NFL: Starting Sage

SeattleClone · 11-08-2008, 11:32 PM

My usual starting QB, Big Ben, is questionable, so I've decided to start Sage tomorrow. I am hoping that it works out well for me, more because I want to see Sage do well than I care about my fantasy team (which sucks). I had Seneca at one point as well, but had to drop him when he was hurt. Someone else in my league picked him up, but due to the Seahawks suckiness, I think Sage is the better bet anyways.

the fact that sage has andre johnson to catch his throws makes him light years better then seneca ....

Exactly... see also: Seahawks general suckiness.

Now if Seneca could have himself as a receiver as well, that would be a different story!

From what I have seen, Sage may be the better pro qb at this point anyway.

This was a bad decision.

Matt Schaub is out 2-4 weeks. Sage was going to start. Seneca is helping out Matt Hasselbacks ailing back (not to be confused with Matt Cassel).

What was the bad decision? Sage is the more pure thrower and less mobile, but it is the pros. Looking at the stats, Sage is doing well as a backup.

Sage is getting rocked by the Ravens, but he'll end up with 300 yards and mybe 2 TD ... (along with the 4 INTs)

Seneca only had 185 and a touch

1TD, 4 picks. Sage has not had a really solid performance this year, like he has in the past few years as a backup.

Wallace was not an option for me, it was Sage or Ben. Looks like Ben is playing, so we'll see how he does I guess. All of my hopes and predictions for this weekend were garbage, so Roethlisberger will probably have about 500 yards and 6 TD's. The Steelers will probably still lose though since I picked them in my office pick'em pool.
