbook and getting good playcalling are 2 different things, and I don't think Mangini/Schottenheimer are anything special as playcallers.
How does Favre get points for durability but Warner doesn't lose points for it. He's the least durable QB on the list, McNabb included.I don't hate Warner, I just feel Brees and Rivers are much safer and offer similar upside, more upside in Rivers case as I think SD is finally becoming his team. Maybe Rodgers is jumping the gun as he's still relatively unproven, but I like his weapons more than Warner's. Warner has 2 guys(pro-bowlers, but still just 2 guys) where as Rodgers has about 5 legit weapons(Jennings, Driver, Jones, Nelson and Lee) I just think more can go wrong with Warner.Palmer and Big Ben have much better weapons and better track records, people forget that Favre was mediocre and at times downright awful in Green bay as recently as 2006. The 2007 Favre is gone, he retired, what we have now is much closer to the 05-06 versions who are INT-happy and drive killers. Carson Palmer may be the best buy-low guy out there at QB, they've played a murderer's row of defenses so far and they showed signs of improvement each week. Once henry gets back and Ocho gets healthy, possibly as soon as next week, this will once again by a pretty good offense, even if they aren't living up to their 2005-era numbers.Big Ben has had a rough start, but I just believe in his talent and in the talent of Holmes/Ward/Miller and Arians play calling. Perhaps the Parker injury will force them to pass more often and more creatively. Hasselbeck's weapons will be equal to Favre's in my opinion once Branch and Engram get back, not to mention Hasselbeck is just a better QB at this stage.
Good point with the durability as Warner is fairly brittle. I just see Warner as a 260 and 2 guy on a bad day. Your right though, he is injury prone and that should maybe affect his ranking. However, I do this post for where I would draft these guys right now and I think Warner would be MY fifth qb. I like Brees as well but I got to think that team wants to get back to a ground attack like they have been in the past. Once they do that Rivers value takes a shot. I've always been a fan of Rivers I have just viewed his value in fantasy as someone like Troy Aikman, great qb on a good team that hands off a lot. Brees is losing everyone around him. He still makes the top ten cause I like him alot and I like the offensive playcalling but he is starting to sway down a little. As for Rodgers, he has done a lot better than what i thought he would right off the bat and I think a #8 ranking shows that. He might have a little more depth of weapons than Warner but I'll take Fitz and Boldin all day long compared to the best threee options GB has.I want nothing to do with Big Ben or Palmer for quite some time. Your right Palmer could come back, he has played some tough D's. That is why this will be updated every week. As for right now wouldn't touch either one of them. Ben is hurt I don't care how they are playing it off. The way he is getting hit he is only going to get worse.
