Re: 2010 "Grade / Rate My Fantasy Draft" Thread

I clicked on two of these and both were "Previews" written quite awhile ago. Marshall is still listed in Denver and Vincent Jackson is a top 10 receiver. Sidney Rice is number 5 on one.

The author said of Fitzgerald:

"Fitzgerald retains the No. 2 slot in my early preseason rankings, but I’ll definitely cop to concerns about the retirement of Kurt Warner and the departure of Anquan Boldin."


Come on, man, don't bullcrap us.

Hope you are riding Larry into the playoffs. So far after one quarter Anderson is 2/5 for 4 yards LOL...

If you want to be lazy about it and just click on a couple that's up to you. I gave you the references you asked for...much more than you asked for.

Re: 2010 "Grade / Rate My Fantasy Draft" Thread

People can never just say they are wrong anymore.

There is not a planet on which Fitzgerald is a top 5 WR with Anderson at QB.

So, what. How does that change the other twelve that all rated Fitz as a Top-5 WR in pre-season during the summertime, which is what my statement was. And, if you want to do your own research, there's another dozen that back it up.

I already showed where Arizona's Coach said that Kurt Warner stopped throwing passes downfield beyond 20 yards early last season and as a result, Fitz lost over 400 yards from the year before. Even though he lost 400 yards, he still finished as the #2 WR last year. I showed where FFB experts stated that they didn't believe that Anderson would be a dropoff from Warner as Anderson can make the throws that Warner couldn't last year, balancing out the throws that Warner could make that Anderson can't. I also showed where Fitz played better without Boldin, had more yards and more catches throughout his career.

I proved my point. I supported what I said about Anderson and Fitz, Dom.

Facts mean nothing to you, obviously. I'm showed you everything you need and you want more. End of subject.

This isn't some stupid trial that you're working on. I gave you plenty of evidence to support your question. If you want to ignore all of it, then be obtuse.

Re: 2010 "Grade / Rate My Fantasy Draft" Thread

Current rank in NFL for Mr Fitzgerald:
Receptions - 48
Receiving yards - 46(t)
Receiving TD - 11(t)

He has a ways to go if he is going to end in the top 5.

Re: 2010 "Grade / Rate My Fantasy Draft" Thread

The correct comp, IMO, for Fitzgerald w/ Anderson (and/or Max Hall) as his QB is Randy Moss in "the Oakland years."

Code:
2006: 13G / 42 REC / 553 YDS  / 3 TD
2007: 16G / 60 REC / 1005 YDS / 8 TD
Fitz seems to have a better motor than Moss does, so he might see some added "hustle" benefit to his numbers, but I'm not sure that's enough to make him even a Top-10 WR. I think he continues to struggle until he gets a QB that is passably accurate.

FWIW, here are the WRs who were taken ahead of him in my league:

Randy Moss
Andre Johnson
Calvin Johnson
Reggie Wayne
Greg Jennings
Roddy White
Miles Austin
Brandon Marshall

Yeah, you posted links to fantasy rankings that were years old.

And dude- Brandon Marshall doesn't play in Denver.
