BQBL: Week 16 Scores

Rob's Tebowing has finally been answered, and in a epic BQBL matchup of Ryan Fitzpatrick and Tim Tebow, Tebow proved he was the better BQB with two picks returned for touchdowns (again, OP!!!). Even though my guy threw for NO touchdowns, somehow Rob got 89 points in that game and I only got 16. Below I will update on the overall standings, and nominate MVP's for each team, based on their season totals so far. Maybe sometime next week, charts!
  • Nan: 35
    • Panthers - Cam Newton: -4
    • Jaguars - Blaine Gabbert: 25
    • Chiefs - Kyle Orton: 4
    • Buccaneers - Josh Freeman: 10
Nan had finally taken the overall lead last week in the standings, but Saturday's performance by one Timothy Richard Tebow was enough for Rob to steal it back. It's going to be a tight race to the end of the regular season.
MVP candidates: Blaine Gabbert (381.5) or Josh Freeman (320)
  • Alison: 29
    • Cowboys - Stephen McGee: 16
    • Eagles - Michael Vick: 0
    • Browns - Seneca Wallace: 27
    • Lions - Matthew Stafford: -14
There's two tiers in this fantasy league - Rob and Nan are in a close battle for first, and Alison and Xian are locked in a battle for "not-last". Me, I'm floating around somewhere in between.
MVP candidates: Michael Vick (205) and Colt McCoy (191)
  • Me: 50
    • Redskins - Rex Grossman: 10
    • Bills - Ryan Fitzpatrick: 16
    • 49ers - Alex Smith: 18
    • Bengals - Andy Dalton: 6
Curse my short sighted-ness once again for taking the 49ers and Bengals, who might even make the playoffs, and leaving the Jets and Vikings on the table.
MVP candidates: Ryan Fitzpatrick (303) and Rex Grossman (241)
  • Rob: 101
    • Dolphins - Matt Moore: 9
    • Raiders - Carson Palmer: 10
    • Broncos - Tim Tebow: 89
    • Colts - Dan Orlovsky: -7
That Rob and his Tim Tebow. We'll all be watching with baited breath next week when Kyle Orton, ex-Bronco's starting QB, takes on Tebow Nation. It's not every season you get waived from a team and then get to stick it to them later in that same season. The Broncos playoff hopes are on the line, not to mention the regular-season BQBL Champion may be determined in this game!
MVP candidates: Curtis Painter (263) and Timothy Richard Chosen One (212)
  • Xian: 75
    • Texans - TJ Yates: 27
    • Steelers - Charlie Batch: 15
    • Ravens - Joe Flacco: 22
    • Seahawks - Tavaris Jackson: 11
A solid week keeps him just ahead of Alison in the overall standings, but looking back at his QB contributions, I'm shocked and saddened by some of the weak contributions by Ben Roethlisberger and all of the Texans QBs (three of them! All quite competent!)
MVP candidates: Joe Flacco (237) and Tarvaris Jackson (207.5)
  • GOOD QB NPC: -2
    • Patriots - Tom Brady: -6
    • Chargers - Philip Rivers: 30
    • Saints - Drew Brees: -6
    • Packers - Aaron Rodgers: -20
  • MEDIUM QB NPC: 129
    • Giants - Eli Manning: 20
    • Falcons - Matt Ryan: 29, Chris Redman: -6
    • Cardinals - John Skelton: 29
    • Jets - Mark Sanchez: 57
  • BAD QB NPC: 74
    • Titans - Matt Hasselbeck: 1
    • Bears - Josh McCown: 10
    • Vikings - Christian Ponder: 3, Joe Webb, -2
    • Rams - Kellen Clemens: 62
Another week, another compelling argument that Phillip Rivers, Matt Hasselbeck, and Mark Sanchez are all placed in the wrong NPC leagues. But let's all be thankful we weren't forced to choose the Pakcers or Saints - overall, Dres Brees has -84, and Aaron Rodgers is a colossal disappointment at -125. I hear some people out there playing BQBL just broke the rules and refused to field the Packers for any weeks. Might have been a savvy move.
