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.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
