Why do I keep starting Cutler over Rodgers?

[Lesman 1]

Thanks to the rushing TDs, Rogers has outscored Cutler every week, except week 2, yet I keep starting Cutler. Over the last 2 weeks alone, I've left 40 points on my bench by sticking with Cutler. Granted the shoulder injury was a concern the last couple weeks, but not anymore. Mr. Rogers, meet my starting lineup. Mr. Cutler, meet my bench.

 

Now watch Cutler lightup the Pats next Monday night...

maybe this is why, but I am not sure why you make certain decisions.

Welcome to FF.

 

A good analogy of picking the right matchup is like driving in traffic. No telling which lane will be the fastest so you might as well pick one and stick with it. You could always trade one to improve another position and eliminate the decision altogether.

 

This week I had a gut feeling Schaub would outperform Warner but didn't act on it. Left 13 points on the board but knew Warner was good for at least 20+.

Huh?

 

Depending on passing TD values being 4 point or 6 point, and assuming -2 for turnovers:

 

Week 1

Cutler 300 yards passing 2 TDs 9 rushing = 20.90 or 24.90

Rogers 178 yards passing 1 TD 35 rushing 1 TD = 20.62 or 22.62

 

Week 2

Cutler 350 yards passing 4 TDs 1 INT 6 rushing = 30.60 or 38.60

Rogers 328 yards passing 3 TDd 25 rushing = 25.62 or 31.62

 

Week 3

Cutler 264 yards passing 2 TDs 1 INT 7 rushing = 17.26 or 21.26

Rogers 290 yards passing 0 TD 35 rushing 1 TD = 18.60 or 20.60

 

Week 4

Cutler 361 yards passing 1 TDs 2 INT 6 rushing = 15.04 or 17.04

Rogers 165 yards passing 2 TDs 3 INT 8 rushing = 9.40 or 13.40

 

I guess I don't understand your scoring system...in my leagues Cutler outscored Rogers in 3 of the first 4 games...Week 3 was a wash depending on the settings.

Our league scoring is a little quarky. I guess I should have embellished, but I was really just venting. Any TD outside of a player primary responsibility are double. QB gets 6 for a pass TD, but 12 for a rush TD. as does a RB get 6 for a rush TD, but 12 for a rec TD. Add in a +3 point bonus for TDs over 40yds. Rewards versatility. Minus 1 per INT/Fumble.

 

In my league:

Week1

Rodgers - 31pts

Cutler - 31pts

 

Week2

Rodgers - 36

Cutler - 43

 

Week3

Rodgers - 28pts

Cutler - 24

 

Week4

Rodgers - 22

Cutler - 22

 

Week5

Rodgers - 36pts

Cutler - 18

 

Week6

Rodgers - 39

Cutler - 22

 

Maybe I jumped to conclusions. It;s not that bad, as weeks 1 & 4 were a wash. Still Rodgers has been huge the last 2 weeks, and teams seem to have figured out how to slow down Cutler and Co. by doubling Marshall. I'll see how Royal and Scheffler are next week before making a decision.

Probably for some of the same reasons I keep starting McNabb over Rodgers...because you don't fully trust Rodgers yet he continually outscores your starter every single week.

 

I think I'll be starting Rodgers until further notice.

I've been starting Warner over him too... but NOT THIS WEEK!
