My, what crazy eyes you have.

We have all been there.  We are at some type of social event, be it a bar or a party or whatever else qualifies as a social event.  We see this striking gal by herself and start to wonder.  First we check the finger.  Nope, not married.  Then we try to get in position for a full figure view.  Nope, does have a giant pear ass.  So, we start to put togehter our game plan.  How do we approach this one?  Do we do the walk by with the eye contact and just keep going by...to plant the seed?  Do we engage her in a quick, pointless banter and then walk away as fast as we approached (the ninja)?  Or, do we throw caution to the wind and simply walk up and actually have a conversation?  Whichever you choose, you are wrong.  Why?  Because the bitch has crazy eyes.  There is likely a reason anytime a hot girl is single and alone.  If we would have just listened to the warning signs our (upper) brain was sending we be better off.  Why does the lower brain always win.  The upper brain is like the lowly defense attorney throwing out objections hoping to help his case while the lower brain is the douchey judge that is type cast in every single law show and movie ever created.  "Overruled!"

Every year we fantasy drafters become smitten with the facade of some players.  We listen to all the experts that tell us how this is finally the year, or that this rookie is different han every other rookie...yadda, yadda, yadda.  That little sound in the back of your mind is telling you to wait, think about this a little more.  Why do we like this guy?  What happpens if he is the same guy he has always been and doesn't all of a sudden become a star?  What happens if he really is old and worn down and his production falls off a cliff (looking at your Ladanian).  I have prided myself on listeneing to the deep recesses of my rain and avoiding these guys.  Sometimes I have been way wrong and these guys would have done wonders for my team (Darren McFadden) but a lot of times I sleep better at night watching guys like Michael Vick and Larry Johnson sink other people's teams.

2012 Brady Quinn list:

Ryan Mathews - This one was too easy.  While initial rankings from experts was coming out I couldn't help but think what a perfect fit for my crazy eyes theory.  This porcelain doll was born with the same affliction as the Samuel Jackson character in unbreakable.  He was injured through college before finally having one breakout year.  he gets nicked tying his shoelaces before practice,  but, this year is going to be different.  he's in the best shape of his life.  he's going to be Tomlinson 2.0.  Nope.  Had him at 15 on my initial ranks.  Maybe I'll be the foll but...wait, what's this I'm seeing on TV.  mathews breaks his collar bone one carry into preseason?  Surprise.  This is the type of crazy eye's that only my buddyy Geoff could love.

Peyton Manning - If you think that he is going to light up the sky like it's 2007 you and I are on different pages.  It's not just the fact that his neck is held together by a couple twist ties and gorilla glue.  It's that plus the fact his offensive line is terrible.  He doesn't have reggie Wayne or Harrison or Clark.  Sure I like Decker but Thomas is not a good route runner and that is what Peyton looks for.  This guy is going to get hit more than he's used to.  Remember what Favre was like late in his career?  Chuck it anywhere as the pressure was coming to just not get hit.  Come week 8 or so, I can see that becoming a Peyton trait.  Sure, you get a few big weeks, but even Fitzpatrick will give you those and he's going way later.

Dez Bryant - Oh how do I hate thee, let me count the ways.  This guy is a piece of shit.  I can't see him making it through an entire season.  He'll either be injured or suspended.  The Cowboys have a terrible offensive line and if healthy (IF!!!), Miles Austin is manning more of a slot role this year.  Guess who Romom loves?  Yep, Witten and Austin.  Guess who he'll be looking for on short, Welker like, checkdowns as the pressure is coming?  No, it's not Bryant running 15-20 yard patterns down field.

Trent Richardson - This one hurts me because I just love the Crimson Tide.  In  PPR format I could see him bringing decent value due to some late game checkdowns while the Browns play catch up.  That's right, the Browns will be bad and they will be losing most games they play in this year as they position themselves for Matt Barkley.  guess what teams dont usually do when they are losing at the end, or in the middle, of games?  Run the ball.  if we see Richardson on the field for mop up work early in the season, PPR drafters will be rewarded.  But when they are down 10+ that first game, if Hardesty comes in to keep Richardson fresh, uh oh!

Tony Romo - This guy has the weapons to put up elite numbers.  That line is terrible and his receiving corp is a mash unit.  If he finds a way to make it all season, I just don't see him putting up top 10 numbers at his position.  I'll let someone else roll the dice.
