Rob Fisher in Dawg Pound Daily has more bad Fantasy Advice relating to Cleveland Browns players.
He was ok on TRich, as he recommended him as a second-tier backup type. In view of his injuries etc., that was logical.
But after that, he felt that everybody else were a buncha bumbs.
If his projections are accurate, Jordan Cameron will go undrafted. I simply can't fathom this, since--just how many tight ends are even big-play recievers!? They really don't grow on trees, you know! Certainly, based on history I could find a few tight ends I'd trust more, but...undrafted? Really?
I mean, I can see waiting til later because you're worried about his health, and because he hasn't proven anything yet, but to avoid him--that's just crazy.
He thinks Gordon will go in the lowest rounds. He'll only miss the first two games, and he's THE deep threat in Norv Turner's offense. What has he done to be called a mediocre afterthought?
Here's a clue: This guy said that Little has struggled mightily with drops "since he came into the league". Here's another memorex moron who doesn't bother to separate seasons into portions to gauge improvement in second year players.
So it's not dumbassitude. Just laziness.
Of course he predicts that Weeden will go undrafted. I can kind of see this, I guess, since despite Norv Turner, TRich, the recievers, and the offensive line, he could still concievably manage to be crappy.
And here I could tick off Ryan, two Mannings, Brees, Rodgers, maybe Newton, the three new guys from Weeden's draft; they might score a lot. So I can see Weeden rated low in fantasy. But undrafted?
Anyway, this guy has sold me on Fantasy Football. I'm going to scoop up some touchdown machines dirt cheap and take this guy's money.
Pat Kirwan and Tim Ryan don't quite agree on the AFC North. Pat defaults to the Steelers being back as good as ever because...
T-Rock makes his case with the Steeler fans who dominate the call-ins by asking questions:
Who is your deep threat? Who is the underneath mismatch guy? How can Heath Miller catch passes when he has to help overmatched left tackle Mike Adams pass protect? How old is he, is he healthy, will Polumalu be better or worse than last season, will Big Ben play 12 or 13 games, do you really think Bell is all that, who's the new Casey Hampton, how old is Woodley...
Pat keeps repeating "next man up" as the answer to all of this.
It's true that that front office has done an incredible job of finding real talent in the middle and lower rounds, and then of developing it. But it's not magic. It's not perfect, or eternal. You keep drafting low for year after year, and eventually the next man up isn't a very good player.
Ozzie Newsome-the bastid--narrowly avoided a big step back this season as he lost some serious talent. But of course he pulled a rabbit out of the hat and the Ravens have to be considered favorites in the AFC North along with--yes---The Bengals.
But this crap with the great and awesome legendary Steelers is getting downright silly. They got Jarvis Jones who yes, is an upgrade over Gramps Harrison, but everybody else is a year older. They got a very good safety just in time for Troy's wheels to come off for good.
They got Bell, a good but unspectacular big running back, and from last season they got an exceptional, potential Fanika-type guard in Castillo. But they've got a right tackle playing left tackle, a beat up aging quarterback...
Nevermind. Nobody listens.
Nice move getting Moffit. He's nothing special, but is competent and reliable. There's an outside chance that this former third round pick could blossom in his fourth season with the change of scenery or something, but if not he's at least an average interior lineman.
Chud said that he'd be competing. He meant it. He won't start unless he really is better than the Viking kid.
Don't count the kid out.
