shredhead 21 Posted December 10, 2012 You should have drafted the Seattle defense to go with him. I'll more than likely be moving on despite Rodgers, although I'm anticipating some second half points coming our way! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeK 8 Posted December 10, 2012 I'm feeling your pain, but Rodgers is coming outta hibernation in this half...try to be patient! (that said, I drafted him #1 in my league this year and will also be angling for a RB in 2013.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
juha10 0 Posted December 10, 2012 What a focking stiff Rodgers has been. Guys just flat out sucks this year!!! He has had a couple of big games to make his year stats look good but I would have been better off picking guys up on the ww week to week. I can't believe how bad he has been this year... Not sure if it's all him sucking or Fat McCarthy with his garbage play calling.... Worst pick I have ever made in the first round. Experimented this year as I don't like taking a QB in the first round and after watching this piece of garbage suck all year won't be looking to do it any time soon again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frozenbeernuts 1,652 Posted December 10, 2012 Ok well that is easy to say if you picked in the top 2. If you took McCoy, McFadden, Charles, Mathews, Johnson, Murray you didn't exactly have a weekly star on your hands. All of my teams ended up OK. None of my teams ended up great. I do blame myself a bit for pushing the strategy on here but there are a lot of RB you could have taken that would have left your team scrambling also. If you are like me at all you had almost all late picks. I had one pick at 4th overall in which the best RB I could have drafted early as McCoy. Besides that the RB that I could have taken was Peterson, but no one saw what he did this season coming. So at least I had some decent talent at QB and TE instead of one of the disappointing RB I mentioned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soju808 1 Posted December 10, 2012 Aaron Rodgers hit my bench 2 weeks ago, and I'm not looking back. Only way he ever plays again for me is if Peyton Manning gets injured. Rodgers has been one of the biggest disappointments this year and I'm sure many of his owners lost their playoff game today because of him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TwentyFourSeven 23 Posted December 10, 2012 Stuck with my strategy of RB-RB and I'm loving it. The only thing I hate is deciding between Kaepernick and Palmer every week. It would be nice to have a stud I can just plug in and leave in for the year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I made 4/5 playoffs going QB/TE or WR/TE and just barely missed on the 5th league. I have top or top 3 points in every league (2 10 teamers, 3 12 teamers). I'll probably go RB/TE next year, but it won't be because the strategy failed me this year, it will be because I know enough morons will refuse to touch a QB early on that I can go back to drafting Brees or Rodgers in the 3rd or 4th rounds and still having an edge at the other positions. It's tough to win in fantasy without a top 5 QB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
illini9825 7 Posted December 10, 2012 You still need a lot of luck for this to work out, regardless of the first round selection. Even though Brees failed me, I'd still pick him in the first round given the opportunity over any WR (maybe not Megatron) and most RB's (depending upon draft position). I was rolling before Gronk broke his arm, Harvin lost a foot, and Amendola lost an arm then a foot (tragic). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cruzer 1,992 Posted December 10, 2012 Which is why Freeman will be starting for me this week He's not going to light it up for 385 and 4 tds - but he's very serviable and can get you by. Bcoz I took a qb in the middle rounds I was able to get Megatron, AP, Roddy White, and a few others to do all the dirty work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a very strong team that can cover his poor play week after week.. what I can't control is how lucky every other team has been against me putting up ridiculous points. I also have most points against in that league and finished 5-8 If Rodgers was not a stiff I would not have 5 wins and have scored even more points... In league I traded for him (huge mistake) there are 5 teams all bunched within 40 points at the top of scoring.. I was cruising along until I lost 2 starting RB and Harvin... If this stiff played like he should have I would have been ok. Instead I finished with 9 wins and bounced in the first round because Rodgers s u c k s!!!

I picked late in every league. Highest I got was 5th and I took Megatron in that one, and will miss the playoffs (Dalton as my QB). I also have a Megatron and Peyton combo that should be in after final score tally this week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skinny_Bastard 154 Posted December 10, 2012 So, can we all agree that last year's QB numbers are an anomaly? We are now back to the regular scheduled programs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Da Judge 2 Posted December 10, 2012 Couldn't be happier with my first 2 picks in a 12 team redraft - Calvin Johnson and Marshawn Lynch. I threw out all of the risky RB guys and tried to build around 2 rocks. I'll continue with this strategy... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jgcrawfish 232 Posted December 10, 2012 So, can we all agree that last year's QB numbers are an anomaly? We are now back to the regular scheduled programs. No, we're really not. There still aren't many (any) bell-cow RB's anymore. But Matthew Berry's year of the QB/TE is pretty much dead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

truebigdog 0 Posted December 11, 2012 Seems like a lot of hate is being misdirected to me. Across my three league there are more "took QB early" teams left than those who didn't. QB of teams left, in order of seeding: L1: Rodgers, Brees, Newton, Kaepernick L2: Brees, Brady, Stafford, Ryan L3: Brees, Rodgers, Ryan, Griffin III Roster management during the season is as often important as what you do on draft day. Mine are L1 Rodgers, L2 Ryan, L3 Brees (have been quite lucky this season, but with the way it generally goes for me, I'm sure the wheels will fall off this week) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nyjetsfan 0 Posted December 11, 2012 only needed 23 points from Rodgers win last week and make playoffs. BIG FU to him. took him #4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Serpent 51 Posted December 11, 2012 3/3 to make the playoffs where I took a QB in the 1st round (Brees). 1/2 without the QB (got Peyton in one, who is pretty much taking a QB early most years similar to taking AP--it's a luck pick that worked out). So the only league I didn't make the playoffs is the only league I don't have a top 5 QB at the helm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tanatastic 2,061 Posted December 11, 2012 One of those "Da Bears" type homers, I'm sure. The thing about guys like that guy who says he took Cutler 2nd rnd is they need to be sat down and taught some fantasy math. Even if Cutler was the playing mvp ball this season it would still be a terrible pick in the 2nd rnd. "What! Id die for an MVP in rnd 2! Your a high Noob!" Hush now child, let me teach...Sure your pick worked out but he could have been had at least 2 rnds later, and for absolute sure a whole round later even in chicago. That leaves your 2nd rnd wasted since you could have had a 2nd round rb/wr AND your MVP cutler later. It just puts way more pressure on your 3rd-6th picks to be studs to compensate.

jerryskids 5,206 Posted December 12, 2012 In my ESPN standard league, top 10 QBs: Brady, RG3, Newton, Brees, Peyton, Rodgers, Ryan, Stafford, Luck, Romo. Two rookies weren't going to go high; if you took them as your QB1 you took a big risk. Peyton was a big risk too. Otherwise that list has more or less the top QBs going into the draft (maybe Eli over Romo). Top 10 RBs: AP, Foster, Martin, Lynch, Rice, TRich, Ridley, Charles, Gore, Morris Foster and Rice were the only sure first rounders on the list. McCoy, CJ2K, McFadden were typically first rounders. AP and Charles were hurt and dropped, TRich was hurt and a rookie, Martin was 3rd or 4th round, Lynch 2nd or 3rd, Ridley was late, Morris was late/waiver. I don't see any "sure thing" taking RB vs. QB early. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
