This poll at the end of the article needs some serious skewing. Who the fuck would draft Aaron Rodgers over Rivers in fantasy (I do not care if you could get A-Rod a round later either - GB is going to be worse this year than last). Rivers was amazing last year.

GB is going to be worse than 5-11 6-10?

^^i saw that i was like what?

6/18/2009 7:15:06 PM

Haha - I took Tom Brady in the 1st round and Rivers in the 16th round last year. Would have won my league if my WR's hadn't been complete shit (TJH, Cotchery, and Chambers)

6/18/2009 7:32:29 PM

I too was like WTF at first.

But keep in mind this is fantasy, and GB has a terrible running game, so Rogers throws more than Rivers and could get more yards. Plus they play the Lions twice a year.

I would still take Rivers in a second, but it's not the slaughter it looks like or would be in a real game.

6/18/2009 8:14:48 PM

yeah i suppose

rivers is arguably a top 5 NFL qb (didnt he lead the league in TDs last year??) behind brady and manning and probably brees but you're right, fantasy-wise, ASSUMING LT IS HEALTHY he might not be as good of an option

6/18/2009 8:16:44 PM

^ He led the league in TD's (actually tied with Brees), QB rating (by 10 points), 1st down %, and Yards per attempt.

And didn't make the pro bowl

that site is nice

I could see myself getting addicted to something like that

6/22/2009 1:24:45 PM

Ive been on it for a few months...want to buy up all the players i want for my fantasy team...figure it's only the beginning of this and over time it should go up as it becomes more popular......it would be funny to see priv owners all be ncsu fans...i tried voting up david thompson, mario williams, adrian wilson, jerico....i would like to own a piece of all of them

6/22/2009 1:31:36 PM

I just got into it recently as well. Its very addicting and will only get more so as more of my favorite players get introduced to the market.

Definitely will be trying to get RVRS and keep him in the Wolfpack family.

6/22/2009 1:33:32 PM

Lot of cash in Brady right now

This might deserve its own thread

6/22/2009 2:10:30 PM

It might be worth it's own thread...

Start the wolf web priv cartel......

Rodgers plays in a pass-first offense, and threw for a ton of yards last season. Rivers is in a run-first offense that was forced to pass due to a shitty defense and LTs injuries. With Merriman and LT healthy, Rivers' # of attempts, and correspondingly his yards and TDs are both likely to go down this season. Rodgers is certainly a justifiable pick if you expect him to improve as he should.

seems like people are SO divided on Rivers, not sure why

7/12/2009 10:28:06 PM

He tosses floaters to his huge receivers in coverage because they're not fucking fast enough to get open on their own. If he waited, he would die. Also, throwing to single coverage in the NFL isn't considered "blindly throwing" last time I checked. Receiver always has the advantage.

7/12/2009 11:10:24 PM

^^ Where did that come from?

7/13/2009 2:20:18 AM

I think anyone who refers to receivers as gigantic catchers can immediately be ignored.

Not even 1/10th as bad as lebron getting dunked on at his own camp.

7/15/2009 3:35:56 AM

I don't know, I think this is the nail in the coffin. We can now conclude that Rivers is a joke as a QB and has just been fortunate enough to be surrounded by people who can make him look good for the last several years.

7/15/2009 7:41:41 AM

big fucking deal, he didnt throw a ball through a tire, but the kid did. OHMYGAWRSH PHILIP SUCKS, THE CHARGERS SHOULD SIGN THIS KID!

7/15/2009 1:33:40 PM

^Dude, I think Jaybee's post was in jest, as was the news "story."

7/15/2009 1:42:12 PM

I'm not talking shit to jaybee or anyone else in the thread, I'm preemptively talking shit to all the haters that this is going to spawn

we'll probably hear about this on Around the Horn and PTI this evening. Hell, its one of the cover stories on yahoo.com right now. The whole article ridicules Philip:

Quote :

"A high school kid? Really, Philip? That's totally not brahsome. Shoot, at least LeBron got dunked on by an NCAA basketball player. This kid -- Will Nunn is it? -- probably had to go home after the competition to practice vocabulary words for the SAT before taking the head cheerleader out for an early dinner at Applebee's. It should also be noted that unlike the old NFL quarterbacks challenges, the targets that Rivers threw at were stationary, making the tires like most of the receivers Rivers has thrown to over the years.

Lebron also got beaten in horse by a factory worker a couple years back.

7/15/2009 2:07:34 PM

its hard to deny the facts... cut the bum, sign the kid

7/15/2009 5:29:12 PM

This kid's going to break the single season QB rating record and the single season touchdown record.

If they had him this past year the chargers would have been #1 all of the QB stats rather than just most of them.

sorry philip but

7/18/2009 6:31:00 PM

what does maramalard mean?

7/18/2009 6:44:16 PM

Marmalard was a douchey character in Animal House. Deadspin named Rivers "Marmalard" after they decided that he was a douchebag. KSK ran with the nickname.

7/18/2009 7:14:04 PM

oh ok... I hate Animal House, it all comes together now

7/18/2009 7:41:13 PM

I think the marmalard character on KSK is funny.

Rivers is nothing like that, but who cares?
