Starting the GB D this week with confidence (1 Viewer)

[jurb26]

So, I wanted to see who else was with me. I'm starting the GB D with confidence this week as they travel to Car to take on the Panthers and Cam Newton. Prior to last week I think this position would have been a no brainer, GB vs. a rookie QB. However, given Newton's amount of success last week I'm thinking many are now gun shy. Not me. I think GB makes the rookie look like, a rookie. This isn't the Arz D. They will create more pressure w/o having to sell out with blitz and will use more complex coverage schemes to force mistakes. I expect big time points.

The End.Don't over-think it. If Newton has success this week, he'll officially be the greatest QB ever.

But

If the Panthers actually have the worst defense in the league, and the Packers are up 50 to 0 in the first half. None of the Packer starting defenders will be playing in the 2nd half. They won't care if Cam throws 3 TDs and 400 yds. They only care about winning the game.

FWIW

Including preseason stats Cam has 1 INT no fumbles in 94 pass attempts. That is a 1.06 percentage based on attempts.

Comparison wise that is better than everyone in the league last year. Brady is closest with 1.42%.

I drafted GB so I could start them every week with confidence.

I'd put the GB Def out there every week...with the secondary, ability to accumulate sacks, and special teams with Cobb...don't you start them regardless??? I got 11 pts out of them versus New Orleans...I take that anytime

benching them is not a consideration. Newton had a great team but it was against AZ that was completely selling out vs. the run. GB>>>>>AZ defense and they'll mix it up a bit and give the rook a bunch of looks he's never seen before. No brainer.

This is what I'm hoping. Fantasy ain't reality. In fact, it's the opposite.
