Nate3422 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Ok so I have never taken a qb in the first round. I have had a very good team every year but still dont have a championship. Thinking about switchign up my draft strategy this year. I have pick 7 in a 12 man league and I think Brady and Brees will be on the board when I pick. Qb score alot of points in our league, scoring system is 1 pt per 10 yards passing, 6 point per td, ppr, wr/rb 1 pt per 10 yards. QB bonus at 350, rb/wr bonus at 150 yards, interceptions are -3. I think the top running backs will be taken and maybe a top wr by the time I pick. I orignally liked Brees but now Im starting to think I like Brady. Only think I can think of that I dont like about Brady is when its playoff time all 3 of the games he will be playing in will be very cold/snowy games but that really hasnt stopped him before.

Big Country Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 with that yardage scoring, a high yardage QB is hugh, and this turns into one of the rare cases where I might advocate going QB early in a 1 QB league, even as early as the first. I would be interested in seeing the scoring spread by position though from the last few years to get a better grasp of just how much affect there is on QB value.

tonorator Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 how many points is the bonus at 350 passing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LayLow Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 can't you just draft one of them in the second??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate3422 Posted August 14, 2009 Author Share Posted August 14, 2009 Bonus is just + 3 so not really a huge deal on that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate3422 Posted August 14, 2009 Author Share Posted August 14, 2009 Honestly think both of them will be gone by the time my pick comes back around in the 2nd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonorator Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 if it's me, i don't use that first pick on either but wait and see if they do fall to the 2nd. even then, i'm looking to see what other options exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate3422 Posted August 14, 2009 Author Share Posted August 14, 2009 So you would rather take like a stephen jackson or LT there instead of Brees or Brady? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonorator Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 So you would rather take like a stephen jackson or LT there instead of Brees or Brady? LT absolutely. sjax would be the prudent pick yes, but i'm not high on him at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate3422 Posted August 14, 2009 Author Share Posted August 14, 2009 something doesnt feel right about taking lt over brees or brady. You think its better to have the 5th or 6th best back over the # 1 rated qb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think its better to have the 5th or 6th best back over the # 1 rated qb? personally, when i think it is all said and done, LT will be in the top 3. he is looking good in camp and is motivated to show everyone that he is not done and that the chargers can make it to the super bowl.

Nate3422 Posted August 14, 2009 Author Share Posted August 14, 2009 Well what about in my league where the qb scores so many points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be interested in seeing the scoring spread by position though from the last few years to get a better grasp of just how much affect there is on QB value. Would still need an answer to the bolded portion above to make any sort of educated inference. Also, an idea of how your leaguemates tend to draft would have a pretty big impact.

Henry Muto Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 1 pt per 10 yards passing is a nutty league and this comes from someone who plays in many formats that are different from the norm. That just makes QB's way way too valueable in my opionion...that said you have to play what your league says the rules are I guess. Brees 5,0069 yards = 506 pts right there. 34 TD's = 204 more pts = 710 pts 17 INTs = 660 pts 660 pts from Brees Brady throws way less INT's so maybe he is the better player tough call Brady gets the TDs Brees the yardage Either way 650 pts from your QB compared to maybe 400 pts from the #12 QB is a huge drop off +250 if you get 1 of those 2 Rivers around 570 pts P-Manning, Rodgers were around 525 pts last year Warner around 500 pts Fitz around 300 pts D-Will around 300 pts Peterson only had around 260 pts Why go RB in round 1 when you can get a solid RB in round 2 that scores nearly the same amount of pts Get the QB round 1 if Brees or Brady is there. Do not hesitate do not look back. Most people here are too set in their ways to understand this scoring system that is set before you but do the math and you can see a QB is the right choice if you can get one of those 2.

Nate3422 Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share Posted August 15, 2009 Thanks Henry thats kind of what I was thinking. Everyone is so brainwashed to take rb first that its hard to swallow taking Brees or Brady in the first round. I think both of them will be there but if not at least one of them. I know that our qb scoring is different but we tried it last year and liked it so we stuck with it. I just think if I have one of those 2 qb I can still put a solid team around them and will have a gerat chance of winning every week. I had mcnabb last year and was in first place from day 1 until I got beat in the 2nd round of the playoffs. I hated I had to worry about qb every week though bc he was so hot and cold. Now I guess my next questions is if they are both there which one to take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be shocked if Brees and Brady are even on the board when it comes around to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate3422 Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share Posted August 15, 2009 Im pretty sure at least one of them will be there at pick 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
