of course. and that is the rub. if he has a 4 or 5 INT game, and gets benched, Nabers wont put up anywhere close to elite stats with Devito. Thats how winston hurts his value. its when hes off the field that Nabers stats will be subpar (by his standards)

I dont disagree, but I wouldnt underestimate the loyalty of management in this case. They drafted Richardson and he was their guy. by replacing him they would have to admit they botched the pick. management does not generally like to admit when they have made a mistake, so I think they will give Richardson every chance to keep his job and prove that he wasnt a bad choice. this is why I think Danny Dimes cant just be slightly better than Richardson to get the starting job. he needs to be significantly better. this is just as much about whether managment will swallow their pride and move on from a guy that they were sure would be their franchise QB. Its not as simple as saying Jones is better. He may be.... but to win the starting job he needs to not only be better.... he needs to be significantly better. Not saying it wont happen. but I'm saying its still Richardsons job to lose until we know otherwise. good news, you can likely get jones for cheap in all formats. so if you believe in him, the cost of betting on him is very low. I may even take a shot myself in my superflex auction league. if he has yet to be declared the starter at the time of my draft, he would probably be the best #4 QB a guy could ask for. lol

at this point there are not a lot of options. Wilson is still unsigned is he not? I"m wondering if they sign Wilson to a 1 or 2 year deal (if wilson is willing) and then try to trade up to draft the next guy. at least with Wilson, they know what they are getting. but I suspect Wilson is holding out for a longer term deal if he can get it. though in this landscape it is hard to see what some teams are likely to do.

agreed. I think its still Richardsons job to lose. but I think the colts are losing patience with him. at the end of the day, they may also need to de-program Danny dimes from his time in New York. whether that takes a month or a year remains to be seen. but if Danny dimes is clearly the better QB in camp, I do think they will consider giving him the job. if its close, I think Richardson retains his job but will go into the season on a short leash. If he starts poorly, he will be quickly replaced

probably. he is the best of the two bad choices. Lets not hold our breath. I'd be surprised if the Giants dont draft or sign one more QB. While Winston will be ok for Nabers stats, he likely wont be good for the team. and if he gets benched like he sometimes does, I do think Nabers stats then take a hit at that time.

well, winston is good enough to get Nabers the ball. There will be INT but there will also be lots of yards and TD. WR dont get punished for INT so if he is the bridge QB it may be ok if you are a Nabers owner

or eat all but a couple mil so he can go elsewhere. but I dont see any team letting them off the hook that way cuz they dont want the distraction either

you think that and I think that. but that doesnt mean they think that. I've seen a lot of nfl teams (including the Jets) do things that are so obviously dumb I can hardly believe they are doing it. while there is a chance that fields is more than a bridge QB, I'd still say the better money play is to plan for him to be a bridge QB for the next kid they draft.

Nabers doesnt do massage, so no risk of that.

if he cant get over that he becomes a career backup. but if he can, he could still be good. Indy has a good line so if he cant get it done there, he cant get it done anywhere

there is also the possibility it broke him as a pro QB too. when your young QB are under fire to this degree, you can sometimes ruin your young prospect this way.

just because they signed fields doesnt mean they are not trying to move up. sometimes a team will sign someone as a backup plan in the event they cannot get the targeted player in the draft. we have seen this before. while I'd say they are less likely to reach for a QB they dont want, I still think if the top QB on the board becomes available in trade or falls to them at the draft table they will go and get their man.

not a bad move. and if the QB situation goes south you will be able to buy back at a far lower price in a year or two. people have a short memory in terms of just how good a player can be when things work the way they should on a team. Just like with Sequon who put up very good rushing numbers in New york behind a terrible line.. He was I think the #1 or #2 player in fantasy one year early in his career. then when the team imploded people seemed to forget he could play. then he goes to Philly and Boom instant success.

I think Rodgers made it clear a couple years back he has no interest in mentoring his replacement. Thats the rub with him. he now says he would but I think for him thats just lip service to get himself on the field.

Flacco can throw the deep ball, so I think Nabers could perform with him at QB. Rodgers too. Rodgers throws too many INT but that doesnt affect the WR numbers. Though I think Flacco is better in the dressing room than Rodgers would be. but both are adequate fillers while developing a young QB. (assuming they draft one)

yeah they need to get WR for this young QB. Though I wouldnt mind seeing a good plug and play O lineman either. if they sign the WR then they could focus on the lineman in one of the first 2 rounds of the draft.

they could have kept Flacco. hes cheaper. possibly better. but that's not the sexy play.

well, there is no doubt they need a QB. but it is also possible that they stand pat. especially if they dont covet the concensus #1 QB on the board. I do suppose it depends on what the price is to move up. if they want the concensus #1 pick at QB they should try to get ahead of cleveland (who also needs a QB) Tennessee needs a QB but I get the distinct feeling they wont take one this year. and they do have enough holes in the lineup where trading back to get extra picks might be the right play for them.

agreed. like I said. any backup in Philly is likely to put up numbers if Barkley gets hurt. I say this because the Philly O line IS that good. As such, the only fantasy value there is as a handcuff to Barkley. so he has value to the Barkley owner. He has no value to anyone else (unless barkley is already injured) but for a barkley owner, hes a must have RB4 handcuff who becomes a RB2 if Barkley is not playing. Nothing more, nothing less.

I actually like the WR there. The offense will actually be balanced with multiple good pass catchers. This actually plays to Jones skillset more as teams cant just double cover his #1 WR. so if he properly goes through his progressions he should put up better numbers. It is not a given that he beats out Richardson. but if it happens, he might be a nice late pick in a superflex format. if your league only starts one QB he will continue to be irrelevant other than maybe a matchup play to cover a bye week or injury.

well, I think the Chargers o line is better than what they have in pittsburgh and the pass game is more dangerous and as a whole the offense less predictable Than in Pittsburgh so you wont have teams stacking the box like they did against Pittsburgh. I predict better YPC with the Chargers than what he provided in Pittsburgh. what I dont know is if he gets less touches or more. My feeling is that there will be another back sharing carries with him and I have no idea what the split is likely to be. so it is too early to project numbers. but I'll commit to the better YPC. I think that is a reality in LA.

That whole offense has been badly mismanaged in New york since they Drafted him and honestly they drafted/signed well regarded O line guys gut they never panned out. I dont think that was a drafting issue, I suspect it was more of a player development issue and possibly a coaching issue. dont get me wrong I still think there are things that he could have done better, but I also think the team didnt give him a reasonable chance to be the best version of himself either. It is now to a point where they may have ruined him as a player but hes still shown flashes from time to time, so I think its a good gamble. if he doesnt win the starting job, he will just be a high priced backup. Realistically I think he throws a more accurate ball than Richardson does but hes not quite as good at running with the ball. That said, the O line there is miles ahead of where the O line was in New York so I suspect hes gonna look better there if he wins the starting job. if he does win the starting Job I'd consider picking him up in my superflex league. I'd probably be able to get him as my QB3. I think he does have the upside where that is potentially a bargain. I fully agree hes boom or bust, but as a QB3 you likely cannot find better upside than what he provides.

part of Danny dimes problem was a bad o line in New York. It wouldnt surprise me to find out he can actually perform better in this offense. The only question is, is that good enough? That still remains to be seen.

well, he has a skillset that Naj does not. hed be a nice compliment (if healthy) but whether they re sign would largely depend on where Vidal is in his development. if management feels he is ready to play more, maybe they bypass Dobbins. they could also draft someone. its supposed to be a deep draft at RB. they wouldnt even need to use a first rounder. though I think another WR wouldnt be a bad call. or a playmaker on D

no but Wilson is smart enough to know where his bread is buttered. He still throws a pretty good deep ball from what I understand so DK would do ok there if Wilson were the QB. but Rodgers is the same. he also throws a pretty good deep ball. the ability to stretch the field with the two wideouts will also open up the run game. and any attempt to double cover one of the wideouts leaves the other one with single coverage. this could be a real nice offense if everyone can actually get along.
