Are there no other quarterbacks?!: The Fantasy Football Geek Blog

Are there no other quarterbacks?!

Apparently there are no quarterbacks left on free agency with ANY football experience. None. Zip. Nada. Well, that's the message I'm getting after reading about the Patriots decision to bring 43 year old Vinny Testaverde out of retirement. Maybe I'm being a little unfair, I mean he's only going to be the fourth-string QB on the team, but still... Vinny Testaverde?! He'll be "playing" in his 21st season in the NFL and has never won a championship, so maybe Patriot management feels bad for him and figures he'll have a decent chance at winning one this season. In case you were wondering, this has no fantasy impact unless your league awards bonus points for having senior citizens on your bench.

Sell High, Buy Low: Trade ideas for Week 6 2008:
- Tim: Just reading this post now and Matt you mentioned my 2 RBs (Jacobs and LT). This is a deeper league (14 teams) where some teams have gaping wholes to fill and my team just so happens to need some quality WR. I agree Turner is emerging into a top 5 monster back, but I'm...
- Matt: If he's going to give you Turner for Jacobs, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Turner's an elite RB so far and I see no reason to believe he won't finish in the top 5 overall at the position. Jacobs' carries in the past three games: 15, 14, 15. Chances are, that's what the Giants...
- Ali: sorry didn't give you the full picture. I have Addai, Jacobs, Forte, Fargas, McClain, and Sproles. I have a guy who might be open to pulling the trigger on Jacobs for Turner, would you do it? or would you rather go with Jacobs for Jackson? thanks guys!
- Brandon: @Ali: You might try to pawn Jacobs for Steven Jackson at this point. While Jackson was probably taken a round ahead of Jacobs in the draft, Jackson only has one touchdown this year and is underperforming. He's gotten plenty of carries over the past two games though and is used in the passing game too...
- Matt: There's no way you'd get Turner for Jacobs. Are you sure you want to trade Jacobs when you only have two other RB?
- Ali: I have Jacobs and I would like to trade him. What do you think about a trade for Turner? He gets more carries than Jacobs. If not turner what other RBs do you think I could get for Jacobs at his level? My other RBs are Forte and Addai

What's with the green dot on QB helmets?:
- Anonymous: defence capt also has green dot ( # 51 leber -minisota vickings) so not iust qb have one . also you might mean only one player from each team can have a green dot
