Avernus Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Stand by Carter at your own peril. KRob is a more interesting prospect, IMO. But I'd like to see who the Vikings draft (if it affects the QB and WR situation) and see KRob make it to at least the beginning of preseason without any off-field problems before I consider him more seriously. But he did flash some talent last year, and could add some extra frosting on the cake for those in leagues awarding individual points for PR/KR duties. 1438499[/snapback] I'm on the DCarter sleeper bandwagon as well... he's tall, have pretty good hands and has amazing speed.....all he has to do is learn the offense.... if he takes the slot over Colbert...he could be good....if someone ahead of him gets hurt ...I think he could potentially flourish....

Menudo Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 exactly....Brees wasn't very productive until Gates flourished and gave him a big target over the middle as a safety valve...then everything else opened up... I think Rivers has more talent and a higher ceiling...so all he has to do is throw some accurate passes to Gates and teams will have to respect it....even though they will likely double Gates anyways... 1438517[/snapback] +1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gijunky Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 To turn things around... I would like to add.... Michael Clayton.... he'll likely go under the radar after last year 1438473[/snapback] Good call on Clayton...he and Andre Johnson have to be two of the biggest disappointments at WR last year.

wcd480 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 (edited) To be fair, Ben doesn't exactly lead the league in connecting on the deep pass. He threw 22 completed passes for 25+ yards last year. That puts him in a 3 way tie for 12th place in terms of the sheer number of "big play" passers last year. I agree that Ben isn't a dink and dunk passer. But let's not overstate his long-ball. He wasn't even in the top 20 in terms of passing yards per game. However, your point is valid: Ben did have the highest passing yards per attempt (8.90) out of any of the regular starting QBs that I saw. (You said yards per completion, which isn't exactly the same, but I couldn't find that stat). 1438480[/snapback] Wouldn't this indicate that Big Ben is a dink and dunk passer and that his recievers picked up a lot of yards after the catch. QB - Grossman RB - Greg Jones WR - K Robinson TE - Veron Davis - wherever he goes he will be a beast ps - not knocking Roethlisberger just bringing up a point for consideration. edit to spell Roethlisberger correctly Edited April 26, 2006 by wcd480 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yo mama Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 (edited) Wouldn't this indicate that Big Ben is a dink and dunk passer and that his recievers picked up a lot of yards after the catch. 1438829[/snapback] Ah-so, yung grasshoppa. You are wise to pose such a question. However, you may be surprised to learn that, when looking at QBs whose total passing yardage was actually attributable to YAC earned by their receiving targets, Ben wasn't even in the top 20: 1 Tom Brady NE 1904 2 Trent Green KC 1793 3 Brett Favre GB 1776 4 Jake Delhomme Car 1692 5 Jake Plummer Den 1568 6 Drew Brees SD 1548 7 Eli Manning NYG 1522 8 Mark Brunell Was 1503 9 Steve McNair Ten 1499 10 Peyton Manning Ind 1438 11 Drew Bledsoe Dal 1419 12 Carson Palmer Cin 1408 13 Kerry Collins Oak 1360 14 Gus Frerotte Mia 1331 15 Donovan McNabb Phi 1226 16 Matt Hasselbeck Sea 1203 17 Kurt Warner Ari 1144 18 Aaron Brooks NO 1135 19 Trent Dilfer Cle 1131 20 David Carr Hou 1104 ETA: I couldn't find stats that demonstrated average YAC per completion, or anything that specific. That'd really be a more accurate measure, but apparantly no one is has been anal-retentive enough to compile such data.

BigTen Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 McCown will probably start the year on the bench behind Kitna. I assume you don't see Kitna as the answer. I actually think Kitna will be servicable. Not a pro bowler but good for 20+ td's if he gets decent protection. 1438354[/snapback] The only answer in Detroit at QB is Unitas. I like Kitna but feel that McCown will be a sleeper pick, thus my pick. I like the guy at QB and think he will win the starting job. No inside info just a hunch.
