Vick or Brees

I never thought I'd have this problem. I grabbed Vick right after his Week 1 breakout and he's been sitting on my bench racking up points. I offered to trade him but the best offer I got was Shiancoe on Minny straight up for Vick...glad I refused that.

Now my only problem is I've got Brees as my starting QB. I just can't put him on the bench, but Vick has been outscoring him by about 10 points each week. I think Brees is far more consistant but Vick has the potential to win a week totally on his own...who's the better play?

One of the classic rules of fantasy football...

you never bench your studs

People are going to start figuring out Vick...might not be this week, but it will happen. Philly's defense is stinking so they're being forced to put up serious points. It won't last.

i think you're good playing either.

guy in my league drafted P. Manning in the first round and then picked up Vick off waivers just like you. He wants to trade him, but no one is biting. the points put up by those two are almost the same in that league right now.

you did right trying to trade him. probably the #1 trade guy right now. sucks you didnt get any value for the offer.

Brightside: With Brees health in question, you are sitting nice with Vick on your bench. Hang on to him. Dont trade him for a TE. Brees might be hurt worse than anyone knows. Or, he might get hurt in the near future. Madden Curse and all. Of course, with my bias, i hope not.

Got a couple other offers today:

Vick for Vernon Davis

Vick for Hines Ward and Steve Smith

My starting WR's are MSW, Wes Welker, Larry Fitz. Guy with Vernon Davis has Anquan Boldin (who I'd trade straight up for Vick for the flex position)

I'm starting Vick this week. Panthers D has picked off a lot of passes between Eli and Carson Palmer, and Vick is playing a horrible Redskins D. Might be the only week besides Brees bye that I start him. I think I'm gunna hold onto him. My backup was Eli Manning and I just dropped him. Brett Favre is in the waiver wire if I need a backup...

    • We were bad for years before Bryce Young and it wasn’t like this. I didn’t like the Rhule hire, but I didn’t drag the board down every chance I got. I didn’t like letting Cam go and bringing in Teddy, but I didn’t make it my mission in life to make sure everybody who disagreed with me was berated into submission.
    • it's pretty simple IMO.  The Tepper Panthers are the most unsuccessful professional sports team in all of sports.  The problem isn't the posters here have changed ( I still content people falsely romanticize the old days).  The product dictates the atmosphere more than anything.  In reality, the daily convos about THE worst team in all of pro sports on a fanatics site....is going to feature harsh and critical convo.  Only one entity can actually change that.  It's the Carolina Panthers football team.  if you are the most unsuccessful professional sports teams (Tepper's Panthers are that).....and a place like this isn't filled with very critical thoughts? Well, you probably don't actually have a real fanbase IMO. 
    • Yes message boards will always include that sort of stuff… However, this place has been a cess pool since the team took Bryce Young over CJ Stroud. It becomes a problem when it is accepted and promoted, which it has been here (even by at least one mod). Many posters sole purpose on this board is to try to dunk on others for having different opinions. We just had one write a novella on how talking about Bryce Young’s game winning drives “needs to stop”…after a win. They don’t want real conversation. It “needs to stop”. There are many posters here who literally only show up after losses to dead thread and try to dunk on others about the QB (MRenshaw is an easy example). I really don’t see much of that happening the other way around. There’s too many people that would rather the team be bad so they can feel justified for constant doom and gloom and negative opinions. It’s been pointed out by many over the past couple years. This just isn’t a place to have football discussions anymore because of the constant hyperbole. If you don’t subscribe to “Bryce Young is the worst QB ever who can’t throw the ball further than 5 yards and is the reason why we lose any game we lose and doesn’t help in any game we win”, then you are labeled a Bryce Young Stan.
