Title: Chargers - Brees blows in, Flutie out!
Post by StegRock on Nov 7^th, 2003, 5:45pm

Here's how it reads atop "The REAL Feed":

Flutie replaces Brees as Chargers QB
NFL.com (07.11.2003 16:58)
Doug Flutie will start at quarterback for the San Diego Chargers against the Minnesota Vikings, replacing the ineffective Drew Brees.

And, here is the report from the Chargers' official site available on "the Gridiron Newsstand":

Are you kidding, sk? Flutie is well-known for his ability to spark a team, moreover a bad team, to victory and is a VERY interesting play this week against a 30th-ranked Minnesota pass defense. Brees was, on the other hand, spiraling downward into oblivion. [smiley=downthetubes.gif] The Flutie we have all come to know = fantasy friendly; '03 Brees = fantasy ugly.

I hope you are right. I have boston and it will take nothing short of a miricle to help him.

sk, with Flutie's starting (over Brees), I think Boston's value goes up. He might just start producing some good #'s on a consistent basis now. [smiley=yes.gif]

I banked my Viking analysis [smiley=crystalball.gif] on Flutie playing.

As Steg said, he can really spark a team.....BUT NOT THIS WEEK! ;D

Here's the current bead on "The REAL Feed":

Brees back as Chargers starter
NFL.com (12.12.2003 17:26)
Drew Brees won back his job as the Chargers' starting quarterback, sending Doug Flutie to the bench despite leading San Diego to two-thirds of its wins this year.

Here is the "official" report from the Chargers official site available on "the Gridiron Newsstand":

http://www.chargers.com/news/headline_detail.cfm?news_key=1555.

It will be interesting to see where both of these guys' "futures" go!

This change at QB could & most likely will have the reversal affect on Boston's fantasy value. Therefor I am benching him in favor of Wayne this week.
