But based on current ADP numbers, Griffin is the 12th QB being draft this month. Does that mean I want Griffin as my Fantasy QB1 to start the season? Nope. They also added a serious weapon, in Pierre Garcon, to a stable of already solid veterans ( Fred Davis and Santana Moss) and at least one impressive up-and-comer ( Leonard Hankerson). Based on Washington’s win over Buffalo, it seems like the Shanahans are going out of their way to tailor their offense to Griffin’s strengths. ![]() But do I want to bet my team’s success on Cutler getting the time he needs to get the job done? Eh, not so much. I realize Tice will be utilizing shorter drops and all I also realize the rest of the pieces are in place. ![]() So what did that unit do against Denver? They gave up six sacks, had a pair of false starts and were a major factor in the (admittedly Matt Forte-less) rushing attack’s 1.7-yard per carry average. In 2011, Pro Football Focus ranked Chicago’s offensive line 30th in pass protection. In case you haven’t been following along, Cutler was sacked a league-high 51 times (in 15 games) in 2010. ![]() Because it appears the O-line was somehow overlooked in the offseason overhaul. I realize Cutler didn’t even take the field, something for which we should all be thankful. Right up until I watched the Bears take on the Broncos in Chicago. The selection of Alshon Jeffery in April’s draft seemed to seal the deal. The addition of former Broncos teammate Brandon Marshall and QBs coach Jeremy Bates added to that vibe. Clearly the decision to ditch Mike Martz and promote Mike Tice to offensive coordinator was a sign the team understood Cutler needed some help. This in the wake of a series offseason moves all made to benefit the QB. Up until last week, I was looking for a very solid - perhaps even top-10 season - from Cutler. WHO WHOULD YOU RATHER HAVE: ELI MANNING or TONY ROMO!?!į’s Bob Harris’ Take: I’ve recently (as in after watching both the Redskins’ and Bears’ preseason openers) evolved on this one. The difference in points scored between the middle-round quarterbacks to the late-round ones will be minimal. And, while you’re waiting on your quarterback, you can add depth on your team, creating more overall value. After all, you can wait three or four more rounds and get someone like Carson Palmer or Matt Schaub. Overall, I’m not a fan of drafting either because of the cost you’d have to pay. He’s thrown for 25 or more touchdowns in every full season played, whereas Eli has done this in just three of his seven years starting. He was the second best Fantasy quarterback in 2007, only behind the record breaking Tom Brady. Tony Romo, on the other hand, has more upside. ![]() And the highest he finished was fifth in 2005, when quarterback competition, from a numbers perspective, was lacking. In standard leagues, he has ranked higher than 10th just twice in his career. Historically, Eli hasn’t been much of a Fantasy producer. Zachariason’s Take: I’m not a fan of early or middle-round quarterbacks, but if I had to choose between these two guys, I go Romo. To hear why a player should be picked higher than this other player is much more helpful. After all, looking at player rankings can only help you so much. I polled several Fantasy writers from a handful of different sites. Coke or Pepsi? Boxers or briefs? Athlete’s foot or jock itch? Everyone has their preference, but when it comes to Fantasy Football, the wrong choice could cost you a championship.
