    I have both Stafford and Newton on my FF team (Not bad since I have Manning on my IR), I was thinking about trading one to get another RB, who would you keep out of the 2?
    Newton is unproven but has put up huge numbers and adds points with his legs.
    Stafford is solid, but has a history of injuries, can he make it through a 16 game season?

    Depends a little bit on scoring, but if rushing TDs are worth 6 and passing worth 4 I'd definitely go with Newton. If not, I'd probably still go with Newton...

    Honestly, I would keep Stafford. Newton has to hit the rookie wall eventually, right?

    Look at their schedules during FF playoff weeks (13-17)

    Newton:
    @ TB
    Atl
    @ Hou
    TB
    @ NO

    Stafford:
    @ NO
    Min
    @ Oak
    SD
    @ GB

    This is how I make the decision.

    I also have both QBs + Matt Ryan. Every week I don't know who to play. I guess it's a good problem to have.

    Absolutely keep Newton. Those rushing #s are $, and you have to know Stafford is going to get hurt.

    If you think Stafford will be healthy all 16 games, you might lean towards him.
    Both QBs have outstanding upside.

    I personally would roll with Newton, since those rushing stats are sweet.

    Anyone who would keep Newton over Stafford is retarded

    Anyone who has Newton, Stafford, and Matt Ryan in a 1 qb league is even more retarded.

    Newton has a much higher ceiling with his rushing ability... get off Staffords dick.

    I originally had Payton Manning and drafted Stafford early thinking that I would only need him for the first 4-5 weeks. After week 1 I moved Manning to my IR and picked up Newton and ended up with 2 of the hotter QB's in the league.

    Newton's a rookie defenses will figure him and the offenses out.

    I am also figuring that Newton is going to be playing from behind a lot and will be forced to throw more than Stafford

    Stafford for sure.. Trade Newton while his value his high. He cant keep this performance up for the rest of the season.

    The Lions can't run the ball so your argument is invalid.


    I agree. Sell high.

    Was waiting for the right move. Traded Ryan for Steve Smith.

    I sort of want to trade one of Stafford or Ryan for a RB. QB's dominate scoring in this league so if someone needs one it's a must. Stafford and Cam are #s 3 and 4 in scoring.

    Is there anyone I should target in particular? It's PPR.
