traders2001 0 Posted September 6, 2008 Dang...after five years, a couple hundred articles, and a few online publications all it took was an article where the purpose of it is to do some speculation for me to finally be exposed as the hack that I am. I guess I should be lumped in the same group as professional wrestlers, Carlos Mencia, and the telephone psychic with the phony Jamaican accent! Congratulations, John Stossel, you've done it again! And to think I was able to fool everyone for this long....I better call up my uncle in the fantasy sports industry and see if he has any connections in fantasy bass fishing, because the football gig is up. I am impressed , you have better connections then i tought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Moss will still outperform Megatron...Roy Williams gonna vulture TDs from CJ, where as Cassel will be looking for Moss in the endzone all day. I see Moss going 85 1250 15tds Very similar to TO numbers last year CJ 80 rec 1100 7 tds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robertd52 0 Posted September 17, 2008 This prediction was made before the Brady injury as was my Moss projected stats. IMO the prediction is garbage now that brady is out, because after the second week looks like Chris Chambers will outperform moss ....your predicted moss stats above were from 1 week ago...AFTER Brady was down for the year. The BIG difference is that Cassel came in and chucked a TD to moss in the back of the endzone, so you felt bold enough that Moss would still produce decent #s, and then drastically undersold what "Megatrons" #s would be. Now, after week 2, Moss has a low week (prob lowest he will have all year if he stays healthy), and CJ blows up, and now your making false claims about when you made what predictions? Man...they time stamp stuff around here... You know...all you really have to say is "huh, go figure, as of this moment it seems like CJ in fact may have a chance of out producing Moss this year....BUT, its week 2, so lets not "crown his ass" until the year is over" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wiffleball 4,696 Posted September 17, 2008 The Matt Waldman article was titled "Bold Predictions" not "Solid Lock of the Year" Wildman has supplied many of us with GREAT FF insight and is one of the best in this business. Calvin Johnson has the talent to be the next Rice / Moss type of WR, time will tell if the Lions will drag him down too much to allow this to happen. Shaq: "TELL ME HOW MATT'S ASS TASTES!! TELL ME HOW MATT'S ASS TASTES!!" He's no soiloist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BDuncan 3 Posted September 17, 2008 My prediction: Moss has another diva blowup because he doesn't respect his QB, goes through the motions for the rest of the season after the blowup. (Sound familiar?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

madd futher mucker 36 Posted December 19, 2008 I've been playing FF for over 13 years and never heard of this guy..... then again, I don't read FF magazines. If you need to read those FF magazines to win in FF, then you need some serious help. and I agree, Waldman needs to put the pipe down. EARTH TO SEADOG: Matt Waldman writes (and opines) for more than FF magazines. His wisdom, especially his Rookie Scouting Portfolio, is quoted or referred to by virtually ALL competing fantasy sites. I'd say he is considered one of the top dozen fantasy football minds by most people who know fantasy football. I'd like to ask where you DO get your fantasy football info to guide you in your fantasy football decisions. One thing about this forum. Since everyone can (and does) express their opinion on any FF topic here, there is a LOT of poor advice expressed off-the-cuff without any depth of thought that I do not take seriously. But anything that Matt Waldman writes - even his 'bold predictions', whether here as 'Wildman' or his formal articles regardless of where they are published, I DO take seriously - I may not agree with him on everything, but I acknowledge he knows a hell of a lot more about all aspects of FF than I'll ever know. So if you've been playing FF for 13 years and have never HEARD of him, your FF education is still at the beginner level. Note to Waldman: Now that I've sufficiently given you your props, put down the pipe, you hack, or at least share a little of what you're smokin' with me.

De Novo 0 Posted December 19, 2008 It's nice you play with retards Dude, Calvin Johnson in the 5th round of a 10-teamer was probably his ADP. Hindsight must be 20/20 for you. Hell, I got him in the 6th of a 10-teamer. There were 20 WRs on draft day that could have been reasonably predicted to end the season as the #1 WR. And there were about 5 QBs who'd be taken ahead of him, and at least 20 RBs, 2 or 3 TEs, and so if he was around the 15th to 20th WR taken, that puts him in the 5th round. Let me guess, people who drafted Steve Slaton and Chris Johnson outside the 1st 3 rounds play with idiots too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xenophobe 1 Posted December 19, 2008 It was pretty much a lock when Brady went down. 16 games with Brady and Moss probably has the better season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As painful as this is to say, 16 games with a healthy Kitna and Calvins #s are prob a lot better too.... I betcha feel real freakin smart now huh...."MR Waldman"?

I hope you are not arguing the loss of Kitna compares to Brady. Kitna was on his way out even before getting injured. The impact is not even remotly comparable. Not only did the loss of Brady significantly downgrade the QB position, NE vastly revamped their offensive game planning for significant portions of the season which may have been the biggest blow to Randy's numbers. Cassel was way off on the deep ball for much of the season, and NE merely looked to dink and dunk for stretches -even had nearly 70 attempts in a game where he hardly looked Randy's way. Detroit never stopped trying to feed the ball to Calvin, regardless of who was in there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
