Roo Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Not such an easy call. Indy is tempting, but I wonder if that's because of how we associate the Manning air attack. Moss/Porter/Curry is pretty hot, but so are those three bucks in Detroit. Hmmm.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down Goes Frazia Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 it's all about the QB getting them the ball...... with that said, manning set's his corp apart, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caveman_Nick Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 (edited) Not because of any individual, but because of the mix of talent and differing skill sets. EDIT: This is not a statement regarding Fantasy WRs, but NFL effectiveness as a group. Edited August 24, 2005 by Caveman_Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roo Posted August 24, 2005 Author Share Posted August 24, 2005 The Pats didn't even come to mind but you have a point. Remember try to keep the QB out of it. Imagine you were the QB of a football team - what WR corps do you want? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peepinmofo Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I voted Indy since theyre the best PROVEN squad, but I think that Detroit has the potential to be the best. With experience, they will be dominant. However, they will likely need a new QB as well. Oakland has a nice squad too, but how will Moss and Porter play together? How will Moss play in a different system then he was in? I like Cincinatti and Carolina as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piranha Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Makes you think about it. I think the proven best WR corp is Indy with Harrison, Wayne, and Stokely. And having Manning throwing doesn't hurt either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azazello1313 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 without taking qb into consideration, oakland. best from a fantasy perspective would obviously have to be indy. the detroit boys haven't proven chit, and arizona is every bit as good as far as talent and potential.

Fenokee Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Hard to argue with Indy, but I voted other and went with Arizona due to youth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roo Posted August 24, 2005 Author Share Posted August 24, 2005 I said Oakland too. Even though they aren't proven as a team, you've got serious veteran talent and raw skill (and depth). I don't know what Indy would be like with Collins at the helm. I was actually having more difficulty between Detroit and Oakland. Those guys are all athletic wonders.

NavinRJohnson Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 This season, I'd say Indy. Using the old, "if I were starting a team today" argument, I'd take Detroit's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The discussion of the skill players is more to support why I think Brady is an underated Fantasy commodity this season, not the other way around.

sundaynfl Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Talent wise I have to say Oakland.. besides the QB I think you should consider the hogs up front. Manning was sacked 13 times will the duo of Gannon and Collins were sacked 30 times. Manning had all day in the pocket! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiegie Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I'm surprised there is no mention of Holt/Bruce/Curtis/McDonald yet for the Rams. I definitely don't understand why somebody would think that Detroit's or Arizona's WRs are better than they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notamomo Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I voted Oakland too. They go four deep. If Moss is the most talented in the league (most will agree), Porter stacks up very nicely next to R.Wayne, L. Fitzerald, Givens, etc..., I'd rather have a healthy Curry (healthy) than Stokely (healthy),or any other 3rd WR, and I think Gabriel has lot of talent and playmaking ability. Oakland goes 4 deep. That's why they are best, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just making sure everyone didn't jump on Indy because of their fantasy production, and Manning. It's true, St. Louis could be considered, and so could Arizona. I just felt like Detroit was a notch above, but that's why I left it open. Roy Williams is insanely good - we just didn't get a full taste of him last year.

The Holy Roller Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Have to agree with weigie on this one. StL has a potent bunch with experince, youth, speed, and potential. But I'd have to go with Indy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulOttCarruth Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 946096[/snapback] Three Pro-Bowlers -- Boston, Booker, and McMichael Chambers would've been a Pro-Bowler with any QB who had just a little bit of talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
