Thews40 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 To be honest I don't care if your league scoring rewards QB's with the last name of Rivers with 10 bonus points each game. Taking him in the third round is insane. Our scoring is PPR and 4 pts/TD throw. I understand your logic but one needs to fill their roster out with receivers and running backs to be competitive. Selecting one QB early is understandable (not Rivers and I am a Charger Homer) but two QB's back to back with Rivers being the first is neglecting the rest of your roster. You are correct if it's PPR and 4 points/TD... a lot of leagues are still without PPR and 6 for a passing TD. Analysis of the scoring system is key in seeing if this makes sense.

I Like Soup Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 What's the scoring system? If it's 6 pts/TD and no PPR, this was a very good move. Picking between Rivers/Bulger every week doesn't put you in an ASYS quagmire. If you pick the weeks right most of the time (against match-ups), you'll get the equivalent of P.Manning in QB production. It also starts a QB run if QB's are weighted heavily in the scoring system. At the end of the season, it's a good bet that both will be at least fighting for a playoff spot, so you may get awesome production weeks 15-17 for your FF playoffs. Also, if too many QB's go, then the last two teams to pick a QB are gonna have to back them up sooner rather than later, which shifts the draft to make more options for you in the mid rounds. If disaster strikes, you can deal either of them and still cover. I think you may be missing a key point...if someone drafts a questionable player earlier, that shifts the draft in the earlier rounds, which is a bigger deal than shifting the draft in the middle rounds as the players in the earlier rounds are better than the ones in the middle rounds.

Bronco Billy Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 You are correct if it's PPR and 4 points/TD... a lot of leagues are still without PPR and 6 for a passing TD. Analysis of the scoring system is key in seeing if this makes sense. No analysis of any scoring system other than one that give Chargers 100 pts per season more than any other players justifies Rivers being taken in the 3rd round.

kerwin8 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 league scoring rewards QB's with the last name of Rivers with 10 bonus points each game. sounds like a scoring system that's worth looking into... Maybe you could throw in some sort of multiplier based on the number of guys with the same last name in your starting lineup. I bet that would shake a draft up pretty well...

Avernus Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 someone drafted Wes Welker in the 5th last year because he "liked his name"... and when Welker had a nice week one...he pulled out the proverbial "I told you so" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaz13 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 "That Guy" in our league took Hank Baskett while Reggie Brown was still on the board. I asked him why and his reply was "Reggie Brown is old news, Baskett is the up and comer". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
