Ok, to begin with, understand that I don't know a darn thing about fantasy football and work with me here.

Is there a significant amount of points that are lost when a QB someone is starting turns the ball over 5 times?

The reason I ask this question is because, just off the top of my head, I can name 2 QB's that did that and a boat load of others that were in the 4 turnover ratio so far this season:

1. Vick vs. Browns 4 INT's
2. Romo vs. Bears 5 INT's
3. Rivers vs. Broncos 4 INT's , I FMB
4. E Manning vs. Panthers 4 INT's

What gives? It's just an amazing coincidence that every single QB in the league seems to have a day like this. Big Ben had a bad outing, P Manning, T Brady, A Rodgers....mind you, not t his bad but not good either.

The reason I ask is because I am really finding it difficult to accept this slop as Professional Football anymore. I mean, come on! Are these guys really this bad? Really? If I went to work and performed at that level, I wouldn't be close to having a job. And I am working for a fraction of the money these guys are earning.

Picks have little to do these days with a corner simply out covering a Receiver (ala Deion Sanders INT)

It has more to do with complex offensive and defensive schemes resulting in a QB not picking up on the coverage at the line, or a WR not running the correct route based on an adjustment based on a coverage audible

There are days when the QB's and the WR's are not on the same page and the defense has the offense unprepared based on their scheme

Passing league = more TDs and scores but also more picks.
