Dirk's offense works, clearly. He'll befall the same fate as Tony Dungy though if he's unwilling to fire his buddy on the other side of the ball. It's not like that defense has anyone returning to it after the bye who is going to help.
Maybe if he crawls to 8-8 and fires Smith he hangs in there again. I love his offense but I don’t think he is suited to be a HC.
Tall order if that defense can't figure something out. It took 3 historic QB performances for the team to even be 2-2. Good luck, Jameis.
It’s bw Jameis vs atl and dalton vs Pitt for me. Both tasty matchups. If Dalton’s weapons weren’t dropping like flies lately it would be Dalton as a slam dunk but the john Ross/eifert/gio/Kraft injuries are making me pause.
Actually I just looked up dalton’s History vs Pitt. Not good. They own him. The way tenn owns bortles. To the bench he goes and stating either Winston or mayfield
CLE not the greatest matchup although the game is at home.
I switched from Watson to Winston at 11:59 yesterday. Turned a L into a W. Nice to get one right for a change.
Oh wow. That's interesting. I loved the announcers saying you couldn't advance a fumble anyway. Uh, guys, you can't advance a forward fumble, not laterals. That actually could have worked, then, if it was practiced but it looked pretty bad.
Nope. He's a loser. Had 2 picks and it should have been 4 but the ATL D is as bad as the TB D, including inability to catch balls thrown right at them, which Winston did once. I mean it was right at the defender. Hit him in the chest because he can't catch.
Only if they make a major mistake and retain him. Franchise QB's do not carry around 18-27 W/L records while piling up more turnovers than TDs. David Carr was draft #1 and thought to be a franchise QB. So were Jamarcus Russell and Sam Bradford. When they stink, that means you just made a huge mistake. Fitz would have won this game.
Finally. But unless the new guy is a magician I don’t see how it matters. The scheme is the scheme.
Goff will get a steady 20 points every week but he isn't going to get in many shootouts. He's finished in the top 12 QBs in only 2 of 6 weeks.
We'll see. Duffner just needs to be more aggressive.
See a lot of "experts" just lumping Winston in as a top 5 QB this week and not looking at this matchup. CLE no pushover against the pass.
Glad you acquired him as well
Debating the same thing (2QB league -- other QB starting is Ryan). Dalton against the KC D has very high upside, but so does Winston against anybody with those weapons and that defense...
CLE D takes a little bit of a step down on the road.
To be fair, the difference between #5 and #10 QB is probably 2 fantasy points. My dilemma is Goff or Winston, and FBG has them 0.15 points apart in MyFBG. You're probably splitting hairs
I have the same two. Sat Luck last week and although he was splendid, the decision won me the week, as I only won by 3 points (and Jameis outscored Andrew by 8).
I think the weapons are a huge part of it. Luck will have Hilton back, but he'll have to face White, who's one of the top shutdown corners left.
I think Winston's game against Atl is misleading. Outside of week one, Atl has given up 3 passing TDs every week and over 330+yds except for the Pitt game where it was still 250.
This was one reason I almost didnt put a claim in for him. ATL is an outlier for almost everyone who has faced them, because their defense is terrible.
Starting Winston and Luck in 2QB (sitting Baker, Carr bye), but I have no idea how Luck is getting it done either.
Yes, and Cleveland are 27th in the league in pressuring the QB, so Winston should have a good amount of time to throw, even if the CLE secondary is decent. Mind you, even with time he makes some incredibly bad reads at times.
How exactly is Luck "getting it done"? He's 1-5 and near the bottom of the league in passer rating. He's been passable in fantasy only because he's leading the league in pass attempts. Indianapolis has more than twice as many pass attempts as rushing attempts so far, despite the fact that the running game is working marginally better.
...and in spite of all of that Luck is the 5th best QB in fantasy. Which is probably why he is "astonished Luck is getting it done"... for fantasy
Really? CLE doesn't sack the QB. Didn't know that.
