and 25% conference affiliation.75% schtick
:hijackoff:The guys that have been selected by Dodds and the FBG staff in the Staff v. Messagebaord challenges over the past couple of years are where I'd start.
Dodds and Bryant are forking over cash and subscriptions to them for a reason...it's not because they want less revenue.

Unfortunately, it is not that easy. There are many guys on this board who have areas where they are pretty sharp some stats guys, some experts on teams, some great at college/rookie talent, etc., with only a handful of really good "generalists." Probably, need to narrow down what you are looking for and then some of us can give you better directions.

Aside from the usual, I like this guy Musesboy. I dont think Ive ever noticed his posts before this season, but he's posted in alot of player spotlights this year with his projections, and he backs them up with solid reasoning and well thought out commentary.
Keep it up, bro. I enjoy reading your posts.

It's tough to give easy answers, though you've gotten some decent ones above this post. There are a lot of people who excel at knowing one particular area, and it just takes time and reading to figure out who they are. To give one example, if you want to know something about the Baltimore Ravens, watch for posts by ravnzfan, who knows as much or more about them as anyone on the board.

Tick and EBF....bar none...read everything and anything they post as another tool as good as DD.
Re-Draft - GregR, MOP (where are you?), Aaron Ru..(how ever the hell you spell his name), Mark Levin. DD (Dodds), Mark "I try not be but I am slanted to the Chargers" Tremblay (can't spell his name either), JURB some number or other, Yudkin, RadBalls (except I've kicked his a&& enough times in $$$ leagues that he sometimes makes me LOL). I like diesel79something or another lately, and I would warn you not to ignore JOE T or JOFFER. Hate the team he loves, but Pony Boy is VERY consistent and solid with the Broncos and other NFL news. Mussboy is on the rise. JAA and his girlfriend have a serious market cornered on the true nature of injuries (you gonna marry her or what dude?) I might be confussing JAA with someone else,
I'm pretty sure I'm not though
This is all from a guy that doesn't post alot and respects the analysers (could be spelled wrong)number crunchers and values the "gut feel" NFL freek veteran FF guys on this site. I love to utilize the knowledge and arguments of cheatsh....errr football guys and use it with my own knowledge of football. There are plenty more but the guys above are must reads for me.
Of course JB, but he seems to be laying low and running the business side of things more and more the past 3 years. I still love his guy with a beer and big screen, NFL Ticket insight/observations every week. Who doesn't at least scroll down to the quote of the day every email?

I mainly lurk in the SP - mostly 'cause I 
to the sheer talent and knowledge of the crew that comes in here hard all year round. Be warned that around August 1st the more casual FF players will come in and restart some discussions (or fights, as the case may be) that have been "settled" previously. With that, some of the more serious, deep-down FF and NFL will go dark until after the season.Along with those mentioned previously, I'd add Evilgrin72 (a brother in the
fraternity), Family Matters and Iwannabeacowboybaby.

I've been around here longer than anyone but David and Joe(at least it seems that way). I dont really contribute to much to the fantasy strategy type threads, as I dont play the type of FF that most people play.Dyansty

If you need advice about history, the NFL, contracts, rules, projections, or anything else that isnt about a draft/auction league, I can certainly help you out.

there's a bunch that I always find insightful. Wood, bob magow?? (forget his exact name has good info on st louis), SSOG is the denver guy, maurile/gold plated are good for chargers info, jurb is good, there are enough good Steeler posters to start their own board - evil, godsbro, etc., Yudkin always puts good stats behind his arguments, as someone mentioned Museboy has been detailed (and I feel spot on most of the time) in the spotlights, LHUCKs is always solid, there's really a ton. Really most on the board are good which makes it such a good board for info..
You should have phrased your question the other way, which should I avoid/ignore? that list would be much smaller but there would definitely be a few common names on there IMO....

I like reading posts by Doug Drinen and Maurile Tremblay.
Also like reading Chaos Commish's posts.
Mostly you have to judge an individual post by its merits though. Even rock solid guys get elements of bias and homerism to them.

That's nice to read. I am a junky for the college guys and the nfl draft. I went out of my way to share my thoughts this year, but after that, I rely on many others around here for solid information and FF strategy. I think the IDP Staff is almost over the top with how thorough and good they are, and special mention goes to Bramel. He's rock solid.
bagger should get props for his VBD stuff. Eye opening stuff that's definitely made me a better drafter.
Marc Levin
Hangs out with Oscar Zeta Acosta
Sigmund is now a staff member. Most of the guys I like have been covered, not sure if these guys have or have not been mentioned:
In the pool, I ALWAYS stop and read posts by Knowledge Reins Supreme.
radballs usually has good insight.
i like diesel 7982's posts (but that's mainly b/c he's got my old board handle in his sig. LOL)
and Family Matters has well thought out, and well backed up, posts - him is smart S-M-R-T.
EBF and I don't usually see eye to eye, but he is excellent at backing up his argument with stats and theory, and he never goes low in arguments - which is extremely respectable and rare on the boards.
From the staff, I read almost everything we post in the pool, but I really like Chris Smith's stuff (fellow 'phin geek, so I'm partial to his work LOL!),
David Yudkin's the Man
Aaron Ruds (whenever he posts in the pool, that is)
and Jason Wood (but he and I rarely seem to be involved in the same threads anymore)

So you value jokes and sarcasm over actual insight?

EBF has that rare thing, which is the courage to swim completely against the tide of popular opinion. I actually think he's wrong more often than not, but he isn't afraid to be in a minority of one (see here where he argues that Roethlisberger has a higher dynasty value than Cadillac). I sometimes think he rather delights in taking such contrarian stances.
Marc Levin

maybe - but he has some VERY good statistics that support almost all his arguments.
Portis 26
Madden Freak
The fact that he is smart in his use of selective statistics doesn't mean his arguments are right.
You can use all the statistics you want to argue that a QB like Roethlisberger is more valuable than Cadillac in a dynasty league, but I would bet that 95%+ of dynasty league owners would disagree - and they'd be right.Let me balance this by defending EBF a little.The prevailing consensus on this board is basically firmly in favor of RBs. That tends to be reflected in shark mocks and real drafts, where RBs will often be 9 or 10 of the first 12 players, or as many as 20 of the first 24 players.What EBF has done is to challenge this consensus and to say, hey, QBs are just as valuable - or even more so.Now, that is a refreshing perspective, and it can be true - but only up to a point.For example, it is certainly true that QBs can be extremely valuable, but only really if they have career years like Manning and C-Pep did a couple of years ago. Otherwise you are better off drafting RBs early and QBs later, as most on this board believe.So while EBF is sort of right, he is only partially so - and he then proceeds to take his good idea rather too far by elevating the worth of QBs way above what they should realistically be.

Taking it too far 
Alternate viewpoints should always be encouraged. I like someone who flies in the face of conventional rankings / projections / thought. Agree or disagree, it makes you think about why you have said player(s) where you do and forces you to evaluate him harder.
However, doing it for argument sake or taking it too far would discredit your opinion.
I'm not saying EBF is too extreme - quite the contrary - but some thoughts should really just stay between you and the voices in your head.

Agreed, I don't post alot here.. But I'm a regular poster on another forum (no quality posts tho), and I know and enjoy Muses posts there. The guy is rock solidAside from the usual, I like this guy Musesboy.
