Fantasy Quarterback?

paintballhead5 · 09-15-2005, 01:10 AM

I have McNabb as my starter but i cant decide who i want as my backup.

I already have Aaron Brooks but i can pick up Carson Palmer.

Should i drop Brooks and pick up Palmer?

One more question. Who should i get for a backup defence, Detroit or Kansas City?

I normally dont make these threads and i really cant decide.

Kansas City for defense, I would drop Brooks and pick up Palmer.

Palmer scored more in the last week than Brooks. But the question is, will he continue to with Cinnci's line?

Yes. T.J. Houshmandzadeh & Chad Johnson > Joe Horn & Az - Zahir Hakim. They will both get sacked about as often, neither one of the teams have outstanding offensive lines. Both teams have good running backs too, so it's not like one team is going to be more favored to pass than the other.

i just checked and carson was sacked twice last week while carolina never got to brooks.

i dont know if that effects ur decision but i just thought id throw it out.

Last year Brooks was sacked over 40 times and Palmer was only sacked 25 times, though Palmer didn't start the season as the number 1 QB (Kitna was only sacked 6 times before he started). Palmer also had a better passer rating.

Very true....I have brooks in one league as my back up to Dante, and he is a solid pick, but I would much rather have Palmer! Cincy has a stronger set up of recievers IMO...

Palmers going to have a huge year and will be a starter on most teams by midseason. And Defenses, if Minn. is available I'd take them over det. or KC. If not, the colts d is suprisingly good this year and could serve you well as a back up.

the titans have a really good defense.......

I have McNabb too with Brees as my backup, I'm not sure who to start. If McNabb gets hit in the chest again in week 2 it could severly affect his passing and he might even get pulled. Brees on the other hand has McCardell and Gates returning in week 2. So I'm having a hard time sitting McNabb, but Brees almost seems like a better start. Help appreciated.

I have Manning and Brady. I just start whoever is facing the weaker team.

They're my #2 most hated team, but I try to keep an unbiased view on the league, and honestly I feel they're defense is overrated, the rookie they drafted Derrick Johnson? is it? I like him, but Kendrell Bell.....no. Surtain? Meh, mediocore. I Eric Warfield, Dexter Mccleon, suck. They caught the Jets on an off day, so its looking like they're going to be better then they are.

Thats absolutly retarded. Manning should be your starter every single week except week 8 unless he gets hurt. Brady will never have a 5 or 6 TD game, Manning has 5 TD games pretty regularly, if you bench Manning for Brady you suck.
