are you serious?

It was so lopsided that if y'all try that again, I'll ask that you two not be invited next year. I know it sounds like I'm upset, I'm not even a little bit. It just smacked so obviously of collusion. Good thing we have a good Commish (I'm sure Rob would've vetoed it too, so no dis on him).

But Tiki's a round 1 player and you think that somehow equals 2 guys who should be picked in rounds 4-6?

Yes. I was thinking of it more in points. As in the amount of points Tiki might normally get would be about the same or less as the amount of points Bell and Big Ben might get combined.

1st week Bell had 13.3, tiki had 14, 2nd week they were just about even also. Let's say Big Ben had played, it's pretty reasonable to say he would've scored at least 10 points, if not 15. From what I read Tiki is expected to score less fantasy points now that he's getting less goal line touches. To me that seems like a pretty fair trade. And considering that Herpivores is starting Culpepper and has no other QB on the bench in case things get ugly....

sorry, but you just can't compare Bell to Tiki. Even if he's only half the equation. Bell's only been in two games and Tiki's epic.

It's all about consistency. Tiki will consistently perform. Bell and (now that he's been smashed by a knee surgery, motorcycle accident and appendectomy all in a years time and will likely never be the same player again, particularly after the bike accident) Roethlisberger are uncertain.

Basically I rejected it because good RBs are fantasy gold. Our scoring system is pretty straight up so Tiki should be in the top 5 backs at the end of the year. M. Bell will likely be top 25 but so will T. Bell given the Denver running game. Shanahan is also known for hiding injuries, who is going to get the carries, etc so I typically avoid their backs in fantasy at least since Davis and Portis. Culpepper is killing me right now but I'll ride him through the Titans game and hope for the best. I'm not loving my QBs but Ben isn't the answer, and I'm a Steeler fan.

I want to say that Culpepper will have a great year!

(since I'm a die-hard DOLPHIN fan)

But we've just lost our third right guard this past week... Ya know, week two... three guards.
