Guy finished top 5 last year.

Sure, they are switching to more of a ground and pound type of offense, but its not like the guy isn't gonna throw it.

His ADP is waaaaay down.

Also having a fantastic preseason.

What are the boards thoughts on this cat?

Sleeper? Great Value QB?

I drafted him as my #2 QB after getting RG3 a pick or two before

From the look of it he's probably going to end up starting for me

He looks awesome this preseason, has been on the money. I think he finishes top 10.

Plus no one is talking about him so you can get him late as shite.

He could. The Bengals are likely to pass the ball a little last this year with Hue Jackson as OC, though.

He only eclipsed 20+ points 7 times in 6 pt TD leagues (he finished as QB3, 80 points behind Brees). He had a 3 week stretch where he went off. Not that he cannot be an adequate QB if your MO is to wait on one late. I just wouldnt expect top 5 numbers.

I like those QBs who put up those consistent 20 ppg games. Matt Stafford, for comparison, had 10 games of 20+ and fished as the QB7.

I'm avoiding him this season because (a) he's a redhead and (2) they are switching offense styles.

However, Sanu has looked beastly this preseason.

I think he's a great value pickup especially where he's getting drafted. I picked him up in the 14th as backup to Foles. Preseason has been good to him. This is one ginger you can trust

I'm in the same boat with rg3 and dalton. We drafted two weeks ago, I know I know it wasn't my choice, so it was before it became apparent rg3 blows and I was believing the hype

Yea RG3 had fallen so far in the draft that I couldn't pass it up

I regretted the pick almost immediately after and have tried the last week or so to trade him. Oh well, Dalton is a solid fall back plan if hes as bad as I think he is going to be.

When I saw that infographic on whatever show I saw it on, I was pretty surprised. The guy is on a eerily similar career track....... Good for my FF league if he does turn into the next PM!
