Starting Stafford Over Brady This Week

[krulmichael]

if stafford does better than brady then it is a fluke lol.
if brady has a bad week stafford will only give you a few more points, id rather bet on brady having a good week and killing it for you.

So either way I'm screwed to you guys is what you're saying. Even if Stafford gets like 50 points this week, you guys will still bad mouth the decision. That's great, gotta love VSN. Never said I was starting Stafford for the rest of the season, lol. Guess we'll see what happens. I'm sure you guys are licking your chops to burn me a new one come tomorrow afternoon.

Brady > Stafford this week. ATL/NE will be a shootout.

Excellent move. I'm assuming you all forgot how Stafford hit 3 of 4 plates on Jimmy Fallon's late night show.

He also had the highest score at the combine in the keg squatting lift:

Man, I'm LOVING these comments. Because now if Stafford does prove to be the better choice...then what the hell's everyone gonna say? I can see it now..."Oh you got lucky" "It was a fluke" yada yada yada.

And after seeing that Welker AND Moss might be out this weekend, sounding even better to me. REMEMBER, I don't care if Brady has the better stats or what not this week, I'm going for the points here...last week Stafford had more points than Brady, but one could argue that Brady still had a better game...he simply didn't throw a TD which is always killer.

Anyways, loving the idiot accusations and what not, but hey, somethings gotta give.

LOL @ whoever said homer pick...really? Do you even know me? Homer for the Lions...bahaha

Brady is one of the best QBs in the league, Stafford is an unproven rookie. Stafford may end up doing better, but it's not likely. Starting Stafford over Brady is not a smart move.

and late in the first half...

Stafford 10/16 121yd 1TD
Brady 9/15 91yd

Oh look...Stafford got more points than Brady...I don't even give a shit that it was by 1 point (Stafford had 18 while Brady had 17). Kudos to me.

Oh yea....AND THE LIONS FUCKING WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Somewhere a packers homer is laughing cause he started John Kuhn over Frank Gore.

You don't get any Kudos, there was no reason to have Stafford n your team in the first place and theres a decent chance there was another qb who scored more and made more sense sitting in FA.

Taking a wild risk that yields you one extra point isn't worth it.

It's a 14 team league and Kevin Kolb is the only QB that even played this week that's in the FA's and yea, he got 31 points. Shit on my parade if you will, but Stafford did better than Brady 2 weeks in a row now. And Brady will be the starter next week again.

So again, kudos to me.

it was not even that wild of a risk. at the time of this post most people were under the impression that moss and welker both would not be playing. Brady was coming off a bad week, washington is terrible. Suggesting that somewhere some packer homer is laughing cause he started kuhn over gore is a terrible comparison considering that its not like gore had a bad week last week, or his whole o-line was hurt. he asked, made his pick of stafford and he was right thats all that matters shoulda, woulda, coulda dont mean shit. 1 point is still 1 point if its tight scoring like espn 1 pt can be a difference maker. if its loose like yahoo then no its not that big of a gain.

it's a dumb move no matter how you slice it. it's like drafting darrius heywad bey at number 7 overall.

tom brady starts every week for the simple reason that he can blow up at any week and throw for 5 TDs.

matthew stafford will never throw for 5 TDs.

the worst thing you can do in fantasy football is bench your stars the day they go off. sure you may make a right move here or there by playing the matchup, but if you make it a habit you will end up sitting your stars the day they blow up and you will be kicking yourself.

it was a one day thing against a terrible team comming off a weak brady performance are you people dense or what? nobody in thier right mind thinks stafford will beat brady any other day of the year, like i said when this was posted both moss and welker were supposed to be out. get mad he made the right move and it paid off.

Anyone who believes one point could be a difference maker isn't starting Stafford, and def isn't drafting him. There's a reason dudes owned in less than 10% of fantasy football leagues. It's also no surprise the only people in this in favor of the move are lions fans. And if he was on ESPN with the tight scoring Brady and Stafford would've both had 15 points.

Unless he won by a point. lol@you dipshits caring that he was right in what he did. Good for him. Who gives a fuck really?

If this is the case then why do you keep talking about it, why were you in the chatbox earlier posting things like this:

who is winning the fantasy game.....Brady or Stafford?

Brady has 3 ff pts and Stafford has 15

lol @ you caring, then calling me a dipshit for caring too. I'm pretty sure we both have an equal amount riding on his fantasy football game. GTFO out of here with that who gives a fuck nonsense.

It is a bit ridiculous that guys are getting so worked up about this. I mean, I blame me because really this was the only reason I posted this thread in the first place is because I knew I was gonna get all these comments that I'm a dumbass and stupid, yadayadayada.

[mgoblue2290]

Will you start Matthew Staffordchise next week?

[Tailback U]

i'm just sayin it's not the right move, technically.

good that it worked for you but i would never do something like that because there is way more risk than reward and that is what fantasy football is all about.
