I would agree jord that missing players is not always as significant as the public likes to believe...
But as far as qbs not moving lines, I would say that about 15 quarterbacks could move a line by 4-5 points with the announcement of a injury or suspension if they weren't going to play....
Like I said I agree for the most part jord, but these guys are the exception...
if the line was -7 for the game,
And
Brees
Brady
Rodgers
Manning
Manning
Vick
Ben
Ryan
Schuab
Rivers
Stafford
Cam
Flacco
Luck
Dalton
Any of them went out, it would move towards -2ish in a day...so while most players wouldn't warrant a move, there are a few who totally do...
Now, cassel maybe doesn't warrant a 1 point swing...
But he is a better nfl qb then quinn....I think it has to atleast be ackowledged when capping this game...
The chiefs strength is running the ball....
With cassel gone and quinn in, they will 100% bring more pressure and load the box more often then they would have initially with cassel in....they would've loaded the box regardless, but I see much more aggressive play from tampa now...
Gl to ya all I am layin off this game...
