Much like my Ray Rice vs. Bradshaw post from last week, this is my call for Week 2.

Orton outscores Schaub even though pretty much every "expert" has Schaub ranked SIGNIFICANTLY higher than Orton.

Silly 40K "experts" with journalim/communication degrees trying to step into my FF world...get another hobby...and some basic analytical skills while you're at it.

Define "very similarly".

within a few points, FBG scoring.

I'm guessing you're excluding Dodds from the pretty much every "expert" statement.He has Schaub projected 1.8 FP ahead of Orton. So if he was spot on with both players that would fall under your "scoring very similarly".

Correct, you don't bite the hand that feeds you...I no longer critique FBG material...for strategic reasons.
 
Guess he's saying, despite 'most' expect predictions, Orton has a good chance of matching or beating Schaub this week...

I don't think I disagree heavily, but the odds are certainly better for Schaub.. I'd still start Schaub over Orton.

that's what they said when I said Bradshaw over Rice in week one..."but all of the experts have Rice 10 spots higher" Bla Bla Bla.People are sheep.

I missed the Rice thread last week, but I think its 70/30 that Schaub outscores Orton. Sure, there is a possiblity that Orton outscores him, but I don't think it will happen.Either way, you're still silly.

I would put it at 60/40 in favor of Orton...if we're going to get specific here.

"Spots higher" in the ranking and points projected are 2 diferent things... So, you'd probably better clarify..10 spots higher can mean 5 points... 10 spots higher could mean 20 points...Spots in the rankings can also be affected by other players besides Schaub and Orton.Whats the "experts" projected FF points differential vs Hucks projected FF points differential?

Sure, but for the most part a QB ranked 10 spots higher is pretty much always expected to outscore the lower ranked QB by more than 2 points...we can all agree on that. Since that statement is bothering everybody I'm just going to take it out...I didn't like it anyway. It's taking away from my greatness.

Definitly enjoying this thread..

So what are your specific projections for each guy?

I don't quote static projections...overlysimplified method of ranking players. FF is about percentages, not static numbers...eventually the "experts" will catch on...I think.
 
If only this thread had some actual analysis and reasoning, maybe we could get rid of all the idiotic posts responding to the terrible OP.

I like what you're trying to do, but at least say "Well Orton plays a worse pass D and HOU will run the ball all day long..." If you just put in 5 minutes of effort this could be a great thread.

I think Schaub scores more. (See how useless that is?)

Orton just got another decent RB on his team and I doubt LLoyd performs as well again. I seem to recall something about a Royal injury as well? I think AJ has a monster game and Foster doesn't have truck sized holes, causing HOU's still sieve-like pass defense to turn the game into an aerial shootout.

Wow. 2 minutes and now you can discuss it refute points make counterpoints....who woulda thought?

Why are these posts allowed? They add nothing to the board. Just imagine if everybody on here was insecure and needed this much attention from the board and started threads like this.

 
LHUCKS needs to learn to come to the table with actual numbers not rhetoric. What are you actual projections for both players?

The wave of the FF prognosticating future is to pick 2 players and state which one will either score more or score similarly to the other one.The experts will catch on eventually.

:unsure:

It's actually creating discussion about FF on a FF messageboard.The better question, is why are posts like yours above allowed, or why are you even allowed to post. You continually do nothing but disrupt conversation.I don't get why you're still around.

You really should go back and reread the thread if you believe this. You added nothing here. You stated that a low 2nd tier guy will outscore a high 2nd tier guy without providing any reason or analysis at all. Seriously, imagine if a lot of people did this, what these boards would look like. But as long as they keep letting you, go right ahead.
 
I am a big believer that if it ain't broke don't fix it and if it is broke then it ain't worth fixing, so I'm with you on this one.

Ironic? :thumbup:

 
At least say something like Seattle gives up so many yards/TDs through the air at Denver, while the Redskins at home held Tony Romo to only 282 yds and 1 TD. Otherwise this is blind rambling.

Kind of like last week when I called out the experts on Bradshaw vs. Rice? Just dumb luck I guess...

To be honest, I'm perfectly fine with him coming to the table with rhetoric, as long as it's good rhetoric. Basically, I'd like to see him use the word "because" from time to time. And to follow it with something other than just a period.

Actually, it might have been, or it might not have been. It's hard to tell whether your good outcome was the result of a good process or the result of a bad process, since you refuse to share your processes. Sometimes, I question whether you even have processes, or whether you just have a random opinion generator. You know, a computer program that will generate a string of text like "(insert random player) is overrated/underrated (choose one)" or "(insert random player) will outperform/underperform (choose one) (insert random player)". You're the only poster I can think of with more opinions than reasons.
