You all still think I should start Cousins over Brees tonight?

 

[EvilYoda]

I'm starting Cousins over Kaepernik...don't know if it's the right choice but Cousins is looking pretty good so far and both he and Kap are playing shitty Ds. His 27 point performance last week (he was on my bench) makes me think he might actually be the real thing.

 

[MisterJackson]

God, I feel dirty asking this, but start Eli over Brady???

For fantasy purposes, never trust Eli. Never ever. Especially not in Thursday games. But also never. You would be rich if you could predict his good games.

EDIT: ... and Eli is already making me look like an idiot

 

[MisterJackson]

I couldn't do. It's bad when your QB situation is a choice between a pile of shit and a pile of shit with a hot wife

 

[vi edit]

So if Brady says he'll retire when he sucks...can we get a definition of "suck"?

Because he's pretty shitty this year. He's being outscored by the likes of Geno Smith, EJ Manuel, Ryan Tannehill, Alex Smith, Brian Hoyer, Austin Davis...Jake Fucking Locker.

Uhg. What a terrible year for him.

It's been 3 games. Seriously, sometimes shit takes a bit to click with new WRs.

 

[slayer202]

he was a lot better last year once gronk got back. full gronk should help a bit

I don't think it's really a WR issue. He's just slow and indecisive in the pocket any more. The O line isn't great and he's just looking very uncomfortable back there.

 

[EvilYoda]

Really glad I started Cousins. LOL.

Also have the Giants' Donnell on the bench, but it'd be hard to play him over Graham.

Wow, 3rd TD for Donnell. He's killing it for me in the ATOT money league.

 

[EvilYoda]

Heh...he's having a great game. I'm just glad I won't have to scramble for a TE on Graham's bye week.

 

[MisterJackson]

Man, I clicked on submit for putting in Eli over Brady at 8:24 and stupid ESPN made me relog in again. By the time I put in password and logged back in, it wouldn't allow me to start Eli over Brady. Ah well. Brady will have a seven TD game Monday, right?...right??? haha

 

[KLin]

Thanks a lot Kirk, you fuckfaceitis infected fuckstick.

Like who? All receivers not named LaFell are not "new", he had an entire season with them last year.

 

[SP33Demon]

NYG defense is a lot better than Philly; who else could you have started? 1 lucky game doesn't crown Cousins a stud. They interviewed him tonight and he still said "It's Robert's team". I wanted to yell, no it's not you fucking moron - take control of the team and stop trying to deflect from the fact that you need to own that position, nobody will be talking about RG3 in a year from now. Cousins simply doesn't have the mentality of a starter, hopefully he grows some nuts and takes over that locker room.

Peyton is my other QB on bye this week. I could have picked up alex smith or ej manuel. lol

 

[dougp]

Dobson and Thompkins are both constantly injured, and still don't have chemistry with him. He has Edelman, Gronk and Vereen as the only apparent receivers who are capable right now.

 

[Connoisseur]

Glad I picked up Eli as peytons bye week replacement. Too bad about rashad tho.

 

[dougp]

What happened to Rashad? Must have missed something.

 

[kstu]

Nothing happened, just game flow. Gave him some rest after 36 touches last week and wanted to see what the rookie had when the game was out of reach. He also dropped a walk in touchdown that would have saved his fantasy line.

 

[SP33Demon]

Wow, yeah I don't blame you for starting Cousins. He had a good projection since it was at home but NYG's D is sneaky underrated good.

Maybe. On the plus side, Brady subjectively grades out at PFF +2.0 on the year, good for 12th. However, that is misleading because his objective PFF Accuracy % (((Completions + Drops) / (Attempts - Throw Aways - Spikes - Batted Passes - Hit As Thrown)) is #31 in the league, even after giving him a pass on dropped balls (only 1), TAs (3), Spikes (0), Batted Passes (1), and Hit as Thrown (5 times) = 65.1% accuracy. Even Locker is higher (65.3) and Henne (66.2). That tells me people are giving him a pass when they shouldn't. He's simply been awful.

It's been 3 fucking games, jesus.

Let me guess, you called Donnell when he was playing in 8th grade? OH, I know, you knew about Bernard when he came rushing out of his mom's womb!
