So, you don't own
Peyton Manning,
Tony Romo,
Jay Cutler,
Tom Brady (
oops - kidding) or any reliable fantasy QB option for that matter. That's cool, your season is toast. I kid. It's not exactly the most ideal position or should I say predicament you want to face. However, you never know... help can always be right around the corner. You've just gotta be ready to snatch up the opportunity when it presents itself.
You see, year in and year out there is always at
least one QB that comes completely out of nowhere to become an absolute stud. Now, "that" guy may take some time to develop or need an injury or underachieving QB in front of him to be benched. However, just like the Cubs and the World Series...
it's gonna happen! (Sincere apologies for jinxing the Cubs).
Anyhow, it started with the
Kurt Warner breakthrough back in the '70s - um, I mean 1999. And it's been a trend. A few seasons ago Tony Romo battled his way through obscurity and a statuesque
Drew Bledsoe to make a lasting fantasy impact down the stretch. Last year it took a few games, but suddenly Derek Anderson was a solid option who helped many a fantasy team. Yup, from undrafted to fantasy stardom...
you know the drill.
Well, today I'm pulling out a few obvious names and a few sleepers that could be ready to grab the "who's the next (fill-in-the-blank)" surprise QB of the year. Let's run through this real quick...
shall we?
