Need Fantasy Advice

by CaliBronco408 on Dec 30, 2011 12:21 PM MST

I made it to my league's superbowl this week and I am at a cross roads for the grand finale. I rode Aaron Rodgers all the way to the top this season, but now with his team not playing for anything this week, he seems to be a weak start. I picked up Carson Palmer as soon as he was traded to the Raiders as a long shot and as a back up QB if anything were to happen to Rodgers. He's been inconsistent/bad at times. So with little faith in Palmer, I scoured the waiver wire and found Josh McCown to be the only serviceable QB worth picking up. I added him to my team before someone else had the chance to. Out of my options, who would you choose with bragging rights for the rest of the year on the line?

Poll

Who should I start, with the championship on the line?

Aaron Rodgers because one of his quarters is better than a full game from those other scrubs

6 votes

Carson Palmer because the Raiders are fighting for their playoff lives

10 votes

Josh McCown because the Bears have nothing to lose and are playing a sorry Minnesota pass defense

3 votes

OTOH

Matt Flynn could be a good waiver wire pickup with Rogers likely to sit

If Flynn plays, it would be less than a full game. Why risk getting one or two quarters out of a mediocre qb when I could get four quarters out of a different mediocre qb.

good thing you didn't go with a mediocre QB like Flynn

480 yards, 6 TD’s.

Palmer

However, I hope he gets sacked 27 times and throws 7 INT’s.

Palmer. Pick up Danius Moore too if you can.

I actually had Moore earlier in the season and he burned me when he didn’t play for a few games and he was taking up roster space. I’ll pass on that guy.

Aaron Rodgers will play all 4 quarters.

You’ll regret not sticking with the roster that brought you to the championship game.

I'm in the same boat

but I picked up Andy Dalton. However, I’m leaning towards playing Rodgers. He’s 5 TDs away from 50 TDs for the season, and though he’s said that records don’t mean much to him, you know it really does. I’d rather get half a game’s worth of Rodgers’ stats, than a full game’s worth of Dalton’s stats (or in your case, McCown). Just my 2 cents, but I’ll be waiting until right before the game to make a final decision. Good luck!

Sorry

all we have for you this week is reality advice.
Hope and pray whoever your new HC is doesn’t re-sign Orton to a new contract. Believe me, you do not want him.

Reality hmmmmmmmmmm, lets not go there:P

The Reality for me is, I don’t have a clue who’ll be our next H.C or O.C and I don’t see many if any to be honest that I’d want. The Chiefs are wasting talent by continually chancing coaches and schemes, for that reason alone I hope we keep R.Crennel and just change the O.C. Do I think Orton is the answer at QB…………….no, but he’s the best option right now. Do I hope we sign him next year……………….. yes, because Orton is a better option than Cassel, but my guess is we keep both unless someone gives us a crazy offer on Cassel. So in the end I guess I’m stuck with whoever they choose, even if I don’t like it.

I’m starting to think some of you guys might be just alittle bit worried, about us having him. Deep down in the back of your minds you see what the possibilities could be if Orton has a complete offense to run, no offense to you guys but Orton IMHO hasn’t had this talented a team to play with. So while he may or may not play to my liking, he’s a better option than 3 in out Cassel.

Some may be worried.

KC has more talent to back Orton than when he was here? Really? Dude your OL is like a strainer it has so many holes. Two things you got right, Crennel is your best bet at HC and Orton is a better option on paper than Cassel. I said on paper. Nobody ever figures in the stat that Orton just doesn’t care. His lackadaisical attitude is so damn frustrating that most of your fanbase will boo him and want him out of town as bad as we did.
