I drafted Luck on a gamble because of him coming off injury and Luck tore it up. Hopkins tore it up too. Nice. I forgot what round he went in that year. 2018 wasn't the best year for me in yearly fantasy. I think I did well on fanduel, but it wasn't my best year. Only won 2-3 league out of 34. I was doing 16 team leagues and it was a lot of hard work and frustration. I thought it would be easy drafting rbs early and making sure to get two qbs, but it turned out to be very difficult. Never did that again lol. 2018 was a fun year for the Colts. I was hoping Luck would be making a comeback to become a superstar. Never thought the next time we'd be that excited again for football would be in a few days in 2023. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect there to be struggles along the way, and even though I'm excited and hope he does well, I also know he's extremely raw and needs time to develop. The only thing that would upset me is if there's a bunch of injuries that make the team unwatchable. If we stay moderately healthy, I think I can enjoy the year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can master the deep pass and be moderately good at the short and medium game, then he can be very dangerous, especially with his size and scrambling ability. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VikingsFanInChennai Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 5 hours ago, Jared Cisneros said: The Lions were terrible on the road last year and great at home. I don't like their chances in Arrowhead tbh. I'm still waiting on Kelce, but I'm tempted to pick the Chiefs even if he doesn't play. @2006Coltsbestever btw, my waivers just came in in my $25 ESPN league, was able to drop Irv Smith for Dalton Schultz. Nice upgrade at TE for free. So you dropped Irv Smith before he dropped any catches. I think people have only generally viewed Lions from the outset, you're factually correct. Goff was great at home last year, like to the tune of 16 TDs and only few interceptions, but away from home I think he had more or about the same interceptions as TDs. And, Jamaal Williams isn't there to power through for multiple scores. I think Lions defense will look little better than their awful show last year, but Lions offense will need to pull a lot weight to win games, with new running game and same Goff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lions won at GB knocking Aaron Rodgers off and out of the playoffs in the final week. That shows me they are good to go with their 9-8 record. They lost a lot of close games too, they could easily go 12-5 in that division. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For that to happen, Goff will need to play consistently well away from home, which will be a huge change in his career trajectory. Since Caldwell era with Stafford, they have been always in play-off hunt, finishing the season on positive note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teganslaw Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 The Lions must have felt left out because nobody picked them to win. They showed everyone winning last night. Note to those who predict games: don't sleep on the Lions. Also, the Chiefs need to get better receivers. Patrick Mahomes must be frustrated. I think their signing Kadarius Toney might have been a mistake. He's injury prone and when playing, can't catch balls. Maybe he'll improve, but I have yet to see that. Skyy Moore was suppose to be top receiver. He was a dud in week 1. Andy Reid will probably have things to say in meetings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2006Coltsbestever Posted September 8, 2023 Author Share Posted September 8, 2023 I talked to my Step-dad (he is 71 years old) this morning regarding doing lists. His format when it comes to a top 5 QB of all-time is this: The QB at least needs to have won 2 AP League MVP's and 2 SB's/Championships as a starter to be Top 5 of all-time. League MVP because that shows how a great the player was individually and how important he was to his team winning, so it isn't just about Championships. SB/Championship wins because if a QB is truly great, he should at least win twice leading his teams. I kind of agree with this concept. It is the AP League MVP argument is why. The League MVP isn't a team accomplishment like winning a SB in which offense and defense, SP Teams is needed. See with the 2 AP League MVP's, QB's like Trent Dilfer, Brad Johnson, Jeff Hostetler, Doug Williams are after thoughts. Eli Manning, Ben Roethlisberger, Russell Wilson get eliminated as well from any convo of top 5 - I bring those guys up because some like to troll and say Dilfer won a SB, Marino didn't for example. It does however also eliminate guys like Terry Bradshaw, Troy Aikman, John Elway, Dan Marino, Aaron Rodgers, and Drew Brees. Elway only won 1 League MVP which is hard to believe. Rodgers only won 1 SB. Brees never won a League MVP. Bradshaw only won 1 League MVP, Aikman never won a League MVP. Marino never won a SB for that matter. His top 5 is: 1. Peyton Manning 2. Joe Montana 3. Tom Brady 4. Johnny Unitas 5. Patrick Mahomes He has Peyton #1 because he feels like Peyton changed the game being a Coach on the field. When Peyton got his 2nd SB win being about half of what he was, that sealed it for him. He said that made up for SB 44. He has Joe 2nd because he said winning 4 SB's in the 80's was incredible considering the stack teams that decade had with the Bears, Redskins, and Giants. + the QB took way more punishment back then. He has Brady 3rd because of his football IQ and he is greatest winner of all-time with the 3 League MVP's. He was kid but watched Unitas, he said Unitas was the best QB ever until Montana came along. Unitas won more than 2 League MVP's and won 2 Championships in 58/59. Montana won 2 League MVP's but 4 SB's. He puts Mahomes 5th. He told me, he has never seen anything like him being able to turn nothing into something and he already has the 2 League MVP's and 2 SB wins. My Step-dad is full of knowledge and had me speechless this morning. For craps and giggles, he thinks Joe Gibbs is the greatest coach ever. I was like why? He said he took 3 QB's that aren't Hall of Famers and won a SB with each - Theismann, Williams, Rypien. No other Coach has ever done that. He was about team and was the best at getting a group of just good guys in every area and executing wins every week. He thinks 3 or more SB/Championship wins qualifies a Coach to being in the convo for greatest ever. He has: 1. Joe Gibbs 2. Vince Lombardi - he was a great Packers mastermind. 3. Bill Belichick, but he gives Brady more credit for the SB wins they had. He also thinks BB cheated but he couldn't ignore his SB wins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here, it is just picks without the spread (no money involved) and I have won the last 2 years but barely. There are many knowledgeable people in here. I am already 0-1, I had KC but I had the Lions making the SB before the season in the big picture. I just didn't see the KC losing their home opener. Great sign for the Lions and my NFC pick.
