it's a PASSING league after all now!

a fun game for the Viking forum, with thanks to @titanrick

Rules:

-it's a game to see which game player can rack up the most cumulative passing yards over the entire season, making use of 18 different QB's and their weekly passing performances.

-every week of the 18 week NFL 2022 season, game participants choose one quarterback from any team of their choice, with the hopes that QB has a big game and racks up passing yards.

-you can only pick each individual QB once. You pick a new QB every week, prior to kickoff of that player's game. You can use multiple QBs from the same team.

-I will tabulate and post passing yards for each QB and player each week, following the last game of each week.

-5000 yards over 18 weeks is the goal (a game average of 278 yards) but the game winner is the dude with the most yards.

You must have your pick in before his game has started. If your QB is scratched from the lineup BEFORE the game, you are allowed to pick a new QB from the remaining games. If your QB gets hurt DURING the game, you DO NOT get to pick a new QB and DO NOT get the yardage his replacement throws for.

New rule: If you realize you accidentally picked the same QB twice in the season but not before you have time to change it, you will be given the lowest yardage from a starter (who you haven't previously picked) in that second week. This constitutes a strike. After 2 strikes, you're eliminated from the game. The same goes if you forgot your pick. Think of it as your freebie. The same applies if you forget to make a pick. You still get assigned the lowest passing yardage from a starting QB and get a strike.

-Please put the amount of passing yards your QB had for that week when you post, I'd greatly appreciate it. I also wouldn't mind if you added up your total for the week as well! This is not mandatory but it greatly helps. Regardless, I verify what the totals were.

-So for instance, if you used Jameis Winston and then Derek Carr, it would look like this:

Week 1: Winston (194)

Week 2: Carr (198)

Total: 392

(Will continue to update)

I’m in again. I can’t believe it’s been 9 years since I’ve broken the 5000 yard threshold. Wow! Thanks for taking the initiative to run this game, @SteelKing728! Much appreciated. 

I can't believe how well I've done the past few years after stinking up the joint for the previous 8-9 years.

Me either 😂. I’d forgotten that you eclipsed 5000 yards 2 out of the past three seasons. Stack another couple of wins and you’ll be in @skywindO2 territory. Good luck this year.

It is on like Donkey Kong!

 

Do you happen to know what the lowest score anyone has had, while actually trying?  Like, did someone actually try every week and end up with like 3500 yards?

I think @blkwdw13did that in 2021, his first year playing.

I'm still rooting for him though. It is not an easy game and I've struggled too for awhile now haha

In 2018 @byuvike88 had the highest score ever with 5374 yards.
