Which QB should I drop to pick up Rexy?

[badger1679666666]

Chad Pennington or Drew Brees?

 

Chad plays in a system where he throws alot, plus they can't estabilish the run at all, and should throw alot. He has the 4th weakest schedule.

 

Drew is probably the better quarterback, has a more versatile offense, and has the #1 most difficult schedule in the NFL.

 

I want Rex, which one do I drop?

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Neither?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I second the opinion of TT.

[badger1679666666]

Neither?

 

So drop neither and let some one else take Rex off the waivers?

Rex is the real thing (he might not have four touchdown passes every game, but he's going to do well). Assuming you want Rex as the starter, I'd look at schedules during the Bears' bye week and keep the quarterback that looks to have a more favorable matchup that particular week. Alternatively you could drop a bench player at another position, keep both quarterbacks, and try to trade one of them for added depth at another position.

Rex is not a fantasy QB..there are so many QB's better than him..You have 2 better QB's right now and your dropping them to jump on the Rex bandwagon after 1 game??? Pennington just posted back to back 300 yard games..Maybe Grossman can be a bye week replacement..but your nuts if you think Grossman can be a weekly starter or get you a fantasy championship...Stick with what you have..

Two games.

 

I'd keep Pennington and Brees, though, and add Rex.

My team is too stacked to do that right now.

I can't carry a third QB. Ok, well I guess I'll listen to you guys re: Rex. I know he faced the two worst teams in the league, but he's looked extremely extremely good.

Just out of curiosity is that Desmond Clark (Bears) or Dallas Clark (Colts)? Both are tight ends.

 

One nice thing about having Rex on the team would be that you'd get double credit for any touchdowns he completes to Muhammad or Clark (if you meant Desmond, that is). This past week I started Rex in one of the leagues I'm in and actually got credit for 6 touchdowns, because I also had Berrian and Clark in my lineup so the touchdowns completed to them counted twice (one for the pass, one for the catch).

[goonys evil twin]

dump pennington, he'll be done by week 5 or 6.

[karenmac]

it was definitely not hard for me to choose to drop freaking Jake Plummer and pick up rexy!

[pitchcs]

Drop Norwood for God's sake.

Yeah the risk is not worth the reward. There is a small chance that Rex in his first full season could put up decent numbers (look for 19 TD, 17 INT as like a best case scenario), but the chances are better taht your two current QBs will do better. Theres also a pretty good chance that Grossman stumbles a bit as the season goes along, and a chance that he gets injured again.
