Culpepper or Alex Smith - Page 3

bsp4444 · 09-05-2007, 10:40 AM

Which would you start for week 1?: Culpepper against Detroit, or Alex Smith against Arizona...both are at home I think.

Also San Diego's defense or Oakland's?

Should I start:
Reggie Bush or Clinton Portis
Carson Palmer (against Baltimore) or Matt Hasselbeck

Never...Ever....Ever

Bench your studs....Carson Palmer will be fine against Baltimore....

I would start Portis and Bush....Who is your other RB? If it is a decent back you should really think about changing leagues your in...cause these folks don't know how to draft...

Bush low first round pick
Palmer....second round pick in 12 man leagues
Portis 3rd round pick

Who are your receivers? M. Harrison and C. Johnson?

Not officially, but they play 3 wide so often he's a quasi starter. Sounds more like "let's keep the rookie motivated" to me. CJ was drafted for the 2nd half, but I admit, I'm damn tempted to start him anyway. I share this team with my wife, and she's the steady voice of reason of the team, we balance nicely.

I still like Caddy better with Tubbs just going down a week ago, that DLine might be reeling right now. Just wanted some opinions, thanks!

Caddillac @Seattle, Ahamn Green vs. KC, or Calvin Johnson @Oakland?

Tampa is going to be horrible...playing from behind all day....

Ahman Green is safe....will get the rock 25 times....specially if the Chiefs are trailing

Calvin Johnson is a solid 3rd receiver...nothing more until he proves it...He's a rookie....plus Roy is the # 1 in Detroit....

My 2 cents

You can win w/out the frontline QB, especially with those 4 RBs. Too bad you can't play 3 of them though. Alex Smith is allright, but you needed 2 guys at that level, not the deep deep scrapin the barrel guys like Culpepper and Garrard. Go with a futures waiver like Quinn, maybe even Joey Harrington, who ain't done too bad this preseason, or perhaps a trade might be in order for you.

My 2 cents

Yes, Reggie Wayne in the third, but I actually took Brees in the second and Travis Henry in the 4th. QB's were flying off the board and I was hosed for my second one.

We shouldn't even be having this conversation then...Start your Studs...

Brees

Love the match up as well against Indy

Someone just picked up Quinn this morning, and Harrington was already gone. What about McCown? Is he better than Garrard?

CJ was my 3rd drafted WR, but I don't have to play 3. And I could easily play my 4th/5th above him (Stallworth and Winslow, TEs are WRs in my league). I'm not happy that I took Stallworth, the one I'd like to have back, but it could be ok for WR4.

Tampa could be bad, that was a risky pick, but for my 3rd/4th, along with Green, I think Caddy will be a fine mathup play.

Is this a 2QB start league? You've got Brees but you're still asking for another starter?

EDIT: Just noticed SF plays Zona this week, play Smith and enjoy the MNF game.

Stay away from McCown. Honestly I think he and Culpepper will be a nightmare week2week headache all year. Drop CPep for Garrard.

My question was Alex Smith or Culpepper, before I was informed that Culpepper wasn't going to start. I was planning on starting Brees. I just don't know what Alex Smith will do. I guess we'll find out, the vote seems to be for Smith and San Diego's defense.

Thanks for everyone's input.

Yeah, my competition let some real gems fall. Plus its a six team league, everyone's team is stacked. I do have another team in a 12 man league and that team is not nearly as crazy.

And my other rb is Steven Jackson.

StcChief · 09-05-2007, 04:13 PM

Culpeeper for the loss.

Odd set up. 2 QB's and 2 K's?
