Makes me glad I have the Ravens D on my fantasy team. Let's see...12 sacks, 1 point per sack, 5 INTs, 2 points per INT means...I win teh leegee!

Elmo's got game, yo.

At least the Clowns are not the Lions.

That took a lot of. . . . .

I'm taking MN this week since they get Detroit. And replacing Manning due to his offensive troubles with Favre. I think I'll have a good week.

All hail Uberteamcooch Mangini von Schuhart!

Very courageous of them.

We still aren't buying tickets to Monday night's game.

Does this mean he has no chance of hitting 70% of the snaps now? Is that why they decided it was time?

brady quinn still plays football? huh...

I'll just leave this here. Best of the Quinn bunch.

/At least she was smart and married a Buckeye
//AJ has more courage in his pinky than Brady has ever seen.

Who should I start in fantasy this week: Baltimore against Cleveland, or Denver against Washington?


Decisions, decisions....

So does this mean that Quinn will be under whatever the percentages of snaps for his bonus?

Seriously, benching Quinn was retarded.

Damn, all these posts and nobody hating on the misuse of Ironic tag? I must be on /.

Morten Andersen is shunned to the sideline to retire despite being the most amazing kicker on Earth and yet Derek Andersen and Brady Quinn are still in the NFL.

It's maddening.

/Thankfully I'm a Steelers fan.
//Yay for 2 easy wins every goddamn year.

QBs and kickers have entirely different skill sets.

Why Would I Read the Article: Who should I start in fantasy this week: Baltimore against Cleveland, or Denver against Washington?

ravens.

Here's an easy Fantasy Football tip: Start Ray Rice this week.

Now, if I could only figure out my other RB to start this week. Chris Johnson or DeAngelo Williams...Decisions, decisions, decisions.

InferiousX: So does this mean that Quinn will be under whatever the percentages of snaps for his bonus?

Seriously, benching Quinn was retarded.

I believe Quinn needed to take 70% of the snaps this year to get his bonus, so that's out. A choice between a guy with an awful TD/INT ratio and a guy who won't throw more than five yards down the field, good times.

he was shunned after playing 45 seasons, the dude makes Farve look like a kid out there.

At least the Clowns are not the Lions.

***************************************

I think the Lions fans are glad they're not browns fans. At least they have a glimmer of hope at QB.

....and a coach that isn't universally despised by players and fans.

Is this a joke? Buffalo has the worst run D in the league, while ATL is slightly above average. CJ is the no-brainer start of the week.

I think this will be the most irrelevant Minday night game of my league's fantasy season. Heck, even the Lions/Rams game was more significant.

Going to Anderson at the time made sense. At the time it did. However I believe we'd still be 1-7 if we stayed with Mr. Courage all season long.

That looks like the HMS Courageous.

Going with him made sense at the time.

Staying with him after the first couple of weeks did not.

What Elmo might look like NSFW (new window)

hehe, just thinking that. benched for no particular reason seeing as his replacement was undoubtedly worse, then brought back as the starter as soon as it's impossible for him to get his bonus. much lulz.

First ever blacked out Monday nighter?

The Browns never should have been overly concerned with this season. What, you thought they were going to the Super Bowl? The playoffs, even? This year should have been about nothing but building a solid core and developing the young talent. That's exactly why jerking both QB's around like this is the worst possible scenario.

Here's an easy fantasy football tip: if you don't plug Chris Johnson in as a starter and leave him there for the rest of the season you shouldn't even bother playing the game.

TommyBahamas: he was shunned after playing 45 seasons, the dude makes Farve look like a kid out there.
==========================================

That's not the point. Even at 48 he was an amazing kicker with an accuracy equal-to or surpassing most everyone in the league.

But he was shunned to the sideline because he was old. Though, Favre was the same way. Waffled for a tiny bit because of retirement and GB threw him out to the bathwater SOLELY because he's old. If Favre was 33 and had waffled on retirement and came back, he'd still be in GB. I guaruntee you.

But shiate like Derek Andersen and Brady Quinn who will forever suck, are still in the league. Solely because they're young.

I understand teams that are in 'rebuilding' mode not going for an old guy. But jesus.

Browns will pull off the stunning win for this game. Mark down this thread #.

AFC North consists of three great football teams this year where all three could end up in the playoffs.

And then there's Cleveland.

I'm going to try and defend Mangini here for a second:

They started out the season with the young quarterback. Maybe their defense will play above their heads and they'll win some games! That didn't work out.

So they switched to their veteran quarterback to see if he was for real or just had one flash-in-the-pan season. Turns out he's just a flash-in-the-pan.

Now they're going back to the young quarterback for half a season. Quinn has eight games to show he can hang as a starter and win the job for the 2010 season. Otherwise, they can safely blow up the whole quarterback stable in the offseason and start from scratch next year.

It's not the best way to solve a quarterback controversy, but they have their answers, and like you said, it's not like they were going to make the playoffs anyways.

Ill read the whole thread next time.

Im prolly the only dork who recognized the ship.

George Blanda was 48 when he kicked his last FG in an NFL game (1975). John Carney (Saints) is 45. Jeff Feagles (punter, Giants) is ~43....

Steve Deberg & Vinnie Testaverde started into their 40's. but only their early-40's. I seem to recall Flutie was in his early 40's too when he retired....

being a 40+ year old QB that plays is undoubtedly more impressive than being a 45+ year old kicker that plays....

cheers

Do the Browns not have a third string quarterback? What's Tim Couch up to these days?

At 47 Blandas season quarterback rating was 95.8

He only tried throwing the ball four times that year, but still...
