Your too kind. I am finishing up a RB thread to hopefully make it by week's end. I'll PM you an advance draft.

Hey MoP,Just wanted to say thanks for last year. You started these threads on drafting from each position in a serpentine draft and those helped me out a LOT. Are you going to do those again this year?

At least one other person to give some man love to is azcards. I'm a big fan of his stuff, as well as the others previously mentioned in this thread.

It is a statistical impossibility for H.K. to not be the best poster in the Shark Pool.

I've run the numbers. Trust me.

I'm working on the RB WR and QB threads for the moment but I am sure I will start a few draft spot threads too.

Anyone who has lower than a 4 digit member # is someone to take seriously...

Why do you think the staff all have 1 or 2 digits #s.

Radballs is someone I enjoy reading. he might not start huge thread topics like Lhucks and many others but he is great when presented with an idea. He takes it and runs. I find his post concise and to the point.

too many staff & shark pool regulars to list everybody...

favorite staffers are bob henry, doug drinen, jason wood, bloom, the IDP team (norton, culcasi, rudnicki, baker, bramel as well as aforementioned bloom... homer ) and dynasty team (grant, anderson, lammey & pasquino)...

from shark pool, i find who dat very insightful... he did some great dynasty IDP work on the IDP board for those new to the format...

Thanks to those who mentioned me. I get so much from this board, I couldn't begin to name everybody. It's the melding of ideas and the banter that typically accompanies two knowledgable posters taking opposite sides of a viewpoint that provides so much value, IMO.

FWIW, I typically try to stick to Steelers analysis. I feel like I am probably as good with general FF questions as a lot of others, but I watch and dissect every Steelers game, so it's in this arena that I feel like I can bring more to the table than the average Shark Pooler (homers like GB, Ahrn, Frenchy, Memphis Foundry, Bloom, Servo, etc, etc.. notwithstanding) so I tend to focus there. I figure I'm giving the place a little more detailed insight by doing so, but I certainly still like to discuss the merits of other players and general FF theories. There are so many guys on this board that are good with that, I hesitate to start naming people because I'll leave out more than I include.

LHUCKS, I think you're great and all, but that is one emoticon I seriously hope to never see in my lifetime.

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.

I really like it when EBF swims against the stream, too. Especially when he takes Westbrook #4 overall and leaves me with Portis at #5.

I've run the numbers. Trust me.

While this is borderline schtick infringement, the calculations do prove out to be accurate.

FWIW, I consider myself to be the best bipolar poster on these boards.

You're clearly the worst bipolar poster on the boards. And by the worst, I mean the best. And by the best, I mean clearly not the best. In fact, you're probably the worst bipolar poster on the boards.Actually, on second thought, you're the best* bipolar poster on the boards.

I took Westbrook at 1.05. Steven Jackson would've been my pick, but he went at 1.04. Here are the 2005 weekly averages for Westbrook and Portis in our scoring system. Brian Westbrook - 17.9 ppg

Clinton Portis - 16.4 ppg

Here are the 2004 averages:

Brian Westbrook - 20.3 ppg

Clinton Portis - 15.3 ppg

Portis is overrated in PPR leagues. He has minimal bust risk, but unless he pulls a Shaun Alexander and has a crazy TD season, he's unlikely to be a top 5 back in PPR leagues.

 

[EBF]

As far as the Cadillac/Roethlisberger thing goes, I guess I'd say it's a matter of philosophy. Cadillac offers more short-term value, but Roethlisberger should be around longer and is the better NFL player.

Here are the 2004 averages:

Clinton Portis - 15.3 ppg

And here are the number of games played in 2005.Brian Westbrook - 12

Clinton Portis - 16

Here are the 2004 numbers:

Brian Westbrook - 13

Clinton Portis - 15

Westbrook also hasn't scored a TD in the fantasy playoffs since week 15. Of 2003.

Edit: And don't tell me durability shouldn't be a concern, or else I'll pull out my Domanick Davis (pick 2.07) and compare his per-game averages to Westbrook's for you.

Those are fair points, but in a league with starting lineups, I'll gamble on the guys with the big weekly averages. Portis is a nice player, but he hasn't been a "difference maker" type in Washington. Westbrook has been a much better scorer in PPR leagues.

Edit: And don't tell me durability shouldn't be a concern, or else I'll pull out my Domanick Davis (pick 2.07) and compare his per-game averages to Westbrook's for you.

When it comes to Domanick Davis, I'd be worried about more than durability. There's no guarantee that the new coaching staff will be content to give him the ball every other down.
