High on Carson Palmer

Someone’s definitely high on something.

I got rivers in the 7th rd. Guy makes me a little nervous so I’m looking for a plan b off the waiver wire. Any qb u see as a sleeper that could make a difference?

You don’t even have to read the post…just read the title.

He is a) not likely to lose his job
b) going to have some rushing yards, which bumps up fantasy value

You can debate whether he should be 13 or 16 or 19, but those factors mean he should not be drafted lower than that.

i love RGIII, but he is going to have a rough year.

He probably won’t put up the same numbers. That kind of precision would be hard to achieve. My projection is for very similar rate passing numbers (looking at young breakout comps), and some regression in his rushing touchdowns, but slight improvement in pass td and int.

Meaning you wouldn’t project them that high?

I think I’m actually lower than consensus there, by the way. I’ve seen RG III at QB #13.

I like Cutler. Concern is raw number of attempts playing for Chicago, especially with other top QB’s averaging 35-40. My projected YPA is an increase on last year.

The offensive environment with things like how they call illegal contact and protect QB’s has made the numbers increase.

TIER FIVE

11. Carson Palmer, Oakland (21.0)
12. Peyton Manning, Denver (20.8)
13. Andrew Luck, Indianapolis (20.5)
14. Jay Cutler, Chicago (21.0)
15. Philip Rivers, San Diego (20.5)
16. Robert Griffin III, Washington (20.4)

GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE.

Not just last year alone. It’s been becoming a QB driven league for a while IMO.

Cutler should be in tier three IMO.

The fact that he has no offensive line doesn’t help. I do think Eli will outperform the others in his tier.

Lisk do you think QBs put up obscenely high numbers last year due to the lack of defense brought on by the Lockout, or last year becoming the norm for QBs?

Can I get just a brief, 4-5 sentence Lisk rationale for Cutler? I don’t disagree or agree because I honestly have no idea what to expect from Jay.

Cutler should be in tier three IMO.

Lagalize it!

There’s a difference between “doesn’t run like Marino or Manning don’t run” and not Michael Vick or Cam Newton. Luck will get rushing yards, as many young QB’s do. Guess? 15-20 per game on average with a couple of TD’s, with some games where he crosses 40 on scrambles.

[Luck] is a real head scratcher. They’ll play from behind a lot but he’s still a rookie that doesn’t run.

Well, do you get points for tackles?
