BA Baracus Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I think it was CD Carter who said that starting Alex Smith is like driving with a helmet on. Time to put the nuts on the table.

bud29 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I'm starting him as well as a QB2 in my local. We'll see how that works out.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the outlaw Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I didn't have the stones to pull the trigger on him...he's sitting on my WW, and I'm not overly excited about any of my options, but rolling w/Rivers in what I hope turns into a shoot-out...

bud29 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Well early on, it looks like this could fall under the "getting cute" category more than anything else. Hopefully things start picking up for him.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with a goose egg, it's not like he's doing too much worse than my other QB2 options of Fitz (1 pt) or Orton (0 pts). Hopefully he can settle in and start making some plays.

kwolf68 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 (edited) Alright...other thread...my bad. No sweat. He literally looked like a Div-III QB against NFL players today. It was pretty much a joke. I suppose he can improve, but I don't think he has much upside. That said, if his preparation and practice habits as reported are to be believed then maybe this debacle will inspire him to get it together and work on his craft.

bud29 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 (edited) ah haaaaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaaaaaaa why would you start this kid in what was most likely a Playoff game? If I had a clear-cut option for my QB2, I would have sat Johnny and not given it a second thought. Since I have such hondaty choices, though, I decided I would roll the dice on Manziel hoping that he can make some big plays. Even with his awful 1-point performance though, he was only 5 points under my "best" QB2 option of Orton, who had 5 points. Fitzpatrick ended up with 2.

loaf Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 In 2 QB leagues, I get it. I still woulda rolled with Orton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byroz Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Man i didnt have much faith in JF but i expected a better game than that. I mean throwing a rookie in there after only playing a few snaps what did people expect? Hopefully he turns into a solid QB though. The rest of his draft class is.

Bridgewater and Bortles got thrown in there and while they have made some mistakes they didn't look this pathetic. In fact, they showed great promise in their first few snaps. Johnny Foolball gave me the impression that it just needed to be over. It was a hideous performance.

Dolphin_Akie Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Can see why people started him and mentioned in another thread he was worth a shot over someone like Fitz or Orton because of the high upside. Even so I expected his floor to be higher than this even just through rushing yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zooty Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I sort of feel bad for Browns fans. I mean they gave up TRich and JFF is all they got back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
