anismith Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 How worried should I be about him being my QB for the playoffs? Will they start resting him soon? My league stupidly goes till Week 17, is it time for me to invest in a decent backup QB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowboutthemCowboys Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Wk 17? You probly want someone else imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montana is da Man Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I agree, I think you want a backup QB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkraft896 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Ron Rivera has said that they will not be benching players, especially if they are still undefeated. I don't think you have much to worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Whether he is going to sit week 17 or not I think you need some sort of backup QB and a decent one if possible, otherwise the drop off from Cam will be huge if he doesn't play. In an 8 team league there has to be some good options, and according to your roster you don't have any backup QB, very dangerous for such a key position. I wouldn't put too much trust in coaches or others who might say "he won't sit", nobody knows this is new territory for the Panthers, they have a legit shot and with the way he plays an injury is not out of question.

I am planning to pickup Stafford or Fitz this week. Hopefully I'll get Stafford. I just wanted to double check that this was a good idea.

Sunday Couch Potatoe Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I think they will sit him in week 17, but he is good to go prior to that. The Cardinals still have a shot at the #1 spot in the NFC so they are going to want to keep Cam in until week 16. If they are still undefeated he will not be sitting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowboutthemCowboys Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 If they are still undefeated he will not be sittingI would tend to agree, but I probably wouldn't risk a ff championship game on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dogs Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 That's why I hate leagues that have their championship game in week 17. Too many potential studs have the chance of being pulled early. All my leagues have their championship in week 16 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolphin_Akie Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 As people said above, week 17 you want another QB as Cam will probably sit or get a drive or two. Chances are they'll have the #1 seed locked up so I'd look at who has a good matchup and preferably something to play for. Maybe even try to trade for someone like Big Ben or Matt Ryan as they prime matchups in week 17. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I would tend to agree, but I probably wouldn't risk a ff championship game on it I woudln't go into the playoffs with one QB though, and that appears to be what the OP was planning to do. Of course in an 8 team league he has options like Stafford to add. But I'd want that backup on my roster before they lock at Sunday 1PM kickoff.

Sunday Couch Potatoe Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Then I don't think he is sitting because they will be undefeated. I hope so I'm pulling for them and them alone to take it all this year! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anismith Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 I hope so I'm pulling for them and them alone to take it all this year! I have gotten excited about them too since I've watched so many games because of Cam and J-stew and their DST being on my team. I did grab Stafford today though.

stevegrab Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 How awesome would it be for CAR to go 16-0, then reach the SB and beat the Pats No long playoff success history, no string of SB appearances and wins, one year they're the worst playoff team in a while at 7-8-1 and "don't deserve to be there" (according to some) the next year 19-0 and SB champs.

I think Brady would cry and Belichick would literally explode at the press conference. In other words, pretty dang awesome.

WildTurkey Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Stafford has a pretty darn good schedule the rest of the way...I think you made a good pickup and may have lineup questions the rest of the way between him and Cam! NO and SF in weeks 15-16 have me salivating. I picked him up when Luck went down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No lie, I would probably splooge just thinking of the Cam haters reaction at him earning that place in history. Sorry if that was a bit too graphic.

Yeah, I had planned for him for a while and then when he went off against the Eagles I was worried someone was going to grab him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO and SF in weeks 15-16 have me salivating. I picked him up when Luck went down. Yeah, got him in 2 redrafts. My other... I have Newton. So... interesting topic. 10-team league so there are some decent choices out there: Alex Smith (vs. OAK), Mariota (@IND), Tannehill (vs. NEP), Hoyer (vs. JAC), and heck, even Andrew Luck's out there. I might just pick him up and if he's not up to speed in the next couple weeks I could go for one of these other guys. Heck, I just convinced myself.

WildTurkey Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I plan on starting Stafford vs NO in week 15 and then Luck in wk 16 vs MIA if and only if he plays before then and looks decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
