Okay, now check out this quote from his latest 'Fantasy vs. Reality':
Fantasy: Steve Smith is the engine of the Carolina offense. It looks like DeShaun Foster is far and away the better running back for the Panthers
I TOLD you all Dave would waver on something involving Carolina, although I thought it would be on Delhomme. Nevermind the fact that Smith is ALWAYS a threat; even if he's not making catches, he's baiting DBs into pass interference penalties that still move the ball down the field.
If I didn't know any better, I'd say Dave has it in for Delhomme. He's willing to give credit to anyone BUT the guy. It'll be interesting to see what he'll say next week if David Carr steps in and has a half-decent game. Or if Jake does play and, say, TE du jour Jeff King grabs a TD, maybe Dave will annoint HIM as the 'engine'.
While I'm on his case, Dave goes on to say the following about how to handle bye weeks:
Make a play for the Bengals your team(s) needs after next week's games and play the bye-week waiver-wire game in Week 5, then coast with your Bengals for the rest of the season. Do the same with the Chargers, whose bye is in Week 7.
There's nothing wrong with giving up a smidge in a deal to get a player with a late bye week.
Sorry, but IMHO, the time to deal with bye weeks was back during your draft. Want proof? Look over on the right. I never ranked Ks and DEFs, telling you instead to just pick the best one with the latest bye week. Do NOT go out there and make wacky trades just so you can "get some Bengals". I said it once and I'll say it again: trades are VERY observable. Don't be stupid in front of your entire league just because of bye weeks.
