Eli or Vince Young?

[Winoman]

So I played Bradford over Eli in one league last week and it lost me the game - live and learn....but have I? Eli didn't throw a single TD in his prior 2 and I think the Gmen run on Detroit - plus Lions pass rush not to shabby this year (& Giants O-line is weak) - so I'm getting cold feet with Eli - My options are Vince Young & Bradford...already rulled out Bradford. Young playa the Jags - could be his best match up yet....but will he just be average - is Eli's upside better - who would you start? (thanks in advance for the insights)

So is this one really too tough for folks?

I have Eli on my team and would be starting him if I didnt have Orton. Eli is inconsistent BUT he is far more talented than Young. I too believe that the G-Men will run the ball but Eli will at the very least outperform Young in yardage and could possibly throw multiple TD's. Project Eli for about 240 & 1 for sure, possibly 2 TD's. Eli also has better receiving options. I think they will put the hammer down early and get the lead then will run the ball. I do not trust Young.

Thanks - makes sense and along the lines of what I was already thinking. I currently have Eli as the starter but was considering Young due to the matchup. I'll likely stick with Eli (and hope for the best)....though am still open to being convinced that Young has the better upside...
