1) There should be no trade deadlines in fantasy, cept maybe the playoffs.
We do it to keep one team from getting loaded with someone's best non-keepers.
Also, with that weakling Marshall sidelined by a measly collapsed lung, I need a new WR to pair with Tate. There's no one on the waivers better than my bench dudes.
Eric "FMQB" Decker
Martavis "where have all my TDs gone" Bryant
Cecil "Eat My" Shorts III
Andrew "Second Banana" Hawkins
Marquise "Jacksonville Pussy" Lee
Stedman "who the fuck is that" Bailey
Next week is brutal ...
Wilson and Lynch play Frisco
Tre Mason, Stedman, and the Rams play Arizona
Gronk plays Miami
It's down to Decker if NYJ's offense goes with Vick. If Geno's starting, I'll be forced to go with Cecil or Marquise since they're going against the Ravens.
Week 16, if I get that far, my matchups aren't bad except for Wilson and Lynch at Arizona.

Ryan Leaf, Jamarcus Russell, and Johnny Manziel. Those three names seem like they go together for some reason.

Why not? The other two dozen QB changes before worked out great.
In other news:
Standard league playoffs, round 1: I'm eeking out a win because of the Rams defense. Do not fuck with them. Demarco, Luck, and the Rams are carrying me because Al Morris, Jarvis Landry, and Mike Wallace phoned it in.
Catt league: The second half of the two-week curbstomping continues. Slated out outscore opponent by nearly 100 points.

God help me, with Harvin out, I guess I'm going Decker to replace Marshall. Just fuck.
Up by 30 points in the standard league playoffs. Opponent has Randall Cobb. Think I suck. That would make me, the #4 seed, the only favourite to win this week. #1-3 all lost.

Beats the fuck out of any Cleveland QB in recent memory not named Kosar.

I 100% agree. But the fact of the matter is he is statistically one of the worst QB's in the league. All Hoyer had to do yesterday was play average and they win. The defense dominated the best offense in the league for 4 turnovers and 2 TD's not much more you can ask for.
While I admire Coach's commitment to veterans that work hard, he blew it yesterday. No guarantee that Manziel wins that game but he couldn't have done any worse. He owed it to the rest of the team to give them a chance to win, you could see in the first quarter Hoyer was off his game, by far the worst he's ever played in Cleveland.
Brian has succumb to the pressure and I really like the guy, I wish Johnny had his work ethic and maturity. The fact of the matter is Johnny is a much better talent and gives the team other options. Coach must not like Johnny because he's not showing that he wants the job, he's going to Cavs games in the middle of the week, partying and such. Hell, he didn't even show up to the game yesterday until 11am! only 2 hours before the game!!! Dude has had every opportunity to take over this team and he just refuses to grow the fuck up.
Even after all that, you gotta put Johnny in. Its a bottom line league and bottom line is you gotta win, Johnny just gives them that more than Hoyer does right now.

Highest scoring? Yes. Best? No. Look at the shitty, shitty teams the Colts have been playing.

Cleveland's defense played lights out yesterday and Hoyer in his biggest game absolutely shit down his leg. It's time for Johnny
That defense gave up the game winning TD. I'm not piling on, just pointing out that it's a team game.
I think Hoyer is just becoming a scapegoat, and honestly, we all knew this was going to happen. I think they should give up on the season now and just start Manziel. At least they can get an idea about his talent level and see if they need to go after another QB in the next draft.
You're NOT winning a Super Bowl, so why fight to get into the playoffs?
Personally, I think Manziel is a very talented player, but his ego and attitude are going to keep him from being great. I also still believe him to be a chucker who got helped out a LOT by Mike Evans at A&M, and by the fact that SEC defenses are vastly overrated.
Jeff Fisher has the last laugh.
Total low blow, but comedy gold. Love it. Snyder shouldn't look at it as an insult, but as a motivator to stop making stupid moves.
Look at the Buckeyes. Third string QB pastes the #2 ranked defense in college football (a fact NOBODY has brought up). These college systems are generating false stars. Sure, these kids have talent, but the system they're in is making them look like world beaters when they're not actually NFL good. Remember JaMarcus Russell? Remember RG III? Remember all the kids from every run and gun team that put up MASSSIVE numbers and never panned out in the NFL?
You don't trade 3 first round draft picks for a guy who thrived in a specific system.
Stay classy, New Orleans. Fucking bitches.
I'm torn. Totally classless, but it was Cam Newton...
Raiders hating on Frisco. Tough talk coming from a team with, what, 2 wins?
Yeah, but one of those came at the expense of the 49ers. I agree with him in a way. Kaep is overrated. Harbaugh is going to take all the blame for this season, but management and Kaep should take a lot of the blame too.

I'm sorry, we're not the Steelers and get into the playoffs every single year. For Cleveland the playoffs ARE the Super Bowl. The fans would just enjoy that so much.
Remember, this was a team that some national publications were predicting 1 win before the season!! It has been a successful season so far if you look at it from that point, but losing a bunch of games at the end of the season would really undermine what little success they did have.
I disagree with your point of not trying for the playoffs. By all means, they need to sell out no matter what to try and make the playoffs.
I'm sorry, we're not the Steelers and get into the playoffs every single year.
We don't make it every year.
I don't mean this is a bad way at all, but I find it interesting to see how different fan bases determine the success or failure of a season.
I disagree with your point of not trying for the playoffs.
I'd like to point out that you disagree with my point, but you're saying they should do exactly what I said.
I didn't say for them to tank games.
