I figured at 0-2, what the heck, I might as well shake up my team. Torn I have gone back and forth over trade offers a couple of times. I think this works out OK but I may end up significantly on the short end of the stick. Like I said though, at 0-2 and losing a heartbreaking defeat on monday night by the old lady no less, I felt a move was needed. Unfortunately, I can't fire the coach!! It puts me thin at WR but I personally think WR's are bums.
As a fellow bottom feeder at 0-2, I felt pretty much the same way. The Pats RB situation is a disaster and of all people, I should have seen that coming and taken Turner, T Jones or Graham in the draft instead of bleepin' Maroney. Of course, Rudi Johnson as my RB3 selection was also a stroke of genius.

So, trading off Manning was only road I could really travel to get another solid RB onboard.
Giving up Manning was painful, but I needed a viable RB and McFadden fit the bill (as long as his toe gets better). Getting the moderate WR upgrade and coincidentally snagging Bush via the WW run were plusses. Now I just need Rodgers to keep on doing what he's been doing and maybe I can start competing again.
