Week 5 QB Vick or Stafford?

Non-PPR?

Stafford

Both games should be shootouts. Depends on how you score QB running TDs vs. passing TDs and how you score turnovers. Heavy penalty for turnovers = advantage Stafford. Premium for rushing TDs over passing TDs = advantage Vick.

[Friarfan]

I gotta go with Vick here. Both games will be shootouts but Vick's running ability gives him the edge. They're both on the road, but I think the Lions struggle more in GB than the Iggles do in NY/NJ. Vick's injury potential is the only drawback for me.

I assume that Brees is still a starter over Vick- Right?

100%

Rodgers, Brees and Peyton should ALWAYS start.

Agreed. I've been starting Vick over RGIII though (with middling results).

thanks - just making sure the obvious is just that.

Vick has had some pretty insane games at NYG, including Miracle at the New Meadowlands.

[Sam]

Sounds like most of NYG's secondary is going to be out this week as well as some of their front 7 - shaping up as a pretty good matchup for Vick

[Trautdiggity]

Yeah the Giants D is absolutely wrecked and Vick has owned them historically. Go with Vick

[Hornsby]

Stafford...GB has a horrible pass defense, and vick is ALWAYS a snap away from an injury.

[Sam]

Without Calvin in the lineup, Vick's gotta be the choice

[Pogues]

I would have gone with Stafford, but I'm switching to Vick now with Johnson out for the game.
