Well done Johnny Baseball, I'm actually impressed. Johnny Baseball has turned into the McRib of this blog. He comes back for a limited time only and then disappears for six months. Either way, here are my top 10 fantasy football QB's for the upcoming 2012 season. And if you think this is the same exact list as Johnny's then you definitely don't read this blog too often. I have one surprise in there for you that most will be shocked about. Here we go...
9) Matt Ryan: Again, not huge on Matty Ice but this dude is surrounded with playmakers. Roddy White, Julio Jones, Tony Gonzalez and even Harry Douglas isn't too shabby in the slot. The only thing to look out for is that Atlanta likes to run the ball a lot. With Michael Turner back there you can understand why, but there needs to be more balance. Ryan's not a bad mid round pick, but he's nothing spectacular.
8) Michael Vick: Speaking of weapons, the Eagles have those. The problem here lies with Vick actually staying on the field. One full season in his NFL career should tell you something. He could be making big time plays and putting up big time numbers for you. But he could also be having you wishing him deathly ill once he gets hurt. It's your pick but proceed with caution on him.
7) Tony Romo: Even though I hate this dude I will say that he will put up consistent numbers on a weekly basis. Sure, he'll throw his picks but he has a stud tight end, two stud receivers and a guy named Demarco Murray taking the pressure off him. If the offensive line can protect him and keep him on his feet, he's definitely a solid fantasy QB.
6) Eli Manning: Am I biased because I'm a Giants fan? Maybe a little bit, but you know what you're gonna get from him. He's gonna throw for over 4,000 yards and he's gonna throw 30 touchdowns. The Giants are gonna run the ball and open up big plays for Nicks and Cruz off the play action. He's a model of consistency and he stays on the field.
5) Cam Newton: Surprise, surprise mother fuckers! Cam Newton is number 5 on this list for many reasons. One thing I don't wanna hear about is a sophomore slump for him. Let's begin, he threw for more yards and touchdowns than any rookie quarterback ever. That's 4,051 yards and 21 TD's to be exact. Yes, I realize he threw 17 INT's but he was a rookie, what do you expect? Also, he's going to run the ball and get you some rushing TD's. I don't expect him to score 10 rushing TD's again, but I'm going to say he's running in between 5 and 8. Also, whatever the "IT" factor is this kid has it. The way he approaches the game and the way he carries himself is something you have to love. I don't care what anyone says about him, he's going to be a star in this league for years to come. The ceiling for him is unlimited and when you draft him you're gonna be happy you listened to me.
4) Matthew Stafford: Last year he proved that his shoulder is made out of something other than vagina and he threw for over 5,000 yards and 41 TD's. Plus he has an absolute MANIMAL playing wide receiver for him and they throw the ball more than any team in the league. I do expect the numbers to come down just a little, but he'll still have a great year if he can remain on the field again. I really like Stafford this year.
3) Drew Brees: I'm really not worried about Sean Payton not being there. If you think he's not sitting somewhere pullings strings then you're out of your mind. If the hot dog vendor came out of the stands and ran a route Brees would throw it to him. He's still gonna be slinging the ball to everyone all over the field and he's gonna throw for a lot of yards and a lot of TD's. Plus he's playing with a massive chip on his shoulder because of this whole bounty gate thing.
2) Tom Brady: Shocking that Tom Brady is this high on this list right? Yeah, he's going to be throwing the football all over the field and add to it that New England has the easiest schedule in the NFL. I still have no idea how that happens but Brady is going to be hitting Lloyd, Welker, Gronk, Hernandez and everyone else on the field for TD's all year long. It's going to be a nightmare for defenses to face him.
1) Aaron Rodgers: Another shocker here. I literally watched Aaron Rodgers carry teams to fantasy football championships last year. He was good for at least 30 points every week and he doesn't turn the ball over. Plus he'll get you some points with his legs as well. I haven't seen a dude like this in my lifetime, if he's not the number one pick in most drafts I would be in total shock.
Stay Away From: Ben Roethlisberger, Matt Schaub
Be Careful With: Peyton Manning, Joe Flacco, RG III (or Bob Griffin)
Sleepers: Jay Cutler, Carson Palmer
