I don't see a big difference between Tennessee and ATL QBs in a DC format when both are clearly backups. I guess we'll see. I wasn't ragging on you for taking Ryan. I was just simply trying to say "would you rather have the 15th-17th rated QB as your backup, or the 28th AND 30th"?

Also, when taking Atlanta, NY Jets, Miami, Baltimore, etc. QB's it truly is anyone's guess as to who will be starting by week 5!

Which means (which you did Russ getting Ryan AND Redman) you almost have to get both (or in Baltimore's case all THREE

) to make sure you have a starter there all season.

You are a friend Mark, but all this "weekend warrior" stuff is starting to sound a lot like your "built in excuse" if things don't go well this year.

If you DO well, you will say "even as just a weekend warrior I am a better player!"

And if you DON'T do well, it will be "well I didn't put the time in like other people".

I don't mind "talking shop" and answering some of your depth chart questions, but honestly.....either bring it, or don't.

Not sure what u are talking about here. If I win it's all on me. If I lose it's all on me. Who cares about excuses? Seriously. I'm sure you have an excuse why u were 0-12 last year, but again, who cares besides u (and snake)?

Now u and russ, study up. Can't be making those mistakes come august!

I guess I am in the minority with (ugh) Snake. I LIKE Tarvaris Jackson this year. I have no problem rolling with him as a QB2 or bye week filler. I own him in several leagues already. If his bye week didn't conflict with Carson Palmer's, I would have rostered him in this league too.

Funny, the coach that helped McNabb become a productive QB in Philly, is now the HC in Minny. GREAT OL in MN, nice RBs, upgraded WRs AND GREAT DEF, so hopefully TJ won't be put in a position where he is playing from behind a lot.

[/QUOTE]No, I don't have an excuse as to why I didn't win any championships in the NFFC last year, that is the point.

I was close in many leagues, but I simply didn't "close the deal".

You can say what you want about me, but you aren't ever going to hear excuses coming from my mouth.

Read the tagline

Although I give Snake crap about it, and I don't share Jules' enthusiasm

, I too don't "mind" Tavaris this year.

My biggest problem is that they not only brought in a capable backup in Frerotte, but they also drafted John David Booty (is that his name, I just refer to him as "Booty").

That puts up the "red flag" to me that Tavaris may be on a short leash.

NOW, if Snake would have been agreeing with ME the past two years, we all know he would have a WINNING record.

But, glad Snake is not a sheep...

[/QUOTE]Not sure Booty is the answer to any question.

And, like us fantasy owners, MN wants a "capable backup" on their team...foolish for any NFL not to have one.

Poor TJ, I mean no one is bashing on Aaron Rodgers. GB drafted Brohm AND tried to sign Culpepper. No one is talking red flags for AR. In fact, many fantasy owners are drafting him as their QB1...how many games has he started? How many has he won? And didn't he suffer a season ending injury 2 years ago?

Not trying to bash Rodgers, he is my example. I just find it strange all the hating on TJax compared to some QBs.

[/QUOTE]LOL!!!! That is a typo...OR IS IT!!!!!

Should (or maybe not!) have read: But glad Snake is not a sheep...
