Answer 1

Since you answered my question so well, I shall reciprocate. I get the sense you are a big Bucs fan, or at least think they are going to have a good year. You picked their defense and Simms as your #1 QB, and advised I try to acquire Mike Clayton.

Edge is a great pick, even with the question marks with the O-line, etc. He'll put up numbers, maybe not quite what he's done in the past, but well worthy of a #1 RB.

Chad is a fantastic value in rd. 2 as he could be the best WR in the league.

Deuce is a little bit of a stretch in rd. 3, but still a great "sleeper" pick. I don't buy into the Bush hype. Yes he's amazing, but I think his impact will be minimal to mediocre this year. Deuce is too good (if he stays healthy) not to put up some #'s.

I'm not a Plax fan, mainly because I'm a Steelers fan and saw first-hand a punk with a big ego and no motivation/work ethic. He could prove me wrong if he wants to, though.

Ahman is a terrific value in rd. 5. He's healthy again and could be a monster. Should at least be a good #2 or 3.

Joe and Isaac are getting old, so they are risk/reward picks. I give both a thumbs down, but hope they still have a little left in the tank (esp. Bruce since I got him too.)

I've had Chris Brown before. Good luck man. He should have been great, but he gets hurt if the wind blows and I hear his work ethic is angering the team. There were (apparantly unfounded) rumors that Travis Henry might start the 1st game.

Porter is your worst pick. I think he's gonna get T.O.'d by midseason. He doesn't want to be there and they don't want him there. Plus his new QB is horrible.

Simms as your #1 QB is rough. Maybe you see something I'm missing, and I do think he will probably do so-so, but I see him as a 2nd QB at best, and that's a stretch. Leftwich is comparable.

Randy McTouchdown is underrated and is a good #1 TE.

Good D

Givens is OK

Troupe is a steal in the last round. He could be better than Randy.

Overall grade; C+

Then again, like I tell my buddies, I never make the playoffs, so you probably shouldn't ask me for advice. I don't necessarily know what I'm doing.

Answer 2

I don't like Duece because he's splitting time with Reggie Bush. Ahman Green is a decent RB. James won't repeat last years stats. Overall your RBs are a C+
Your team's strength is at the WR position. Johnson will have a monster year and Buress will improve on last years stats because Eli Manning has improved. Joe Horn will rebound from last year with a good QB and a Saints potent offense. McMichael is an underrated TE. Overall your WRs are a A+
Chris Simms is a solid player but he throw for no more than 17 TDs. Tampa Bay likes to win games in a ugly manner. With defense not offense. Leftwich is a good pick because he can run too. Overall your QBs are a B.
The Tampa Bay D is good and your kicker is a kicker so who cares.

Your Overall Team is a B.

I predict you'll finish 4th or 5th. Improve those RBs.

Answer 3

RB-I don't trust James, but only because I think ARZ will be throwing alot. I like the MCallister pick, Bush is way over valued. Green is an excellent pick in that slot.
WR- Johnson is a great pick here. Plaxico Burress should get a lot of catches. Horn is a good mid-round pick and Bruce could have one more great year in him. I probably would not have drafted Porter, at least not this high unless their were no WR left. Givens is supposed to be the #1 in Tennessee, but I do not see him having a large impact.
TE- Troupe is the great value here. Very athletic and will catch a ton of balls. I would start him over McMichael, as I think he is a blocking tight end at best.
QB- Two young QB's, Leftwich may prove to be the better one. Not great, but serviceable. Would like to have seen a little better quality here.
D- Can't go wrong with the Bucs
K-Brown isn't bad, but Seattle weather stinks.

Answer 4

1) edge in a cardinal systom is a joke they never do good with running game so hes a dump
2) Chad Johnson is a good pick if carson palmer stays healthy thats a watch out pick but i like it
3) Duece McCallister is not a good pick he will be sharing the load with bush and if bush does good then he might not play much and you have to consider the fact that he is injured alot
4) Plaxico Buress may very well be your best pick ever as of what you got he blew up last year and with eli growing and maturing just imagine how good that combo is going to be this year
5) Ahman Green if he stays healthy is a great pick being greenbay will struggle this year because of mediocer players
6) Joe Horn wow he can do realy great for you but the problem is i rarly see that guy healthy so i would dump him hes to much of a security risk
7) Chris Brown in an offence that has three good running backs thats a dump for sure and his average is for crap last year
8) Jerry porter is a good pick for a fill in when your two best recievers are injured or struggling
9) Chris simms Randy McMichael dump
10) Byron Leftwich dump injured to often
11) Your kicker defense are good
12) david givens i dont know much about
13) Ben Troupe dont know to much about him

Over all i would start your line up like this
RB Ahman Green, QB Byron leftwitch untill he gets hurt, WR Plexico Burress then Chad Johnson, TE Randy, Issic dont start that guy please what ever you do.

NOTE: this is subject to change depending on the team there playing for instence if the giants are playing the big bad defense of jacksonville you dont want to start plexico because chances are hes going to be smothered that just an example what ever you do stick with Ahman Green till hes injured as well as Plexico

Answer 5

Not too bad. The problems I see are:
1. all of your RBs are on bad teams. That will effect thier performance. They will likely score well, but they will not be dominant
2. CJ is awesome, Plaxico may do well this year, but everyone else is old as the hills
3. Leftwich.... I may be wrong, but I don't have much faith there

Answer 6

that's a trouble-free commerce. So it would be allowed to take place. No regulations have been broken. This jogs my memory of Chick-fil-A being blocked with the help of the mayor of Chicago. i admire Jon Stewart's remark....."rather constructive you may't outlaw a business company with completely criminal company practices, because you detect their CEO's perspectives repellent. not sure which modification covers that, although if that is probable interior the top ONE." enable's make a clean quote related to the commerce: "rather constructive you may't outlaw a commerce with completely criminal procuring and merchandising practices, because you detect their proprietor's physique of ideas repellent. not sure which rule covers that, although if that is in there." you may't in basic terms outlaw a commerce because you do no longer trust the direction of a team. that is not THAT undesirable of a deal.

Answer 7

Make sure that you are happy in the team and in the position. Thats what you have to ask yourself!
Looks good to me though as long as your happy that should be all that matters! good luck!

Answer 8

you need to pick up more RB's in your drop/add. If you have a keeper leauge pick up a rookie that will play this year. There are a few...

Answer 9

Nope, bad team.
