Someone lost because Rodgers can scramble :(
They are, but it's the scoring that makes it a bit skewed.A QB rushing for 40 yards is the equivalent of 100 yards passing. p.s-no, i haven't been beaten this week due to a QB rushing. the concept just dawned on me after watching T.Jackson today.
A QB that scrambled for 40 yards probably had a huge impact on the actual football game. Defenses always have to be on the lookout for him taking off and picking up an easy first down. If anything, it should be worth more than 4 pts to your ff team.
How many QBs passed for at least 100 yards this week? How many rushed for 40 yards?
What do you think is easier for a QB to accomplish - rush for 40 yards or pass for 100? You're undermining your own argument here.
Who do you think had a better game this week. Romo or Tavaris Jackson?as it stands TJax has more points.
B.O.O.H.O.O.Someone lost because Rodgers can scramble
I'm not saying it's easier, i'm just arguing that a few rushing attempts on the ground can easily mask a woeful passing game and i don't think that should be the case.
It would stand to reason that per your fantasy football league rules and scoring system that Jackson is having the better game this week.
The point you're missing is that 40 yards rushing for a QB is not "a few rushing attempts". It's a big accomplishment. I'd be willing to bet that a QB rushing for 40+ yards is FAR more rare than a QB throwing for 300+ yards.
Under what scoring system did TJax outscore Romo? Now you're just making stuff up.
25 yards passing = 1 pointpassing TD = 4 points10 rushing yards = 1 point
OK. Let's change the rulez!
So in addition to traditional minded sports commentators bashing running QBs, running QBs are now getting dissed for scoring purposes in FF as well.
Your scoring system sucks. It's not that a QB rushing gives extra points it's the scoring system. However you should have gone over that before the season started. You have no right or reason to complain now because you just figured out how your league scoring system works.
receiving RB's get to much credit in FF, you can have a woeful running game, yet put 50-70 yards in receptions and all of a sudden you've outscored some traditional RB's who may have put up a much better game on the ground
You can do math.
Just dawned on you? Is this your first year of FF? Most leagues score this way because it is inline with the scoring for other positions. Stick around a few years, you will see why it makes sense.
Kickers on good offenses get too much credit in FF. You can kick seven simple PATs and all of a sudden you've outscored some traditional kickers who may have to put up two 35 yard FGs.
Best post of the threadI highly doubt this just dawned on you, its part of FF....why do you think Vick or even Vinny Young might have been considered starting FF QBs at a point? Because they could RUNI see what youre saying, but theres all kinds of loopholes in rules that make sense, and should stay that way. Receiving RBs is the epitome. I saw Reggie Bush drop ridiculously low in drafts this year, even a couple time in PPR. I think those ppl are complaining like you now
We don't reward them. That is why they have no value in our league. To have value as a QB, you have to be able to play QB. They get nothing until they hit 75 yards rushing. No one likes a QB that can't do his job.
Wow.So do you also make adjustments for the examples posted by j3r3m3y and stewartcjae?? Because they make just as much sense as you.
Draft accordingly.
This is pretty much the predominant scoring system across fantansy football.
