Vick/McNabb - Team quarterbacks

[Chibears]

Hi all,

Just wondering....

One of the leagues I'm in plays team QB....two of them! And passing TD's are as follows...

1-39 yds - 5 points
40-49 yds - 6 points and
50+ yds - 8 points.
2 points for every 50 yards passing.

So...weighed VERY heavily towards QB....especially starting 2 of them. 10 team league and all teams last year carried 3 QB teams - 2 start and 1 bench, leaving 2 QB teams on the waiver wire. Crucial to get the right "teams". So my question......how do ya'll think the Eagles will stack up? McNabb and Vick are both listed at QB.....I can see some wildcat runs that will go the distance this year (Vick - points for Eagles QB team), as well as the fact that what I've seen of McNabb in preseason, he's looked fantastic (McNabb - points for Eagles QB team). Am I crazy to rank them up there with the Pats, Saints, Colts?

Your thoughts ?????

Yes. McNabb's injury history could quickly end that and then you would be looking at Vick and Kolb. Moreso, McNabb is a great playmaker, but overrated in fantasy. Finally, Vick will likely only be on the field for 5 plays a game once the season starts, so don't count on him. Even in the Wildcat, he may shovel pass it or not be the receipient of the ball. He will be used as a decoy more than once.
