P.I. 0 Posted September 23, 2012 i have a bad feeling this week. the cardinals defense looking good. I am probably giving Vick a spot on my bench this week in favor of Big Ben. What are you doing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jerryskids 5,207 Posted September 23, 2012 Ugh... I currently have him in over Cutler, subject to change. I'm a Cards fan so it makes it particularly hard. I may leave him in as one of those "can't lose" situations where I'd rather my "real" team do well vs. my fantasy team, so I'm hedging my bets. They played last year; Vick got about 150 yards with 2 INTs and 5 sacks. Maclin out, some changes on the line... hold on, I need to go change my lineup.

shorepatrol 1,737 Posted September 23, 2012 I'm starting AZ's DEF.........and Vick. He'll turn it over but put up points at the same time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gepetto 988 Posted September 23, 2012 I'm starting Vick in all my leagues. I don't even think about it. Vick starts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bobbyn2022 53 Posted September 23, 2012 It's the Cardinals...Vick should light them up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jerryskids 5,207 Posted September 23, 2012 It's the Cardinals...Vick should light them up. Is that based on his performance last year against them, his 9 turnovers in two games this year, Maclin being out, or the game being in AZ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pee-diddy 27 Posted September 23, 2012 I started Vick over Eli this week b/c Nicks was out (and now Maclin's out! LOL). I agree w/ the above owners in that as long as Vick is healthy he is a certified starter. He can get U a win any given week IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bobbyn2022 53 Posted September 23, 2012 Jerry It's the Cardinals they suck...A. Wilson might not play. Vick can still run and at the end of the day it's the Cardinals. One of the worst teams in the NFL. Did I mention it's the Cardinals? Anyway Vicks a beast when healthy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheShoe1010 1 Posted September 23, 2012 I don't really love Vick this week, but at this point he's a much better option than Bradford against CHI. I think the great thing about Vick is the points he gets you on the ground cancel out his turnovers (most of the time), so he has a lot lower floor than most other QB's, even against good defenses. Like others have said, if you drafted Vick he's probably your week-in week-out starter unless he's banged up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or do you spend all of your time making baseless one liner responses?? I have Vick in my lineup every week unless he is out but...the Arizona D is arguably top 5 this year.

Bills04 46 Posted September 23, 2012 I'm rolling with Stafford over Vick - even though Stafford's been awful this year, and Vick is the QB3 through 2 weeks... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Franknbeans 46 Posted September 23, 2012 I read somewhere that Vick hasn't thrown a TD pass in his last 66 attempts against the Cards. Bad matchup, I'm starting Ben. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bruce Benedict 0 Posted September 23, 2012 Would you start him over Rivers? I would think long and hard about whether to start him or Brady, Rodgers, or Brees. Maybe RG3 enters that conversation soon. Every other QB in football is an autobench as long as Vick makes it to the field. Is this a dream matchup for him? No. Neither was the Ravens. You don't play or bench Vick based on matchups. You play him because even against bad matchups, he has the chance to give you 30+ points any given week.

MDC 5,893 Posted September 23, 2012 I read somewhere that Vick hasn't thrown a TD pass in his last 66 attempts against the Cards. Bad matchup, I'm starting Ben. All 66 attempts were probably in the last game knowing Andy Reid. I have no other options so I have to start Vick. It's a bad matchup because Zona is a good D and the Eagles OL is really banged up. I'm also wary of dome teams playing at home. Even so ... Vick passed for almost 400 yards and 2 TDs against the Ravens and with his running ability he can put up points on anyone. Unless you have a real valuable backup I don't think you can bench him against anyone while he's healthy. I hedged my bets with the Cards D but only cause my other option was Cincy vs. the Skins, no thanks on that one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bruce Benedict 0 Posted September 24, 2012 Blech. Sorry to anyone I may have convinced to start Vick in that turd of a performance yesterday. I still think it was the wisest play, given what we knew heading in, but perhaps my wisdom is worth fock all given how it turned out. Mea culpa. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did you know the Cardinals have won 11 of their last 13 games? ESPN is not your friend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
