Here is the reply from the owner after I made the attempt of trading Caddy straight up for Terrell Owens...I also tried Caddy and my back-up Denver Defense....
this is one analytical dude. Anyone agree with his comment?
Here it is:
When the league decided to limit the # of RBs kept AND added a FLEX position, it significantly downgraded the value of RBs. This is why I made a deal for Owens during the offseason.
I already told you that I won't accept Caddy for any of my stud WR straight up, so I guess that discussion ends there. Caddy has a herniated disk and although he definitely has a future in the NFL, he can't help me much this year and you and I need every win we can muster in our tight divisions.
I don't think I'm weak at RB since we need is 1 RB and Portis and/or T. Bell (when healthy) are doing fine. If I'm looking to 2007, I have M. Turner who would most likely be a starter next year for some team and J. Norwood can take over for 31 yr old Dunn anyday. I also believe C. Perry has a good chance to be the starter over Rudi next season. The RB position seem weak, but I'm one injury away from having a solid #2RB this season.
It's always funny how people compare pts. between positions....Yes Raven's defense scores a lot of points but so does Kickers & QBs. . . if you want to just look at points, Jeff Wilkens has 73 pts compared to Raven's 82 and Bronco's 35. M. Vanderjagt in 6 or 7 games has 52 pts. Points should only be compared within the positions.
I'm not interested in changing my entire team to get a backup Defense. I'll be willing to give you one of my kicker or Bryant or Jennings. That's the best I can do. Thanks for considering the trade. Let me know either way so that I can proceed other ideas.
Thanks.
What do you guys think?
