Weird... are you suggesting that I don't know what I'm talking about?
I'm merely throwing out a few examples of how stats have been used around here. I get the notion that you have to see the player perform within the team to get to the real meat of the debate, but as you know... not everyone participating in the debates communicated their opinion rationally.

I've become a fan of the dynasty league with salary/contract caps for each team. I'm starting one up with friends this year, the initial draft will be 27 rounds... heavy on IDP and the scoring is pretty complex.
Rosters have to include flex on both sides and the IDP scoring has to be good enough to where you don't view your IDP like many view your Kicker. The contract aspect of it in dynasty really makes you THINK about who you are drafting, picking up. There are penalties for dropping players under contract, etc... It's definitely not for everyone. I like having scoring for just about everything available on both sides of the ball... I like the QB/RB/WR/WR/TE with 2 flex spots that could be RB/WR/TE along with the K and then another 6 IDP spots, including 1-2 flex. I'm a sicko though...

I came in to post about Philip Rivers and a Fantasy Football league broke out.

I don't like leagues where the guy with the 2 best rbs is the winner damn near 100%. Hate when the first 15 picks are running backs. Hell, my 1st pick this year was tom brady. Posted via Mobile Device |

Rivers would suck if it were not for Randy Moss
I would take rivers any day minus his attitude.

Problem arose a few years ago when Pittsburg had Bettis as a short down back. Well Parker would get all the yards and the work load, while Bettis was scoring all the tds... Same with Carolina and Delhomme. He would feed the ball down the feild to his backs and end up with 135 yards passing and 3 TD's which was a higher score than someone that put up 400 yards and 1 TD... Just tried to even the league out and make the players more valuable. |

soon as Rivers holds EVERY record then I will give him some props. Half his passes are dump offs to LT , not to mention Gates catches tons of his wobblers. He is a system QB and has had great protection and a incredible running game to keep the D off him.
He is one step up from Leaf talent wise-but just as big of a pussy. |

I don't recall Cry me a Rivers putting the whole team on his shoulders and willing them to win, but I DO recall all the finger pointing after they lost. |

Ryan Leaf was far more physically gifted than Rivers. On talent alone, he was the prototypical QB. But a QB requires more than the physical gifts to compete and excel in the NFL, and Rivers is better by leaps and bounds over that POS Leaf. All you see from Favre is these big numbers and that gun and you think he's the best ever. But I see a guy that didn't think, he just figured his physical talent was enough to make things work, and he constantly and consistently put his defense in bad situations and cost that Packer team more games than he won with clutch performance. There are a bunch of QBs I'd rather have over Favre. Favre is and always has been a moron on the field.

Milkman... just point to this man when trying to define the total package at QB. None of them are perfect and he had some issues along the way... and some may not like the way he made his way to Denver.
But, he had the tools, the talent, the mindset, the heart and the determination to lead others ... it's hard to judge QBs from different eras, but for me Elway was the definition of greatness. There are 2-4 QBs that you could stake claim to that title and they all have their merits, but I'll take this one. Yep, I'm making an unexpected left turn in this thread... enjoy.
