ffsmack 0 Posted September 2, 2008 I drafted Big Ben figuring he would be my every week starter with Rodgers at backup, but I managed to pick Warner up off the wire. Now that Warner has been named the starter I'm not sure who I wanna go with. What do you guys think? Ben vs Hou Warner @ SF Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
p.man 7 Posted September 2, 2008 I'd go with Warner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreatGray 2 Posted September 2, 2008 This one is a bit tricky. Houston ranked 25th against the pass last year; SF ranked 22nd. Both teams are mediocre agains the run as well. I'm guessing their numbers will be pretty similar this week, but I like Warner's upside due, if nothing else, to his receiving corps. I also think it's likely that Pittsburg goes back to their power-running roots this year. The Cards will be relying more on their passing, the Steelers at least have more options for rushing. Go for Warner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joeunleaded 0 Posted September 3, 2008 OK - here comes the dissenter - are you kidding sitting Big Ben vs Houston to play Warner? Ben is THE QB in PIT - SB winner - strong team around him, solid def, and going against a weak Hou team. Warner JUST got the QB job - he will be mired in QB controversy all year. Got two good WRs, but suspect running game, sorry O-Line, and def is a joke. yes its vs SF, but I think its too much of a risk. I'm only guessing here - could be wrong - but I wouldn't think twice about playing BB. Hope that helps.

ffsmack 0 Posted September 3, 2008 The reason for the debate is even though the Cards want Leinart to live up to his draft position, Warner has been a top fantasy QB with one of the best WR tandems in the league. He was second only to Brady in the 2nd half of last season. Ben is on a solid team, although I hear there are questions about the o-line this year. Ben was a top 6 QB last season though, making this choice a tough one for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plus he threw 300/3 against them in 06. I think we can't go wrong either way this week and Warner is worth the play here. Look at mine please. http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...howtopic=321689 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
