Spaceman Spiff 0 Report post Posted September 10, 2003 OK, so my top 2 QB's are Jeff Garcia and Tommy Maddox. Matchups: Pittsburgh Steelers @ Kansas City Chiefs San Francisco 49ers @ St. Louis Rams I think it's pretty safe to say we won't be seeing the defenses taking over these 2 games. These games could turn into a couple of shootouts. Who should I use? I'm leaning towards Garcia, but I'm really torn. Both could have big games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted September 10, 2003 I'd go with Garcia. The Chiefs' defence has a better chance of at least containing Maddox than the Rams' does of containing Garcia. I'm expecting an explosion in the Niners game similar to what they did against Chicago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Salacious Crumb Report post Posted September 10, 2003 Maddox is way more prone to mistakes than Garcia is and the 9ers have a more well rounded offense than the Steelers. Plus the Chiefs D are very much improved and it's hard to say what they'll do during this game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Tom 0 Report post Posted September 10, 2003 I guess I'm the dark horse here, but I'd go with Maddox. I'll believe KC's defense is better when they play against an offense other than Martyball. Maddox is a very accurate QB and he has three very good receivers to throw to. Also, don't buy the hype of the 49ers first-week offensive explosion. Yeah, they're good, but the Bears' defense is for shit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OldSchoolWrestling 0 Report post Posted September 10, 2003 Don't forget the KC crowd which like Tennessee did to Oakland will have an impact on the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WrestlingDeacon 0 Report post Posted September 10, 2003 Chiefs have the better defense and, if memory serves, don't usually play well in KC. Although Maddox has a lot of offensive weapons and the running game in Pittsburgh is not that great this year with Bettis about done and Zeroue not being allowed the opportunity to really break out. Maddox is going to be putting the ball up like Bledsoe that year New England was down to their 4th string running back (ironically, a dude named Pass). The Rams defense is ok and probably won't be as good as last year's improvement. I don't think Garcia will throw as often as Maddox, because I see Erickson trying to keep a fairly even keel with pass and run plays in an attempt to control the clock and keep his offense of the field. I think the 49'ers have the best chance of winning the game, but Maddox will probably put the ball in the air the most times. If you're feeling lucky, go with Maddox. If not, go with Garcia who has been one of the best and consistent fantasy qb's for years now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
starvenger 0 Report post Posted September 10, 2003 I've got my own question: Do I start Bledsoe (vs Jax), Brad Johnson (vs Car) or Jay Fiedler (vs NYJ)? Based on last week's Jacksonville collapse, I'm leaning towards Bledsoe and the pass happy Bills. Advice? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Salacious Crumb Report post Posted September 10, 2003 Bledsoe. He's playing an average defense and could easily put up a 300 yd. 2 TD game for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WrestlingDeacon 0 Report post Posted September 10, 2003 Bledsoe by far. Jacksonville will give him no trouble and he has tons of weapons this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HarleyQuinn 0 Report post Posted September 11, 2003 Bledsoe easy, Carolina's a tough defense and Fiedler doesn't pass as much with Williams now in the backfield. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
starvenger 0 Report post Posted September 11, 2003 I threw Fiedler in there only because he's my third QB, but thanks for confirming that I'm making the correct choice... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spaceman Spiff 0 Report post Posted September 13, 2003 OK, so I went w/ Maddox. If this turns out to be a horrible mistake, you better watch your back, DrTom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KingPK 0 Report post Posted September 13, 2003 I agree with Tom, actually. And for the reasons he stated, too. When you have guys like Ward, Buress and even Riemersma (as the TE option) to throw to, good things usually happen. I've got Maddox on my Yahoo team and I probably would have started him, except that I've got Gannon and he's playing Cincinatti, so...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
