Week 8 Discussion

[Two Cents]

Taysom Hill is what Tim Tebow really should have been. Tell me Im wrong.....

You're wrong.

Tebow was a horrible athlete. In college he could run over college-sized defenders. In the NFL, compared to all other NFL players, his athleticism was a 2 on a scale of 10. And because he was probably the 60th best QB in the league at the time he was in the NFL, his lack of athleticism resulted in him being a total flop.

Taysom is five times as good as Tebow was in the NFL, at any possible position.

#Tebowsucked

I didn’t say Tebow was as good or as athletic as Taysom. I simply meant that with Tebows pedigree the intention was for him to be what Taysom is. A gadget player. Tebow was a gadget player. Taysom is also a gadget player.

Do we need to worry about Adams? Damn, I just traded for him as the push I needed for my contender. I hope they get this figured out.

I 'd like to know how it's not intentional grounding if the player who was in the vicinity isn't credited with a target. LOL. Just kind of funny, to me.

Jimmy G looked almost as bad as Hoyer. Taking his recent woes into account, it was almost the kind of bad that makes you a permanent NFL backup going forward. Not just for the Raiders, but for any team. Jimmy looked d-o-n-e.

The Adams drop was actually a poorly thrown ball. It was surprising to see the drop because we're used to seeing Adams make that kind of tricky catch.

Back to Jimmy, there is no way he can be started again. If the McD starts Jimmy again, the rest of the team is going to stop trying. AOC may or may not be the answer, but it's a fact that Jimmy is not the answer.

What was Jimmy G's injury? Maybe he's playing at 75% like Derek Carr when he first came back earlier this season?

QB play is atrocious lately. The vet QB (and Richardson) getting banged up isn't helping. Rodgers, Cousins, Carr, Jimmy, Stafford. Then you have guys like Geno, Pickett, Love, Jones and Watson who are turning into 0s. Mac Jones ain't it. Neither is Russ, Ridder or any other backup QB cosplaying as a starter.

It's way too early and I didn't plan for this to be a Levis post, but he legitimately has a debate for top 15 QB after just 1 performance. So many of these younger guys haven't panned out lately aside from Stroud and Purdy

Jimmy had a back/neck injury, and coming back too soon could probably have led to weaker throwing strength. But it isn't only compromised throwing strength that's hurting Jimmy, it's bad QB decisions.

When Carr came back at less than full strength, he played smarter football than Jimmy G has this season. Sure, Carr had only 127 and 183 yards in weeks 4-5, but he also had two TDs and zero interceptions, and completed 65% of his passes. Meanwhile, a (possibly) physically compromised JimmyG threw for his ninth INT on the season (in only 6 games) and completed less than half his pass attempts.

JimmyG is just not playing smart football. Combine that with his diminished physical ability and his inability to stay healthy, and it's not painting a pretty picture.

I went into last night expecting my best team to lose a 2nd straight close matchup, as I was up by 3.5 and he had Adams left to play. Last week I just needed a few more points from Aiyuk, but he disappeared in the 2nd half after a hot start

Lost by 2 points last week, won by 1 point this week.

Maybe I need to explore more bestball leagues. This bleep is stressful lol

Fantasy is crazy like that. I had a 6 point lead with nobody left going into last night against my opponent's Adams/Meyers combo and somehow pulled it out. Still shocked.

[Lumps]

Gibbs had 11 missed tackles forced last night.

Gibbs had 12 rushes of more than 5 yards last night.
Monty has 20 on the season.

Monty also didn't get to play my Raiders D, with the offense being useless and keeping them out on the field either, to be fair.

I’m in 8 dynasty leagues right now. 3 of my 4 newest leagues are superflex TE premium ball dynasty leagues. One of them was actually a very stale league that we rebooted and re-drafted. I find these to be just as much fun if not more fun than lineup submission leagues. And for sure I’ve hit saturation point on the amount of leagues that I want to do waivers and lineups for.

Best balls are fun. I did one that was a BB auction it was wild.

I'm in one bestball league and I hate it. I think it's probably more of a specific league settings issue. Waivers only run once every four weeks or something. So that coupled with the fact that I don't need to visit my team to set a weekly lineup, makes it easy for me to neglect that team, and my roster reflects that.

I'm collectively 28-4 across my 4 dynasty leagues which are all 'managed' 12tm/PPR/SF leagues. But then my bestball team is 8-8 (weekly league median matchup), and still features Corey Davis, Carson Wentz, and Drew Lock. Idk I like it in theory, but it lends itself to being put on the backburner. Maybe I'll have to try one that requires more active management (regular waiver settings, etc.)

[wickerkat1212]

BB is all about the draft. Then it's typically set it and forget it.
