Flacco vs. Newton

grabbed Newton at the end of the draft and Flacco in rd 6. I really thought Flacco was at the top of the second tier of qb's and would put up consistent #'s. Newton was a homer pick.

I fake-started Cam in week one and switched to Flacco at the last moment just to mess with opponent. I planned to start Flacco all along. And when Flacco posted strong #'s I looked like a genius..... until the AZ game and Cam's performance.

In week two I seriously thought about starting Cam but GB defense and what I thought would be a good matchup for Flacco kept Cam on the bench again, and I lost points again.

I said to myself then that I was a fantasy believer and that Cam was my starter. But I'm having second thoughts again. Flacco is facing a tired, injured, discouraged STL defense coming off a short week. He is again in a postition that he has to prove himself and I think they will call a bunch of downfield plays.

Any opinions?

I'm 1-1 in a short regular season and only 4 teams go to playoffs in a 16 team league. Which means there is verrry little help on FA wire. I don't want any more losses! I'm getting trade offers like crazy for Cam but have put him off limits.

I don't think you can sit Newton. He will eevntually come back to earth a bit but I think you need to start him especially at home against a team that doesn't appear to be very good.

I don't think Flaaco is going to have Lee Eans to stretch the field right? I think they lean on Rice and their TE's this week. It could go either way but I wouldn't hestitate to start Newton over Flacco this week.

The jags D had a good showing against the Titans in week 1 but have been shuffling a lot of players. I just think everyone assumes it will be the jags week 2 D against the jets that will show up on Sunday and I'm not completely sold on that.

And Evans does look like he will sit.

You think you've got it bad?

I've got Cam and Aaron Rodgers to decide between each week.

Went with Cam last week, and was glad I did. Going with him again this week too.

Cam over Rodgers last week? Just didn't want to "cheer" against the Panthers or what? Good call with hindsight and all, but crazy IMO.
