There’s not whole lot to talk about when it comes to free-agent quarterbacks, but there are a couple who can and will make a difference during the 2008 season. The real NFL season starts March 1st as these free agents will one way or another find themselves in a new situation.

From a fantasy perspective never overvalue any free agent unless they’re re-signing with there current team.

Derek Anderson (Cleveland): Was it a case of Anderson making everyone on the offensive side of the ball better or was it the other way around? It’s weird how the NFL works; Charlie Frye was named the Browns starter during week one of 2007 and before the beginning of week three we never hear another word about him. I couldn’t tell you where Frye is right now, but I can tell you that Anderson is a bona fide starter and a draft day trade that landed Quinn in Cleveland could eventually backfire. Even when it looks like the Browns make excellent draft day decisions (Brady Quinn), it turns out that it may end up backfiring. So I ask, did Anderson make the Browns offense better or was it drafting Joe Thomas, the all-pro play of Braylon Edwards, Kellen Winslow’s maturation, or the resurrection of Jamal Lewis’ career that offered Anderson a sense of security? However we look at the situation Anderson is a perfect fit on a team that desperately needs to win.

Daunte Culpepper (Oakland): I am truly not ready to give up on Culpepper’s career and if he signs on with the right team with a favorable situation he should rebound from his less than perfect return from injury last season. In 2007 with the Oakland Raiders Culpepper showed signs of the old “Pep”, but on other occasions he looked confused and completely out of his comfort zone. Look for improvement this season and his best case scenario would be to squash any type of beef he has with the Vikings and grow with a team close to making big noise in the NFC. In my opinion, a healthy Culpepper could replace about 50% of starting quarterbacks in a quarterback starved league but then again, I don’t earn millions making NFL decisions.

Other Free Agent Quarterbacks:

Josh McCown (Oakland): Career backup hoping to hang onto a job in Oakland.

Quinn Gray (Jacksonville): I don’t think Gray is as far away as most people think. However, at best he’s a couple years away from being an every week NFL quarterback and that’s only due to any type of injuries.

Drew Henson (Minnesota), Ken Dorsey (Cleveland), Ryan Fitzpatrick (Cincinnati), Jared Lorenzen (NYG), Cleo Lemon (Miami), Jamie Martin (New Orleans),

My final post for the NY Times blog is up. Come check out Free Agency, and Turning the Page.

Next week I will also have a new article up with Sports Grumblings on free agency moves and will provide a link to that article when it’s ready.

Have a great weekend!

Can I possibly merge the concept of shopping for a bridesmaid dress and the NFL Draft? Oh hell yeah. Come read Drafting Dress Rehearsal on the NY Times and learn about some draft success stories from the 2000s.

It’s the start of free agency, and there will be several moves that will impact your Fantasy team. Our Jamey Eisenberg examines.

Some of you might remember the post I did last summer that looked at the 2006 preseason rankings and compared them to final fantasy points to see which rankings were the most accurate. Well I’ve done it again for the 2007 season and have posted it up on the New York Times’s blog:

How Accurate Were They in 2007?

My Tuesday post for the New York Times’s football blog is up! Check out Getting Hooked on Fantasy Football if you have a chance - and don’t worry football fans, my post tomorrow is going to have a lot more about actual fantasy football in it.

I’ve been lucky enough to be asked to be a guest blogger on the New York Times this week - I will be posting daily to the Fifth Down, NYT’s pro football blog, and setting up a link from here to my Fifth Down articles every day. Enjoy and feel free to comment if you disagree or agree with me - would love to hear some feedback!

Monday’s article: Back in Business With the Combine

It’s the offseason, which we don’t need to tell any of you. It’s a long layoff, but that’s the nature of the beast. Perhaps that’s what makes fantasy football so wonderful. 17 weeks of fantastic football bliss (unless you’re a Miami Dolphins fan). So you may be wondering how we Bruno Boys spend our offseasons. We follow the players moving teams, we’re excited about the upcoming NFL draft, and we love to analyze the impact of everything from coaching changes to player arrests (well hopefully not this year, but I probably just jinxed that). This, however, isn’t one of those articles. Generally speaking, we also goof off a bit. So relax, and enjoy the next couple months, and we’ll be back to the fantasy analysis in short order.

In the meantime, however, consider what it would be like to have the ultimate player on your team? Sure Adrian Peterson, LaDanian Tomlinson, and Tom Brady owners have to feel pretty close, but that’s not exactly my point. What if science actually allowed us to assemble the best aspects of all the players in the NFL? What if we could actually make the ultimate fantasy football player? I warned you it was the offseason, and the minds of the Bruno Boys start to wander. We’ve assembled all the parts; now we just need science to pull their weight.
———————————————————
Brain: Peyton Manning (QB – Indianapolis Colts)

Let’s be honest, is there a safer pick in the first round? I never end up with him on any of my teams, unless it’s via trade. But Manning consistently puts up numbers. Every. Single. Year. And if you’ve been near a TV anytime in the last year, you’ve seen his face on any number of ads. One such ad features Sprint shamelessly pimping the mind of Manning, complete with swimming Dolphins and a freaky little kid whispering. Um yeah, we just want his brain. Thanks.
———————————————————
Arm: Tom Brady (QB – New England Patriots)

I’m not looking up the numbers, for fear I’ll hurl, but Tom Brady was incredibly accurate this season. He’s been accurate before, pretty much for his entire career, but this year was just gaudy. There’s not a throw he can’t make, and his arm strength is certainly adequate. We’re also taking his womanizing (see: man whoring) skills. He faced some tough competition from fellow QB Matt Leinart in this one as both have proven they’re not sterile, allegedly. You’re such a good guy, Tom.
———————————————————
Legs: Adrian Peterson (RB – Minnesota Vikings) 

 This was a tough one as I wanted to take the legs of Randy Moss, which provide incredible speed and form the foundation of his height advantage. Chad Johnson was also considered; the man outran a horse. ‘Nuff said. However, when you watch Adrian Peterson play (the good one), his cuts, acceleration, and breakaway speed are truly incredible. Anyone else notice he has a sort of gallop when he gets past the linebackers? Take that, Chad. You outran a horse… Peterson is part horse. Touche.
———————————————————
Hands: Terrell Owens (WR – Dallas Cowboys)

Umm, no. Never T.O.! Santana Moss? Nope. Asante Samuel? I’ll let Patriots fans answer that one. For this one we’ll take Asante’s teammate, Randy Moss. Not only because Moss rarely drops a ball on a big play, but mostly because he consistently displays the ability to catch passes at the height of his reach. He’s not that much taller than everyone, and he can’t really jump that high (all this is very easy for me to say), rather his technique accounts for a lot of his ability to catch passes over defenders. And if he ever does drop one, you can be sure he’s catching the next one, maybe even with one hand.
———————————————————
Eyes: LaDanian Tomlinson (RB – San Diego Chargers)

We considered a few guys for this award, but chose Tomlinson for his incredible vision. Call it a career achievement award (he told me he was thrilled to receive it), as Tomlinson’s been seeing the cutback for years. He’s practically clairvoyant, and our investment is well protected behind that convenient black plastic shield. Always minimize risk, kids.
———————————————————
Mouth: Chad Johnson (WR – Cincinnati Bengals)

Some people can’t stand this guy. I personally love him. In 2006 he posted a list in his locker of every cornerback he was going to face, a hit list of sorts. Then he told us about it.  Terrell Owens tries, but usually just comes off as a bit of an asshole. Chad’s rarely called a bad teammate. Some get tired of his antics, but he can run his mouth for us any day. 
———————————————————
And with that I’ll stop running my mouth, er, fingers. Imagine how many leagues you could win with this guy though. What if you could clone him and put him at every position? I’ll stop. I promise. 

Comment below with any aspects you feel I left off the list. We would love to hear them.
