Title: FLIP FLOP of "Experts"- PLummer & Mcnabb
Post by DOLFAN on Oct 17^th, 2003, 3:30pm

I am sick of these guys. These are the same guys that called PLummer a sleeper. After week 2 they say "I TOLD YA SO!" Now because of his injury they say "I told ya he was a BUST!" If ya own him I would get Beurline or trade him as he will have missed 5 games by then. He was off to a good season, but with Jake it's alway something. I still think when he plays he will put up solid #s. But they are talking week 12-13 when he gets back. By then most leagues will only have 1-3 regular games left. After this Brian Greise episode, who knows? I had him in 1 league, but no longer.
Mcnabb, they said top 3 QB. I agreed even without great WRs. SLow start...grab himup!!!!! Week 5 guy him 1 more shot. Now they say he is the biggest BUST this year. They say dump him for whatever you can get.
I'm not saying they are wrong, I'm just tied of they flip flop.
1 more thing. None of them have said they were wrong! Mcnabb has more issues than Plummer. Plummer proved to be solid, McNabb just sucks this year. Injuries are the major reason IMO.

I was VERY high on McNabb coming into the season. There was no reason not to be. He was fantasy gold in the first 10 games last season (leading ALL players in my money league). This season he was equipped with a real FB, more RB options, a ready-to-produce Freddie Mitchell, a speedy TE, and a "sure-handed" big receiver in Billy McMullen. He's in a funk right now. I compare it to Pat Burrell of the Phillies. He keeps working hard, doing all the right things, performing in practice, but stinking it up on the field. I'd still hold onto him though.

Plummer is a guy I liked coming into the season, but had some questions about. He's performed decently for me in the GBRFL2 (the only league I own him in), but isn't real consistent. The injury did take me by surprise. He's been a durable QB in the past and my biggest concern was his effectiveness in Shanny's system and the aging WRs (except for Lelie).
