It's about that time again, right?

Peyton Hillis wins comeback player of the year putting up 1,500 total yards and 12 TDs.

Terrelle Pryor is the starting QB for the Oakland Raiders by Thanksgiving.

Drew Brees will throw for a career high number of interceptions (even more than the 22 of 2010)

There's 3 to get us started.

I believe you're looking for the "Bad Prediction Thread" :D

I suspect you wouldn't have started this thread yet if you hadn't already drafted? I hope it stays pretty quiet til Sunday morning. :roll:

Sorry Mike...this thread was posted long before this date last year. But you're right. based on my post Hilis is now gonna go as RB1 at the bottom of round 2 and Brees is available at the 6/7 turn.

I realize it started earlier last year. But the new 2nd weekend drafts were a late addition. I can't say for sure, but I'd guess last year's thread was started before we knew about weekend #2.

Not looking to start a war. And I do understand the desire to finally let your cats outta the bag after a long wait. Just sayin' - a lot of us still have $3k+ on the line this weekend. One of the downsides to a multiweekend national event, I guess.

Understood and i only have one of the 3 players I mentioned and then in only 2 of my drafts.

By the way I would think the in-depth statistical analysis you have posted over the last couple of months would give people a far bigger insight than my three throw away, slightly tongue in cheek, predictions. ;)

I'm really not trying to be combative Matt. And I should've been more explicit: I'm not upset with your lone post, but just would hope the thread doesn't catch fire with a bunch more - most all likely from people who have already drafted. But we both know that there's sort of an unofficial quiet period right around drafts. I doubt you would've started this or that others would contribute right before THEIR drafts.

That's about as humbly and politely a request I can make. Thanks.

Before I'm called a hypocrite and in hindsight, I guess it took being on the other side of this fence for me to realize how this might be received by 2nd weekend drafters. Last year, the similar thread was started before the second weekend drafts too - and I even chimed in a little. :oops:

I'm probably just being paranoid from waiting so long for our mains.
