ROCKNE 0 Posted August 22, 2006 I have Gates and I am thinking of offering Gates & McCardell for Wayne and Heap. I am weak at WR (although Gates offsets that some). Would this be a good trade for me or should I stay pat? Here's my team: QB - Eli Manning Phillip Rivers RB - Ronnie Brown Chester Taylor Dominic Rhodes Marion Barber Mike Bell Brandon Jacobs WR – Steve Smith Reggie brown Keenan McCardell Reche Caldwell Corey Bradford TE – Antonio Gates K- Adam Viniatieri Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.OG 0 Posted August 22, 2006 I like it.... Im expecting Wayne to have a monster year and Heap will be a regular target for McNair.....I would do it just in case Rivers doesnt perform to his expectations....we all know Manning will. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Muggsy 0 Posted August 22, 2006 If you can get the other owner to agree to that I'd do it quick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NavinRJohnson 10 Posted August 22, 2006 Why bother? When you've got Gates, you've got a weak WR2. That's the name of the game. Didn't you make this decision on draft day? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
admtahoe 0 Posted August 22, 2006 If Im the other owner, there is no way I do that with you. I would not want McCardell and Gates being how they are both from the same team with an unproven QB. No doubt Gates is the best, but Brees made him that way. We don't know if Rivers can keep those stats for Gates. As for McCardell, well I wouldn't even draft him. Heap is is not far off from Gates and Wayne will possibly out produce both of them. Good Luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

matt770 77 Posted August 22, 2006 I wouldn't even consider that deal if you were offering Reggie Brown. For McCardell, laughable... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrTed46 12 Posted August 22, 2006 I would do it. I think heap is going to have a good year and Gates has a new QB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungBob 1 Posted August 22, 2006 I would make the offer, but I wouldn't lose any sleep waiting for it to be accepted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kingsleyjr 0 Posted August 22, 2006 "No doubt Gates is the best, but Brees made him that way." Are u on crack ! Brees didnt make him anything . He is an amazing talent and Brees has had 1 good year( and it was really just so-so). That being said Make the deal if u can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who does the TE and WR rely on to throw the ball? Get real The loss of Brees is a big impact on Gates. Im not saying Gates is not a good TE, Im just saying I don't know if Rivers can deliver. Take another example. If it weren't for Culepepper rocketing the ball down field Moss would not be known as a great receiver. There are few QB's that can feed a Receiver like Moss, or owens or gates. But last time I looked, they don't do it by themselves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Another thing, you're telling the poster to make the deal but you're saying Gates is an amazing talent. With that being said why would you suggest he trade away gates? he is giving up gates for heap and the other part of that post is that he gets Wayne. I would take Wayne any day of the week over McCardell and Gates combined. Wayne should have 10-15 TD's this year, will Gates? Maybe. Heap is also a good talented TE with a Good QB. The combo of the package is worth the deal, I just don't think the other team will go for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
