driveby Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 I'm trying to swing a trade for LT and am thinking of offering Dillon and Willie Parker for LT and Bell. I already have Dayne and Deuce. Denver homers, what's the consensus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conehead116 Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 When did Bell ever actually have the starting position let alone "get it back"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumpin Johnies Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 When did Bell ever actually have the starting position let alone "get it back"? 991923[/snapback] I was thinking the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilwoman Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 I was thinking the same thing. 991941[/snapback] Yeah it sounds like if Anderson can play with the pain he will be starting...to me thats amazing that Shannahan would rather start someone in pain, but if Anderson is that much better then Bell makes you wonder???

Ursa Majoris Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 If I was the LT owner, there's no way I'd make this trade, though, whether Bell starts or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs 2 starting runningbacks and I'm trying to hook a brother up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driveby Posted September 15, 2005 Author Share Posted September 15, 2005 Why do people even join leagues where a trade like this is possible? Hmmm......downgrade LT (a god) to Dillon (a mere mortal), just to get willie parker for a week or two, and get bell to boot. It's like when I play ping pong with my 6 year old nephew, it just isn't much fun. Moreover, why waste our time on a question like this. 992239[/snapback] I asked for an opinion, not a lecture. Instead of showing your here newbie, feel free to breeze right on by next time. K? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LT/Bell for Dillon/Parker looks bad now? That will change and may look good in a few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackass Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 trade's not that bad. i think LT for dillon and parker looks a bit more reasonable though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already have Dayne and Deuce. Denver homers, what's the consensus? 991870[/snapback] I like it. If you are giving a guy with no hope a reason to live for a couple of weeks, only to be crushed later, what is the harm in that. It's fair on paper at this moment in time and that's all that matters.

Avernus Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 people act as if LT2 is the leading scorer every year and gets 2000 rush yds and 1000 rec yds or something.... the one getting Parker and Dillon is making even and creating balance...

I think those 2 could put up similar numbers when all is said and done, then the trade is reduced to Dillon for LT2, and no sane person would make that trade.

Bell does nothing. Parker puts up numbers similar to Dillon. (unlikely) He is still starting Tomlinson and Mcallister every week. I can't think of any reason not to try that trade. Parkers value is at its peak right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimm74 Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 I am going to contunie to hijack this thread. I am a Pittsburgh homer and I am telling you Parker is not leaving in two weeks unless he gets hurt which can happen to anyone. Staley and Bettis both have stated that even when they are healthy Parker needs to stay in. I value their opinion more then us fantasy knuckle heads. LT sure gets a lot of love around the fantasy world but in my league scoring last year LT, S Alex, Edge, Barber, and Martin scored 24 points within each other for the year. That hardly makes LT a god. I think that Dillon and Parker trade for LT is very fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zia Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 on such trades you will get NOTHING but lecturers. whatever league it is, he cannot win with this deal. the only SLIGHT point to make this deal worth it would be a yardage heavy re-draft league, and even then.....
