Title: Bye week QB pick-up
Post by MordecaiCourage on Oct 16^th, 2004, 11:26am

Need a little help please. I have Manning on bye and my back-up is Garcia. Should I start him or try to pick up one of the following QB's?

Brees, Rattay, Leftwich, or Roethsberger

I swing towards Leftwich or Brees a bit, but not sure I'd get any real advantage over just keeping Garcia in there. What do you think?

I went with Leftwich and ended up with 1 point more than Garcia....but, I slept better for dropping Garcia anyway. Thanks

I know one thing, I would not go with Garcia. I would try to get Rothlisberger, Brees, Leftwich in that order.

When you have Manning, there is no need to even waste a roster spot with a backup. So after this week, I would drop whoever you pick up and carry more depth at WR or RB.

Garcia has been too inconsistent to start. I'd try to go with Big Ben. He seems to be getting better every week.

i say pick up rattay, they gonna be coming from behind...take a chance....300 yards and 2 TDs at least im thinking....if it is a bye week play it high risk!

I wouldn't use Garcia... I wouldn't even have him on my roster. Lefty faces a KC defense that still struggles to stop anyone. Brees faces an Atlanta secondary which is below average. Dallas and NY have played pretty well, so I'd be less inclined to use Big Ben or Rattay.

I'd go with Lefty.

Garcia only threw for 310 yards and 4TDs. Who woulda thunk it? :-X

Well, the advice wasn't terrible... Leftwich did have a very nice game. ::)
