And I wonder what the projections for Romo and MJD look like.

Posted by spamlet Aug 23 '12, 11:52

I don't like having so many questions but really the only QB available is Vick and that's not exactly a step up in the solid department.

Responses:

Romo -- 4200yds, 32 tds, 12 ints, 50y rush, 1 td. -- 325 pts in our league. - Will Hunting Aug 23, 11:56 14
- 12 INTs? He'll beat that in his worst four games. -- nm - David Aug 23, 12:02 4
  - Last year, he went for 4184 / 31 / 10. Three years ago, 4500/26/9... - Will Hunting Aug 23, 12:03 3
    - His career thus far is a strange blend of tremendous and several game disasters. - David Aug 23, 12:09 2
      - I'm just going on the per-game averages for his last 5 years.... - Will Hunting Aug 23, 12:11 1
        
        And a reasonable stat compare -- they have Eli at 4800/28/18 - Will Hunting Aug 23, 12:16
- that's...optimistic. -- nm - spamlet Aug 23, 12:01 8
  - Which? Romo's is almost exact to what he did last year....MJD's is high but they aren't doing day by day updates - Will Hunting Aug 23, 12:02 7
    - Yeah, I don't think many people realize how good (fantasy wise) Romo was last year. -- nm - Inigo Aug 23, 12:04 6
      - Marc Sanchez was a top 10 Fantasy QB last year. -- nm - Reagen Aug 23, 12:20
      - Injured Witten, injured Austin, headcase Bryant and no Laurent changes the equation. -- nm - David Aug 23, 12:06 4
        
        The Witten thing does hurt them. Spleen injuries can end careers. - Inigo Aug 23, 12:11 2
        
        Laurent's 11 TDs were really crucial to stabilizing that team. I was shocked they let him go. -- nm - David Aug 23, 12:12 1
        
        I think a full year of Murray in the backfield balances out that loss. -- nm - Inigo Aug 23, 12:19
        
        and a terrrrrrible O-line from all accounts so far (Not Jets bad, but up there) -- nm - Beaker Aug 23, 12:07

- the fine they could nail him with if so would be more than his new contract! -- nm - Beaker Aug 23, 11:56 16
  - The Jags have zero leverage. -- nm - David Aug 23, 11:58 15
    - you mean all the leverage. He has two years left on a frontloaded contract. They will suck with or without him, so why pay him off? -- nm - Beaker Aug 23, 12:02 14
      - The fanbase is so bad, they were looking at Tebow to sell tickets. - Will Hunting Aug 23, 12:05 1
        
        exactly, so MJD didn't draw when he was actually playing. -- nm - Beaker Aug 23, 12:06
      - You're looking at this exactly backwards. He doesn't have to play at all. While they lose, the fans grow angrier at ownership. - David Aug 23, 12:04 6
        
        the Jags have fans? If he doesn't pay and Kahn wants to play real hardball he sues him for 2/5's of his signing bonus and guaranteed money -- nm - Beaker Aug 23, 12:05 5
        
        What are you even arguing right now? Further nuclear winter demonstrates just how much leverage MJD has. - David Aug 23, 12:11 4
        
        they will suck with or without him, so why set the precedent. -- nm - Beaker Aug 23, 12:12 3
        
        I presume that they want to put themselves in the best position to win. I find it odd that you think having him sit while they lose is good strategy. -- nm - David Aug 23, 12:14 2
        
        cause than when Blackmon (or whoever) has a great season they can't point to MJD and say "see, no way we pay you" -- nm - Beaker Aug 23, 12:15 1
        
        No. -- nm - David Aug 23, 12:20
      - and right now his potential fine is around a cool $1 mil -- nm - Beaker Aug 23, 12:03 4
        
        It's cute that you think he'll ever pay a dime of that. -- nm - David Aug 23, 12:05 3
        
        talking leverage they have on him, not that he might actually pay it -- nm - Beaker Aug 23, 12:06 2
        
        It's not leverage if it's a figment of the imagination. -- nm - David Aug 23, 12:09 1
        
        *shrug* the fact that they likely won't nail him for it doesn't change the fact that they could if they want to go nuclear -- nm - Beaker Aug 23, 12:10
