Default Need FF QB advice

Need a win to secure my playoff spot (14 team league). Have been really awful all year at making what ultimately turns out to be the right decsion at QB and it has cost me at least 2 wins this year.

MY QB's: Bledsoe (Home v Clev.), Carr (Home v. IND), Boller (Home v. NYG), Holcombe (@ BUF)

Holcombe is a no. I know that. Boller is probably a no. They are my emergency QB's and guys I picked up to prevent a couple opponents from getting them when they needed someone. Just haven't cut them b/c there isn't anyone out there worth picking up.

So, Carr or Bledsoe? Carr has been declining as of late, but he does play better at home and I think I could throw 2 TD's against the IND defense. Bledsoe has been playing better as of late, but McGahee should have a big day too and could/should limit Drew's chances of throwing TD's with a big day on the ground. If the weather really stinks in BUF this week, I think I go with Carr, no question. Current forecast in BUF for Sunday: Showers possible, 40%. Highs in the low 40s and lows in the low 20s. Not awful, not great.

What do I do? If the weather is better than that, does that change my selection?

Cleveland's defense has been non-existant the last 2 weeks. McGahee will get some yards, but there should be more than enough to go around against that defense.

I'd be glad to offer my advice, but I really haven't watched much football this season. So, before I vote, please remind me again, what team does Carr play for? Who are his receivers?

I think with those teams (defenses) it's bound to be a shootout. Give me Carr.

Thanks, now I know which way I will vote. I never pick a QB that's throwing to a player with double initials (i.e., Barry Bonds or Cassius Clay).

Also Carr will be thowing alot to try & keep up.

Buffalo should win, if they get an early lead I would expect to see them run it down Clevelands throats, so much fewer passes.

When you participate in Pick 'Em pools, do you pick winners based on uniform color or team nickname?

True. It's just that Carr has done nothing for me the weeks that I've played him. Then again, neither did Vick before I traded him. I've been cursed at the QB spot. I'm just so tempted to play the guy that is playing better lately.

Carr. I feel bad for you having Bledsoe. I probably would have cut him already, and then busted my TV in the past few weeks.
