Cajole's QB

Detroit's savior

Anyone interesting in another fantasy league? If so let's set something up (yahoo again I'm guessing)

OVER/UNDER: Peyton Manning starts 8 games

I think the bankruptcy could motivate him to not be a problem. A potential problem could be that all three of your QBs are pretty young, and if TO decides to act up he'll start by screwing with them $:-\$

btw I still like the Russell Wilson pick. The fact that he's competing well against Matt Flynn is a good sign

...plus Braylon Edwards and Kellen Winslow. I say we really fuck shit up and sign Plaxico too.

I'm not sure what's going to happen with this team this year. The Seahawks are normally hard to figure out to begin with but there's so many variables going on right now that it could either be boom or bust. Hell, even the new uniforms are confusing.

I'm kind of excited about seeing Flynn and Wilson play though, Wilson especially. I think that guy can ball.

1. Will Jahvid Best play football this year, or ever again?

The honest and accurate answer is, nobody knows right now. His fate is in the hands of a group of doctors and specialists who have been running him through a gantlet of tests for months.

Nobody wants to give up hope. Nobody wants such a promising career to end this abruptly. But Best isn't dealing with the possibility of walking with a limp when he's older; he's dealing with the possibility of not recognizing loved ones.

It has been more than nine months since Best suffered his second concussion last season. If he's not ready for contact now, after that much time, what's going to change? And, who knows what happens the next time his head gets slammed?

Think about this, too: If he does play and he suffers another brain injury, would you want to be the doctor who cleared him? So far, it is my understanding that lawyers are not part of the process. But you know they are hovering nearby.

From The Detroit News: http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20120808/SPORTS0101/208080328#ixzz22ytIH1y9

This is some sad shit. Yea it sucks his career is likely over for us, but more importantly he's reaching a point where he'll certainly have major problems later in life. Hell, he probably has reached it already.

League has been created; I copied the settings from last year's league and was able to invite PD and Bloodwake from that screen. If you guys don't get the info let me know and I'll just pm it to you. BrandNew, Huff, Awesome-O and Zero Hero, check your pm's. Obviously, if you want in the league get in while the getting is good- as of now we have 3 more spots, but could expand to 12 if we want to. If we can't get 10 by a week before draft day, I'll post the info in the thread.

Also, DRAFT DAY IS SUNDAY, AUGUST 26TH AT 3:45 PM EASTERN TIME. I know this is kind of hypocritical since I missed last year's draft, but DON'T FUCKING MISS IT. That's your first and honestly biggest responsibility of playing in the league. I will try to move the draft back to 5-6 eastern time, but this was as good as I could do for right now.

Rarely do I feel any pity for Jerry Jones but this lawsuit makes the McDonalds Hot Coffee lawsuits almost tolerable.

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/fan-sues-cowboys-burned-buttocks-235557660--nfl.html

"Jennelle Carrillo, of Cleburne, received severe burns to her backside after allegedly sitting on a bench outside Cowboys Stadium." Carillo filed a lawsuit in the District Court of Tarrant County, Texas as a result of injuries allegedly suffered when she sat on a black marble bench outside the stadium before the team's Clue and Silver Scrimmage in August of 2010. Cowboys Stadium, L.P., the Dallas Cowboys Football Club LTD, and one Jerral "Jerry" Wayne Jones are all named as defendants.

Really? We should start disbarring lawyers for taking these cases.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #52 on:** August 21, 2012, 01:37:23 AM »

Hey guys, I'm in a keeper league and would appreciate thoughts on keeping any of these guys. I can keep up to three players I drafted in the 5th round or higher as well as any guys I picked up during the season.

Mike Williams (TB)
Percy Harvin
Tim Tebow
Detroit D
Green Bay D
Jonathan Stewart
Visanthe Shancoe
Brent Celek

I'm considering Celek and Stewart. Thoughts?

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #53 on:** August 21, 2012, 01:45:28 AM »

I'd keep Harvin. He's not consistent but certainly has the potential to get you some huge numbers.

I feel sorry for whoever gets the Lions d. Yea we'll rack up sacks but our secondary is shit and we can't stop the run

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #54 on:** August 21, 2012, 01:46:40 AM »

Where would they count against your picks? ie which round would you lose picks in for keeping those guys? Cause honestly, depending on what else is out there I don't think I'd keep any of em.

Quote

1. Can keep any drafted players after round 4 of last year's draft. If undrafted, can be kept in the last round, next to last round, etc.

2. Keepers cost one round per player earlier than drafted (Draft Peyton Manning in Round 6 this year, keep him in round 5 next, etc.).

3. Can keep as many as three roster positions (ie RB,QB,K,WR,DEF,TE, etc.)

4. Cannot keep same player on same roster for more than 2 seasons (you would have the guy for 3 total if you max out, first year is drafted plus two keeper years).

I was really thinking of not keeping anyone, but just in case someone saw something there that I didn't.

Stewart was round 5. Harvin round 6 and Celek was a free agent.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #56 on:** August 21, 2012, 02:01:03 AM »

I would take a flier on Celek- keeping really late can't hurt.

I wouldn't keep anyone else. Do a lot of research and figure out where you can get really good value for your team in each round and draft accordingly would be my recommendation.

I'm going to make a general to everyone PSA as a Falcons fan- DO NOT BELIEVE THE HYPE ON MATT RYAN. He is not ready to be an elite quarterback. Draft him as such at your own peril, everyone.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #57 on:** August 21, 2012, 02:03:34 AM »

I had Ryan the past two seasons. 2010 he got me to the championship game. 2011 he was mortal.

Not. Buying. It.

I think he is going to be a very good NFL QB that is going to win a shit ton of games over his career (and probably more playoff games than he loses, but never a SB) but will never be a standout fantasy performer.
