I'm interested in tracking how effective we are as a group in using our QBs.
It is often claimed that a good strategy is to draft 2 or 3 QBs late and play matchups. Personally, I have found QBBC to be difficult, as it is hard to predict when QBs will have their best games. As an example, I had Vick as my main starter last season, and I picked up Romo off the waiver wire when he replaced Bledsoe. From there forward, I think I literally started the lower scoring guy every week. That despite following news, matchups, etc.
So I want to track it in this thread. I'd like to track all situations - strong starters with normal backups and more traditional QBBCs. I'd also welcome thoughts about the costs/benefits of the different situations (e.g., do you have more or less roster spots available for other positions?).
Here is what I suggest. Each person who is interested, make a single post, and edit that post throughout the season. I'll bump the thread each week. But this way we can keep each team's results together for easier analysis.
Of course, I expect everyone to name their starters before the start of each week.
Other suggestions/comments welcome.

Had to pick up Steve McNair a few weeks in and rode him as my stud all season long.
In my dynasty, I have VY and Ben. I consider that QBBCIn a 2 QB start league, I have Kitna and CPep/McCown, Croyle, and Beck I'd like that to be QBBC for the 2nd spot, but Croyle has disappointed. Although I don't have them, if I were to use QBBC with those not in the top 12, I'd want Campbell and Losman. I'll keep track of those 3 situations.Week 1:Ben @ ClevelandKitna, CPep/McCown (no brainer)Campbell vs. Miami
Of course I can look back after the fact and for any given pair see which one scored more points. But I want to see how well people make their decisions about who to start. That is not something I can track without others posting about their decisionmaking *before* the fact.
. Another good call...though not the super-duper performance I was hoping for: Hasselbeck (25) outdid Roethlisberger (13) and Leinart (2). In this league, Hasselbeck was #10. (-7) for the year.
Starting Culpepper against the Lions.Even though it's a 14 man league, we have short benches (4 spots), so there are some decent waiver options as well - Schaub, Garrard and Delhomme. I'm going for the homerun with C-pepp. We'll see if it plays out.

Manning, Palmer, McNabb, Brady, Bulger and Brees are QB1s who start every week. Everyone else = matchups and backups need consideration.

for later.Rough week this week, but may pick up on this Wk 2.
Campbell vs. Miami 
I encourage everyone to judge their results in the way that makes sense to them and post in this thread about it. This is not very scientific but I'm hoping to learn something through the exercise.
