Where to place Peyton? (1 Viewer)

[Jubay]

In 2008 Manning missed the entire preseason. He caught on fire at the mid point in the season and still finished the season with over 4k yards, and 27 TD's. But he was not in the elite 5 QB's at that time and fell below the likes of Jay Cutler and Kurt Warner. My question is where do you rank him this year with a deep pool of elite qb's? I have him ranked below: Rodgers, Brady, Vick, Rivers, Brees even Romo. Is Manning ranked at or around Matty Ice this year? What do you guys think, I may be reading into this too much.

My draft was last night (10 team) and he went top of the 5th round, last of the "elite" 7:

1. Brady

2. Brees

3. Vick

4. Rodgers

5. Rivers

6. Romo

7. P Manning

I took Romo in the 4th. Considered Manning there, but decided Romo could have just as good a year.

Wouldn't touch him with a ten foot stick.

This from a fan, and someone who has taken Manning #1 overall in the past.

Would. not. touch.

My PPR redraft just finished. I felt forced to take him at 6.07 when Matty Ice went the pick before. I took Flacco later and will just deal with starting him if Manning can't go week 1.

I like this move. You will need a good backup to fill in for the first month, but you are getting a top QB for a low price. It is all about the playoffs.

Which late-round QB has a nice early schedule that could anchor your team when/if Peyton misses a few games?

I will take him in the 5th if he falls to me for sure. I would love to pair him with Stafford before he goes down again.

Take a look at Matt Cassel.

Have my keeper draft next weekend and am sitting at the #2 spot and needing a QB. Peyton owner finally dropped him after keeping him the past 2 years, but I don't even know if I will touch him at #2. Romo, Vick, and Manning are all available, and I think I will take Romo over the other 2 (Vick was only QB5 in PPG last season, wierd scoring that does not fit him well...)

Manning has been the #1 overall scorer the past 2 seasons (1 point per completion), but I just don't think I can take the risk.
