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)

IIRC - I'm pretty sure last season I was in first place the entire time until the last week lol

 

Then @SteelKing728 passed me to win by 3 yards

Well 4 of us technically won. I just came in 1st place haha

But it was a challenge. Chasing you all year made last year's game so much fun!

I'm pretty sure that I won last season, and if I didn't, it is Russell Wilson's fault for sure.  This is always super fun.  This year I am going to try to use as many multiple team QBs as possible.  Let's see some back-up QBs go off! Joe Barry is now coaching for the Rams, if you need a target.
