Title: My only WDIS Question for the Week...
Post by Philly on Sep 8^th, 2004, 5:02pm

Who do I start?

Aaron Brooks vs. Seahawks

Joey Harrington at Chicago

I know that over the course of the season Brooks is probably the better choice, but I know Harrington started off strong last season and he is healthy. Brooks is a little dinged and also facing the tougher of the two defenses.

Any thoughts?

I don't see Harrington fairing well vs a Chicago D that will be better than last year, and may suprise. I think SEA vs NO will be a shootout, I'd go with Brooks.

Don't take too much heart in the fact that someone recommended benching a Detroit QB. The Bears are still finishing in the cellar of the Norris this year.

[smiley=viking.gif] - 10-6
[smiley=spank.gif] - 9-7
[smiley=lion.gif] - 7-9
[smiley=cantcatch.gif] - 6-10

GO VIKES!

p.s. Welcome to the GirdIron! ;)

Brooks is playing at home and speed will decide that game on turf. Also, Brooks will give you SOME rushing yardage and Harrington will not.

But maybe Bullwinkle (Sameold) has a point in that chicago is starting over, new coach, injured Azumah (starting CB last year), will Urlacher play/healthy?, new DLine,...........lots of question w/ the Bears team right now and prime oppurtunity for Harrington to take advantage.

LOL, I'm really bad about commiting to this type of thing so, very sorry about that. Rather, I just display my thoughts and rationales in hopes that it might help you make a better decision BUT,, for you Philster! I will come clean ands solid for yah and say that

(also BEEfore my decision is given ....lalala.....remember that SEATTLE is terrible away from home!!!!...lalalalala)

Take a chance, play Harrington!

Thanks for all the help, guys... I ended up going with Brooks and he was (marginally) better than Harrington - though neither was very good.

I have a 30-point deficit to overcome tonite in my money league. I still have the Carolina D and Steve Smith going, but my opponent has Mushy, so the outlook doesn't look good.
