Cool Palmer or Grossman

Normally, I would never consider benching Carson Palmer, but it's supposed to rain again at Pittsburgh and we all saw what happened last Monday night.

Who would you start - Rex Grossman against the Giants or Palmer?

Re: Palmer or Grossman

Tough call because you don't know if the "good Rex" or "bad Rex" is going to show up for any given game!

Either way, the matchups are tough for both QBs and Palmer is clearly the better choice **BUT** as you said, there's a weather issue in Pittsburgh... tough call.

If the Bears are playing the Giants in Chicago, then you could take a chance with Rex, if not, probably roll the dice with Palmer and hope the weather is not like Monday!

Either way, good luck!

Re: Palmer or Grossman

I have one rule in fantasy sports. I never bench my star players. Normally Palmer is one of the elite QBs. He has great receivers. I would play Palmer as normal and expect a 200+ yd game and a few TDs as usual instead of hoping Grossman has a good game.

Re: Palmer or Grossman

I would say Palmer, CJ can catch anything thrown to him

That is a rule to live by...the odds are, Palmer on a bad day will still out do Rex...I would stick with Palmer.

Re: Palmer or Grossman

If anyone thinks Grossman would be better to start than Palmer no matter what the weather, then I'd say its a real fantasy alright

True. Heavens knows that Rex doesn't need the elements against him too.

Cool Re: Palmer or Grossman

No I didn't join the fantasy goteamsgo league this year. This was a money league and although Grossman did better than Palmer, I still won my game and made the playoffs. Next week, I play a team that beat me by 100 pts a couple of weeks ago. This guy has Moss and Owens. I just have to hope for quiet weeks from them.

Poor Pundit. Pittsburgh might be able to put the clamps on Moss, Owens against the Detroit D? I am looking for a big, big game from him. And I dont even belong to a fantasy league.
