49er Fan

"Winfield and Clements are their current teams defensive MVP's" No no no no no no no way. It's Patrick Willis for the 49ers. I could agree with Winfield at this time because the Vikes' normal MVP, middle linebacker E.J. Henderson, is out for the season and Winfield is a surprisingly adept tackling cornerback.

"JEFF GARCIA SUCKS. He isn't even the starter in Buc land anymore." I don't know where you're getting the idea that Garcia sucks. He threw for huge yardage ('00: 4,278), and 30+ TDs ('00, '01) with the 49ers early in his career. He led the Eagles to the NFC East crown in '06 with 5 straight wins to end the season after McNabb went down. Last year he led the Bucs to the NFC South crown and lost to Super Bowl champs NYG in the playoffs. Garcia's not the starter at TB right now because Tampa Bay head coach John Gruden is an idiot, and holds a personal grudge of some sort against him. When ever in this league have you seen a Pro-Bowl QB benched after Week 1, in a game where the starter didn't even play that badly (24-41, 221, 1 TD, 1 INT)? And Garcia kept TB in the game this week against Denver after Griese went out in the third quarter, leading the Bucs on a 13-play, 90-yard drive to cut Denver’s lead to 16-13 with 2:02 left in the game. Gruden will most likely start Garcia next week - reluctantly - despite the fact that he hates him.

"People forget how the humble the Bills fans were during those SB years." Trust me, your fans were not humble. The Bills fans I encountered in college (upstate NY) from '90-'93 are the reason I hate the Bills. No fans are humble when their team is winning.

"Tebow is in Urban Meyer's system. Alex Smith was a great QB in Urban Meyer's system. By the way, how's it working out for that guy in San Fran?" Yes, well. Smith is NOwhere the athlete Tebow is, and Smith was able to run Meyer's offense against WAC teams, not the SEC. I was disgusted when the 49ers picked Smith but that was a really thin year at QB in the college ranks and they needed one. I think Tebow could be a pretty good pro. Maybe a notch below Rothelisberger. It will be interesting to see how he does for the Gators this year with a weaker receiving corps and Percy Harvin banged up. I thought teams were game-planning for Tebow way too much last year, even to the point of run-blitzing up the middle. If I were a def. coordinator I would just try to cover Florida's WRs as best I could and see how he does in the pocket once the DEs get something going on the outside. His strength is running up the middle on set plays, not scrambling out of trouble.

Cooley?

Those are solid teams...but you really waited on QB. I would not be 100% confident in any week with any of the four that you drafted. Garrard is not going to throw only 3 picks again this year. 12 completions for 150 yards and MAYBE a TD is a "good" game for him. He simply has very little potential to light it up. Schaub barely proved himself last year for Houston. He's going to get sacked, fumble, and picked off a ton. Edwards might do ok for you, but the winter games at home will not be kind to his numbers. And Kitna, although he threw for 4000+ again last year, had low TDs (18) and has thrown more INTs than TDs in his last 2 years.

I definitely like your team except for your first two picks. I am not sold on Barber as a top back (that high), and I never take a QB that early, even Brady or Manning. Still, Maroney in the 8th is pretty unbelievable and Winslow could prove to be your anchor for consistent points week-to-week. And Eagles and Saints defenses.....you'll be dropping both of those at some point. Check out Denver.

Ahh sorry buddy. My staple 10-year $150 league commish drew me back in for another year after promising to pay me my last year's second place winnings - 3 leagues is already too many. But what's your league format - #of teams....1 or 2 QBs...standard Yahoo!?

Yes, but limo costs do add up - any decent one is going to cost at least $100/hour. If you're going out all the time, it can easily run up tabs of thousands of dollars per week. That may not seem much to someone really rich, but that same person might also be paying $4,000 per month for the $200,000 Bentley in the garage. No one is going to pay that much for a car and not drive it. Cars are status symbols and celebrities want to be seen in them.

Hardy is a great pick; I actually thought the 49ers were going to take him.
