rai Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I have lost faith in the Eagles and specificlly McNabb as a top QB in fantasy Football. He has one good game 381 yards and 4 TDs in one game against Det His 5 other games combined he has 1066 pass yards and 3 TDs thats average 213 pass yards and .6 TDs per game. I know he's got some potential, but he looks like a shadow of his former self. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaterMan Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 He's doing better than alot of QBs. But he never was an elite QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peepinmofo Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 He's doing better than alot of QBs. But he never was an elite QB. His stats last year before he got hurt say otherwise. He was a top 5ish QB, maybe top 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_am_the_swammi Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 He's doing better than alot of QBs. But he never was an elite QB. Perhaps you should check the stats from prior years...or even last year through Week 9, when he was leading all QBs in FF point production....or give us your definition of "elite".

rai Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 (edited) this year 2 games he's been shut-out (no TDs). It's hard to have any confidence when after the 4 TD Detroit game he gets sacked 12 times in one game and no TDs. Last year he was the top QB (#1 QB) in points per game average 10 starts. Last year average: 264 yards 1.8 TD (21 rush yards) 0.3 rush TDs (total yards 288/game 2.1 TD/game) This year average 241 yards 1.1 TD (9 rush yards/game 0 rush TDs (total 250/game 1.1 TD/game) Lets put it this way both Jake Delhomme (3 games) and Griese (4 games) have more TDs than McNabb Edited October 22, 2007 by rai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 (edited) Someone who doesn't throw bounce passes and doesn't lose TO as a WR. Your comment was "he never was an elite QB" and that statement is completely incorrect. Now take it back before McNabb's mom has to open up a can of Chunkie Whoop Ass Soup on you.

i_am_the_swammi Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Someone who doesn't throw bounce passes and doesn't lose TO as a WR. He didn't have TO last year, and led the league in QB FF points for the first two months of the year. If you want to argue he isn't an elite QB this year, you have some valid points...though he is still better than options such as Bulger, Edwards, Carr, Lemons, Huard, Griese, Smith, Rivers, Schaub, Harrington, Pennington, Jackson, Boller/McNair, Clulpepper, Cutler, Young, and Campbell...and on par with Hasselback, Garcia, Kitna, Brees, and Garrard. I'd put the following ahead of him at this point: Brady, Manning, Romo, Palmer, Roethlisberger, Warner, Favre & Alexander. If you can cut McNabb and pick up one of these 8 QBs, do it. But to say he was NEVER an elite QB makes you sound rather fooish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_am_the_swammi Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 However, there is one caveat to consider: Mcnabb may not be starting (or playing a full 60 minutes) if the Eagles fall out of the hunt. Rumors are circulating here that once the Eagles fall out of contention in the NFC (they'd need to go 7-3 to be a 9-7 team, and they have some serious tiebreaker issues having lost to GB and CHI...they could be eliminated earlyish), they will get both Feely and rookie Kolb some gametime action, for two reasons: 1. Get Kolb some seasoning so as to compete for the job next year should McNabb be traded, and Feely some action if he needs to start for a season before Kolb is ready; 2. Keep McNabb healthy so they can trade him...having him get hurt in a meaningless Week 14 game would be disastrous to his offseason trade value. Mcnabb should continue to start for the foreseeable future, but beware what possibly lies ahead for later in the season (and at FF playoff time).

LooGie Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 McNabb has a ceiling that is higher than 90% of the rest of the league. Any day he could go for 4 or 5 TDs and 350 yards, so, based on that, I'm keeping him, and I'm happy about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadman Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 rai, although I can certainly see the interest in starting Big Ben against the Bengals this week, but personally I can't see dropping McNabb THIS week, since he's facing the Vikings pass defense which is allowing an average of 282.5 YPG. If there's ever a game which could provide opportunity for a good stats performance for McNabb, it could be this week. I will go on to embarrass myself completely by noting that I was happy to take McNabb on two teams, thinking he would probably post numbers somewhat similar to Brady this season....

i_am_the_swammi Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Do you have a real source or just WIP and speculation? Nope, just the media, which are alot more in touch with the team than I am. Which is why I pre-empted my post with the fact that it was just a rumor. But it certainly is a possibility that would make an awful lot of sense, wouldn't you agree? I posted it because Huddlers from other parts of the country may not even be thinking that there is chance McNabb could be rested/preserved down the stretch. I just wanted to alert them that the idea is being discussed locally by newspapers and talk shows, so it shouldn't come as any surprise if there is fire where there is smoke. Can you think of one good reason why the Eagles would continue to play McNabb 100% of every game if the team is 3-9 and a raw rookie in need of some game experience is on the sideline? If I was a playoff-bound fantasy owner depending on McNabb in Weeks 13-16, I'd have a contingency plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Swerski Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 At the very least, I'd try to trade him rather than just cutting him and getting nothing in return. You might not get a whole lot, but McNabb does have a significant track record, he plays in an extremely pass-happy offense and, as someone already mentioned, his upside on any given Sunday is high.

whitem0nkey Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Yes you should cut Mcnabb, if you have 2 out of the folowing QBs Kitna, P Manning, Romo, Palmer, or brady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
