i understand what you're trying to say, but sometimes the % difference between the QBs is large enough to justify drafting QB first.

I understand that. I'm not retarded.

The reason Culpepper is worth so many points has little to do with his touchdowns and more to do with his yardage.

Example:

Daunte Culpepper AVERAGED almost 350+ total yards (run/pass) per game last season. A quarterback like Drew Brees, for example, averaged under 200 yards per game.

In this league, Daunte Culpepper's pure yardage score would be 17 points. Brees would only average 8 points per game. This is the equivilent of THREE TOUCHDOWNS!

So, you're saying Culpepper is a better fantasy option than Brees? Truly groundbreaking stuff.

The pont is, in a league where you start 2 RBs and only 1 QB, that automatically gives RBs more value than QBs.

Lets say you're in a league where you're elite QBs average 20 points a game. Your elite RBs average only 12 points a game. But, you start two RBs and just one QB. I'd still value guys like Edge, McAllister, etc. over guys like McNabb and Culpepper.

See, the thing is that there's a HUGE dropoff in quarterbacks and not so much in runningbacks. Once you get past the touchdown-scoring RB's like Tomlinson, Alexander, and Holmes; the playing field is so even that it hardly even matters who you take.


Example:
Top scoring running back Shaun Alexander averaged 13 points per game.
My top chosen RB Rudi Johnson, who was taken as the 13th overall running back in this draft, scored about 10 points per game.


Daunte Culpepper himself AVERAGED a score of 9 points more per game than Drew Brees. That's huge. You can't make that up. I can make up 2, 5, or even 8 points at RB... Not to mention, I think Rudi Johnson is going to have a big year.

I'd need to see the goofy-*** scoring system that would make that true.
