"Close Calls 2008" - A Sports Outlaw Exclusive

Attention Outlaws, the well know forum staple in the Fantasy Football community is back at Sports Outlaw! The original "Close Call" series will start the 2008 series at SportsOutlaw on Tuesday, June 3rd. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this series, here is how it will work:
  • Several times a week I will start a new "Close Call" thread. Each thread will ask a simple question, if you had to choose on draft day between these two players, who would you pick. Simple as that.
  • The players chosen for each match-up will be players of the same position that has a similar ADP and value is seen as similar by many. ADP will be based on the ADP report at Fantasy Football Calculator (ADP - Fantasy Football Calculator) The value in these threads comes in the discussion. Give the reason why, debate it, back it up with facts, throw those stats around. If everyone does this, we will have a series of great player debates that will be a great tool that will help you evaluate players come draft day for your league.
  • The player with the most votes will be the winner of that "Close Call". Threads and results for the series will be tracked in this master thread through the summer.
  • For each selection use the following scoring format to base your selection on. Note there are no ppr's.
    • 6 pts Ru/Rec TD's
    • 4 pts pass TD's
    • 1 pt 25 pass yds
    • 1 pt 10 ru/rec yds
    • -2 pt Fumble lost
    • -1 pt INT
  • Each Pick should be based on a re-draft set-up
  • So, Starting June 3rd, be sure to check for this exciting feature here at Sports Outlaw. If you have any suggestions for match-ups you would like to see post them here, I will try to work some of them in.

Hey Miller, is there any way to find out who voted for who on these? I love "Close Calls" and remember being able to get this info previously, but can't now.

I just have to remember to mark the polls as public when I make them. I will try to do this on the ones going forward. Thanks for the reminder.

Um, you been paying attention to Fins camp at all? Ricky's been acting like it's '02. The guy has just been a flat-out beast. Brown on the other hand is injured and I don't know whether he'll play like he did last year. If he does it becomes really interesting. Just depends on what you believe, really.

Not going to be a close call, but makes for a great topic:
Dolphins Running Back situation

Interested to see your opinion in that thread.

Really good thing you're doing here with the "close calls". Very helpful insight. How about LJ vs Gore?

Cooley vs Clark

You should make this one:

Close Call: Draft any Dolphin, or go ahead and forfeit.
