tazinib1 Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share Posted August 22, 2008 Taz do you have a link to your draft? I'd like like look around. See if this works. Not sure if you can link into Fanball software like you can MFL. http://real.fanball.com/ff.x42?prg=draft&a...und=1&55680 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then wouldn't I get all those sales pitches from FanBall telling how it's far better than the Huddle? After I registered it took me to Fanball.com's home page. Probably just for league members.

Seahawks21 Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Bowe is already as talented as any WR in the game not named Randy. The way he attacks the ball in mid-air is as impressive as I have seen, not in years, but ever. He plays WR like a RB that runs angry. I don't know how many of you have access to wide tape, but if you were to freeze a play right after the quarterback releases the ball, and then watch what happens from there, it is pretty darn amazing. He may not have Calvin's measurables, but is head and shoulders above him as a professional wideout. If by #2 WR you mean he will finish somewhere in the 12-20 range as far as WR's go, absolutely. In fact, he may end the season more like a #1 if Croyle can stay upright. Croyle won't even have to have a superb year for both Bowe and Tony to have good years since they don't have any other options to speak of. There will be games where Bowe is completely taken out by design, but he should be talented enough to stay consistent despite some of the shortcomings of his teammates.

Bowe is definitely a stud or one in the making. I think the problem with him is his QB and the options around him. They are having to roll Croyle out of the pocket to keep him off his back....if he had the time to throw I have no doubts about the sucess the two of them could have, but the line just can't provide that time, or at least haven't shown it yet. Croyle has a heck of an arm and can get it to Bowe, but the reasons I previously mentioned are the reasons he should be drafted as a #3 right now. I agree with some of your analysis as far as overall football talents, however I pretty much disagree when it comes to the FF aspect and you overvaluing a lot of players where they should be picked. He might finish as a #2 or an almost #1, but it isn't likely given his "situation". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keggerz Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 If I have to have Dwayne Bowe as my #2, then I am in real trouble. To answer your question, NO, I would not draft him as my #2. You guys I would probably take Roddy White over Bowe. Not probably, I would. Just don't Ditto. Get it! Wow, really? Maybe I drank too much of the Bowe Kool-Aid last year (after all, he did help our WCOFF team win our league), but I would be absolutely fine with him as my #2 WR this year. I'll take my BOTH league ConFusion as an example: he was the 24th-best WR. That said, he's at the very end of a 12-team league's second set of WRs. His 24th-place ranking comes in his rookie year, a year with a carousel of QBs. I'm not calling Brodie Croyle the second coming of Dan Marino (heck, he might not be the second coming of any random average QB) but at least there appears to be SOME stability at the position. With Gonzo keeping defenses honest, Bowe sees plenty of single coverage. I think he puts up top-20 WR numbers this season. So yeah, I'd be cool with him as my #2... ecstatic if I get him as my #3. I guess I should foot-note this with the fact that I'd be happy with him as my #2 if and only if I had a top-tiered WR as my #1. You get it! Last yr Bowe put up 70/995 5....no reason to think that he cant meet or exceed those numbers....QB position can't be any worse then it was last yr....In a dynasty league Bowe is top 10...just wait and see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I just can't envision Croyle being so terrible that Bowe isn't a top 20 WR. Bowe is so talented, Croyle would have to like be Mike Vick , Rick Mirer or Kyle Boller type bad for Bowe not to have a big year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keggerz Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 fwiw, Chefs passing game last year 3181 yards(20th in the NFL and MORE then the GMEN & even PITT) 17 TDs(24th...GMEN had 6 more passing TDs) 20 INTs (23rd TIE and = to the amount by CLEV & GMEN) 73.0 QB Rating (24th and same as the GMEN) 59.5% Comp % (22nd and higher then the GMEN) 55 SACKS tied for MOST in the NFL the reason I keep pointing out the GMEN is because Plax put up top 11 WR numbers and the GMen were only better in 2 of the above Categories: TDs and Sacks allowed...I can't see how the KC passing attack is going to be worse and if so how can it be much worse? Bowe is going to get his and with even the slightest improvement he could very well push the top 10-15 range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Square Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I have enough confidence (drank enough of the Kool-Aid) in Bowe to take him as my #3WR. I'll have to use him as a #2 for the first two weeks while Steve Smith serves his suspension. With matchups I'll probably use him at flex during the regular season. I agree with Keggerz...I don't see how the offense could really step backwards. If anything KC's defense looks a little worse to me (Allen leaving to MN and Dorsey holding out for awhile) so they might have to throw more to stay competitive. I'll take any junk time yardage I can get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
