BeeR Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I've had this guy all year but stupidly not started him because, well, it's Kitna and the Lions.....meanwhile Mr "he's due and has all those weapons" Bledsoe has killed me. Finally the light comes on.....and Kitna's on bye. But IMO this guy is a must-start unless you have a real stud like Manning or McNabb etc. Somehow he's getting it done FF-wise.

Todd1 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I drafted McNair and Kitna and have started him since week 4, except one mistake where I thought Carr vs. Dall was better than Kitna vs. Buff. Kitna is the #4 overall player AND QB in this league, so no sweat starting him at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAUgrad Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Traded for him in another league 3 weeks ago. It's a league with a flex position where you can start someone in any position. He's been fantasy gold for me. I originally tried to get Grossman, but instead he offered up Kitna. Thank goodness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfish247 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 People made fun of me when I drafted him in one of my leagues. he bailed me out on Bulger's bye last week. the only other time i started him was week 3 for his huge GB game. as the Lions' season quickly descends into the crapper, the prospect of the likes of McCown or Orlosvksysvsvsvysyvykvkysvykky getting playing time gives me anxiety and indigestion. not only would i be without the option of playing Kitna over Bulger when Bulger faces CHI in week 1 of the playoffs but Roy will probably all but disappear too.

You dont have to worry about this because the Lions will be in the playoff hunt after they wheel off 9 in a row. If you don't believe me, just ask Roy.

The truth is if Bledsoe was still starting and Kitna was not on bye, most would start Bledsoe for the very reason you stated "It's Kitna and the Lions". Much like the days when he quarterbacked the lowly Bengals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolv Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I'm still confused why more FF people didn't see this coming. Agreed. He's my starter or backup in almost all my leagues. Pretty much there for the taking in all the late rounds.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildcat2334 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I'm still confused why more FF people didn't see this coming. I guess so...... Kitna has to be one of the all-time worst QB's in NFL history to put up top 10 stats FF- wise. He just does not win football games, and does all he can to lose them most of the time. I still don't agree with having him as your #1 QB, even if you are the Lions. I mean, a journeyman quick fix to go winless? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Wombat Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I waited and waited to get a QB, having learned in the past that there always guys available late that rise to the top. I ended up drafting Trent Green and Aaron Brooks. Blech! My QBs are now Kitna and Grossman, both early season waiver wire pickups (somebody drafted Kitna and dropped him for some reason). Sure, I would rather have P.Manning or McNabb, but Kitna is doing just fine, thank you. Here's hoping Grossman's last game was just an anomaly though.

DemonKnight Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I can't believe I'm saying this but... I just drafted Kitna and I think he is going to be the reason I make the playoffs... I drafted McNair and Brooks, dropped Brooks and now have Losman. Obviously QB has been my weakness. I just traded the Falcons D for Kitna. He has McNabb and is #1 overall points with Washington and Houston D's, it was his only weakness. Go Lions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Holliday Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 People made fun of me when I drafted him in one of my leagues. Seems like people would of seen that a Martz offense always makes the QB look at least decent. he bailed me out on Bulger's bye last week. the only other time i started him was week 3 for his huge GB game. as the Lions' season quickly descends into the crapper, the prospect of the likes of McCown or Orlosvksysvsvsvysyvykvkysvykky getting playing time gives me anxiety and indigestion. not only would i be without the option of playing Kitna over Bulger when Bulger faces CHI in week 1 of the playoffs but Roy will probably all but disappear too. You don't have to worry about Kitna being benched. he was signed to be the starting QB and really has no competition. I guess so...... Kitna has to be one of the all-time worst QB's in NFL history to put up top 10 stats FF- wise. He just does not win football games, and does all he can to lose them most of the time. I still don't agree with having him as your #1 QB, even if you are the Lions. I mean, a journeyman quick fix to go winless? Kitna has been on bad teams thus the reason he has lost football games while a starter. it amazes me how people will stick a teams win/loss percentage next to a QB like it is their stat and not the teams. a QB is 1 guy on a team. Kitna is doing his job..wish I could say the same for the defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted October 26, 2006 Author Share Posted October 26, 2006 a QB is 1 guy on a team. Most people who post on FF boards would disagree w/you (ref the ever-popular "Manning can't win the big one" gibberish). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was a Det homer I would rather shat the '06 bed with a young QB that can improve along the way than . Kitna may put up decent, garbage time FF points, but as an NFL QB - he sucks............

loaf Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I've given him love all year. I've drafted him in several leagues and one he's a starter and was drafted that way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donutrun Jellies Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I'm still confused why more FF people didn't see this coming. I got laughed at when I drafted him as well -- now, I'm trapped in a league with him as my back up, looking to trade him to upgrade WR -- and can't get anyone to take me seriously, despite Kitna outscoring all but four QBs this year. Peyton, McNabb, Bulger, Eli - then Kitna. Apparently points and a nice schedule here on out are not worth as much as I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicCEO Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 He outscored McNair every single week, and I kept starting McNair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosGatosEnFuegos Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 My leaguemates gave me the business for drafting Rivers and Kitna. I also picked up McNair, but cut him fairly early. Kitna is currently the 5th ranked QB and Rivers is tied for 6th. Kitna, however, is going to drop dramatically with his bye week coming up. I expect him to be surpassed by Rivers, Brees, Vick, Grossman, Brady, Favre, and Carr, all of whom have already had their byes. That drops him to 12th, which is a more reasonable spot for him. He does have some nice matchups after the bye though, which will likely land him back in the top ten a few weeks down the road. I don't see him finishing as a top 5 QB this year, and I'd give him a 50/50 shot of ending up in the top 10. All in all, he has performed as I expected a QB in a Martz offense to perform, lots of yards, good TD numbers, and too many INTs. Definitely a steal for me in the late rounds this year.

Finally the light comes on.....and Kitna's on bye. But IMO this guy is a must-start unless you have a real stud like Manning or McNabb etc. Somehow he's getting it done FF-wise. I'm surprised you picked up on him so quickly, BR. Usually the season is over & you look back on your roster & realize that you could have been starting a top 10 QB all year. On a more serious note, I was able to pick up Kitna in the offseason in FA in my dynasty league (mostly because I was committed to using the DET QBs as my #2 QB) to use behind Plummer, and I was able to draft Kitna in the 10th round of my redraft league right behind Trent Green in the 9th round. Needless to say, I'm extremely pleased with the value. In the dynasty league, Kitna is the #4 QB in the league & will probably drop to 8th/9th after he's done with his bye this week, and in the redraft league he's the #3 QB and will drop to #6 at worst after his bye. FF owners are just plain ignorant if they ignore a Martz QB, even if they can't stand Martz, the team he's coaching for, or the QB - or any combination of the above. His starting QBs put up big numbers in FF. Edited October 27, 2006 by Bronco Billy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlayaHata Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I traded for Kitna two weeks ago, and he is single-handedly saving my season since my other QBs were Roethlisberger and Leftwich. I now will be starting Kitna, Kevin Jones, and Roy Williams (after this weeks bye) in my PPR league and couldn't be happier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
