Alright, lets start with the QB's

Cutler vs. Rivers: Cutler and Rivers put up similar numbers in 07, but Cutler had better numbers in almost every category, all while not having L.T. to hand off to or Antonio Gates to throw to. Cutler had more yards and a completions, had a higher average and QB rating, not to mention adding nearly 200 more yards of offense on the ground, all the while having a far inferior squad

Chambers vs. Jackson: Chambers did have more receptions, which means he also had more yards(obviously), but despite having less catches Jackson had only 1 less TD and had a higher receiving average. In the playoffs however, Jackson was the more sought after option, as he had more catches, yards, and TD's than Chambers. Add the fact that Jackson is only 25 while Chambers is pushing 30, Jackson is the better option

Gates vs. Gonzalez: This is by far the biggest mismatch between our offenses. Gates is by far the better (and much younger) athlete between the two. Gonzalez caught just under 100 balls, but his stats were inflated by the Chiefs embarrassing lack of threats on offense. Gates had a higher receiving average between the two and had nearly double the amount of TD's


The question I have about Cutler is when is he going to lead the Broncos back to the playoffs? Rivers has gone 27-9 in two seasons as the Chargers starter. He led them to their first playoff victory since 1994 and their first AFC Championship game since 1994. Cutler has been 16-16 in two seasons as the Broncos starter. Now who would you rather have?

Chambers is the #1 WR compared to Jackson who is the #2. Chambers is a veteran who knows the game well and has been to a Probowl. Jackson is a good receiver but as for now I'd take the vet. In a couple years, Jackson would be a better choice.

Gonzalez has been to 9 STRAIGHT Pro Bowls, how can you not have him over Gates? He's been named to 8 All-Pro teams, and holds the record for most career touchdowns and career receptions for a tight end. He even led the NFL (including Wide receivers) for receptions in 2004.

HAHA, why is that everytime I see an All conference or All division list TD, both debaters only pick different guys for only about 1-4 guys...Maybe im just too much of a newbie and havent seen otherewise, but everyone ive seen so far has been like that.

I was sort of in a rush when picking the last 10 guys so I just agreed with his special teams lol, and then I had my final argument done, but got it in like 2 minutes too late. I was just way slow on this TD, not one of my great ones
