Top Ten QBs
I'm going to do a little breakdown of the top ten players in the NFL at every skill position and I thought there was no better place to begin than at QB. Lets get right to it.
1. Peyton Manning- When it comes to consistency the discussion begins and ends with this guy. Based on stats alone he will certainly go down at the NFL record holder in almost every single statistical category for QBs, passing all the marks currently set by Mr. Favre. The guy has throw for at least 26 touchdowns every single year of his career and he has throw for 4000+ yards 10 of the last 11 years. A 95.0 career QB rating ranks second all time to Steve Youngs 96.8. Also name everyone in NFL history with at least 3 MVPs and a Superbowl, Peyton Manning and Brett Favre. End of discussion.
2. Tom Brady- Mr. Clutch. I'm not sure if there is anyone in the NFL I'd rather have under center when the game is on the line, he just gets the job done. Brady lacks in the number department a bit, but he makes up for it in poise, leadership, and reliability. Oh yeah, and 50 TDs in one season is pretty good too. Tom Brady is the current day Joe Montana, although not quite as good as Joe in my eyes, he's the closest comparision. He has been slipping a bit as a late with a blowout loss to the Ravens last year and a superbowl loss to the Giants in 07', but if I need a last minutes drive with the game on the line I'm taking this guy.
3. Ben Roethlisberger- With the best ever QB rating for a rookie (over 98) and two superbowl rings in his first 4 years, Ben has made his mark on the NFL early in his career. He's got all the physical tools and leadership ability to put a team on his back and carry them. Last year the Steelers had no line, no running game, and no defense and he still almost lead them to the playoffs. He needs to get his act together off the field, but he still remains an elite talent on the field.
4. Drew Brees- Finally got his ring and showed that he belongs in the discussion with all the great QBs in the game. This guy just does and says all the right things. I find it very difficult to root against Brees because of his character, integrity, and work ethic. The guy was left for dead after a shoulder injury in San Diego and the Saints were the only team willing to take a chance on him, and boy did it pay off. Lead the NFL last year in QB rating at over 109 and was the undisputed physical, emotional, and mental leader of the Saints, a team who formerly had no idea how to win. Drew Brees is a guy who you just root for and he never seems to let you down.
6. Aaron Rodgers- This guy may be the most talented QB in the NFL today. He has a big arm, he's very accurate, his decision making ability is off the charts, and he can run, also. The Packers look smarter every single day by giving him a chance and letting Favre go. This guy, barring injury, will be a top 5 QB in the NFL for the next 10 years. I look for him to get his first playoff win this year and lets face it, he should have won one last year but the D gave up 51!! It's pretty hard to put up 45 points and lose a playoff game.
7. Phillip Rivers- He is the heart and soul of the chargers. The defense was in disaray last year and the running game was average at best and all Rivers did was lead them to a 13-3 record and first round bye. This guy is so close to turning the corner and with a little more help he will win at least one superbowl before his career is over. Lets also not forget how tough his is. This guy played in the AFC championship game a few years ago with a TORN ACL! He's a tough, natural born leader and he's a fierce competitor.
8. Eli Manning- The guy never gets any credit and yet continues to do his thing year in and year out. He's got the same number of rings as his brother and last year he took a group of motley receivers and threw for over 4000 yards. He's improved his decision making alot of the last few years and has proven that he can win big games. I know the giants were 8-8 last year, but lets face it, how can anyone over come a defense giving up almost 40 ppg the last 8 games of the season? There are all the doubters and haters out there but I'll take Eli on my team any day.
9. Tony Romo- Proved he can win in the regular season, now lets see if he can win in the playoffs. Tony has alot of talent and does a good job of spreading the ball and utilizing the abundant talent around him. I always question how bad he wants to win and whether or not he has the "it" factor to win a the big one, but as far as numbers and winning in the regular season you can't argue his value. IF he ever starts winning in the playoffs he could be one of the really elite players in the league.
10. Donovan McNabb- He has slipped as he has aged, but McNabb is one of the great players of the last decade. He's a 6 time pro bowler and a fantastic leader. The only thing that has always been lacking for McNabb is that ever elusive title. Now that he's in Washington and surrounded by inferior talent it saddens me to realize he may never get there, but he still had a great career and should be commended for his achievements and for the class he has always shown in the face of adversity.

FTOPS Babyyyyyyyyyy
Before you get into this, Zack aka "CZ" aka "Wanna Get Slimed" aka "4 Pitchers" aka "Average Dick" aka "Fuck Money" Caldwell has made an elegant return to StandardBull highlighting his football picks this year. You should check it out, because just like Trey, he really has a feel for it.
Today is the first event of FTOPS action. It is a $216 full ring freezout. You start with 5k in chips and there is 750k in guaranteed prize monaaaay. I'm pretty excited to get into the FTOPS grind because I've never really played a full series before. I fully intend on winning all of the money.
Thanks to anyone dumb enough to still think I'm a winning poker player for investing in me. Let the run good begin...

Football Babyyyyy
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls...it is excellent to be back blogging. I know it's been a long time but with the arrival of football season and my beloved fantasy football league I felt as though I had to come with a post.
First off, I ran pretty hot to get the 2nd pick in the draft, however, I didn't keep it for long because I've been grinding the trade world hard. The first trade I did was send 19, 22, and 59 to Ryan for 5 and 45....then I traded 2 and 39 to Trey for 3 and 23. So I went from
2, 19, 22, 39, 42, and 59 to 3, 5, 23, 42, and 45
I really feel good about these trades and I think being able to get two elite running backs will be a huge advantage over field because I really don't think there are too many out there, especially in a half point per reception league. Either way, the league should be alot of fun and I really can't wait for the live draft. It's something new we're doing this year and it's gonna be a good chance for everyone to get together, hang, meet each other and have a good time.
Now I'm gonna pull a Matthew Barry and give my rundown of players and teams I love and hate this year....
LOVE:::
DeAngelo Williams- I know this may be a shock to some of you, but it's so quickly how we forget who the number one fantasy running back was two years ago. In 2008 he had over 1500 yards and 18 TDs. Last year through 10 games he had 986 yards and 7 TDs....extrapolate that over 16 games and he was on pace for 1571 yards and 11 TDs. The only thing that held him back was injuries, so if he can stay healthy he should have a big year. I hate how everyone say him and Stewart will split carries and they had the same numbers last year. The only reason Stewarts numbers got even close to DeAngelo's was because he missed the better part of 5 games, and during those games he was out or limited Stewart went nuts. In the first 10 games when Williams was healthy J-Stew had 465 yards and 6 TDs....during the last 5 games when D-Will was limited he had 589 yards and 4 TDs. Enough said.
Frank Gore- 5th rated running back last year and missed almost 3 games. If he stays healthy he has a chance to challenge for top fantasy RB this year.
Brandon Marshall- He's happy now and he has always had all world talent. He finally has a QB with a big arm again and we all see what he did with Jay Cutler 2 years ago. Yea Miami runs the ball alot, but when they decided to throw I think those 8 man fronts will give Marshall quite a bit of room to maneuver. I'll take a guaranteed 100 plus catches and 10 TDs any day.
Joseph Addai- Great guy in PPR leagues. Plays on a great offense and will always get his share of scores. Very consistent and Donald Brown did NOTHING when he had chances last year. Should be another solid and steady year for Addai.
Steve Breaston- Great hands and will get a lot of looks while teams focus on Fitzgerald.
Kevin Kolb- Ryan made a great point....kinda reminds you of Aaron Rodgers a bit doesn't he?
HATE:
Andre Johnson- Let me first say I do actually like him alot and I still think he's clearly the #1 receiver. However, it should be noted when Owen Daniels was healthy Andre averaged 5.4 cathes and 90 yard per game, but when Owen Daniels was out he averaged 7 catches and 109 yard per game.....just sayin. Plus he has a history of injuries and who knows if Matt Schaub will produce the same type of year this year that he had last year.
Larry Fitzgerald- Matt Leinart + Double Covered every play. Sounds kinda like what happened to Steve Smith. No thanks.
Jonathan Stewart- See DeAngelo Williams.
Hines Ward- No big ben for 6 games and another year older.
Vincent Jackson- Great talent, limited brain. Already out 3 games and talking about how he wants out of San Diego....I'll pass.
Steven Jackson- How many years in a row will this guy score single digit TDs and/or get hurt before people will quit wasting a top 5 pick on him. Talent-wise he clearly has it but on that offense even he can only do so much...
Anquan Boldin- Big difference in being single covered with Kurt Warner and double covered with Joe Flacco.
Tom Brady- Going to put up numbers similiar to Romo, Schaub, and Rivers and is going 2 rounds earlier.
Reggie Bush- LOL
Sleeper Teams:
NY Giants- Fell off the map the 2nd half of last year. I look for then to play more like their first half record of 6-2 this season. They have had all off season to correct the issues in the secondary and I think they have too much talent on the D-line to not be better agains the pass.
Panthers- Looked GREAT the last 3 games of the season under Matt Moore. Beat 3 quality teams in the Giants, Vikings, and Saints and if they can get off to a good start they always finish well. Great RBs and O-Line. If the D-line is even close to as good as it was last year the panthers are a playoff team. Plus as we all know, the worse people perceive them in the preseason the better they end up being...
49ers- Have one of the easiest schedules in the NFL, a very solid defense, and an offense that is finally set and ready to go. I'm interested to see what Alex Smith can do in a full year with a solid supporting cast like this one.
Tennessee-Finished 6-2 under Vince Young. Have the best running back in the NFL and fixed their defensive problems the second half of last year.
KC- Talent on both sides of the ball and they went out and got a touchdown machine and leader in Thomas Jones. Dwayne Bowe is one of the most talented receivers in the NFL if he can get his head straight and Jamaal Charles might be the next Chris Johnson.
Green Bay- They finally put it all together this year.
Overrated:
New England- Not even Belichick and Brady will be able to pull this one out. No Wes Welker, the defense from the 1992 Pro Bowl, and leading running back with fumblitis.
Saints- Superbowl hangover. Their severely overrated defense lead the NFL in turnover last year and I don't expect that to continue. They will have to win alot of games by outscoring the other team, which they can do....but it won't be a 13-3 superbowl year again.
Baltimore- Everyone's going crazy about Anquan Bolding being in town, but everyone forgets about the loses on the defensive side of the ball. Ed Reed is still the best safety in the NFL and without him the defense suffers alot. Plus, even with Boldin that offense still doesn't particularly excite me.
Washington- Not even a 6-time pro bowl QB has a chance in this offense. Plus their best player, Albert Haynesworth, doesn't even want to be there. People are high on them, but they won't be any better than a .500 team this year.
NY Jets- A second year QB who didn't show me much last year. A couple of knuckle head receivers who can't catch a cold. Got rid of not 1 but 2 high quality running backs....one of which had 1300+ yards and 14+ TDs two years in a two. And oh yeah, their best player, Darrell Reavis, is holding out. Sounds like a superbowl team to me.
I'll be back and posting regularly throughout football season and I'll probably touch on some baseball too as we get near the playoffs.
