DNorbsODS Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Ok, so my team is pretty deep everywhere except for QB, where I don't even have one legit player at the moment. I have been offered Peyton Manning for Torry Holt, Frank Gore and Shockey... I know I am giving up a lot, but I feel like I can afford it. Current team: QB- ???? Big Ben, Carr, and an injured Hasselbeck RB's: Gore, Tiki, Drougns, Dominic Rhodes (soon to be Brandon Jacobs) WR: Holt, Coles, Colston, Chambers TE: Shockey, Desmond Clark PK: Rayner, Carney DST: Jags, Vikings Current best lineup: QB: ??? RB: Gore and Tiki WR: Holt and Colston TE: Shockey PK: Carney/Rayner DST: Jags/Vikes if I make the deal... lineup: QB: Manning RB: Tiki, Droughns WR's: Coles and Colston TE: Desmond Clark PK: Rayner/Carney DST: Jags/Vikes I lose a lot of depth with the deal, but I feel like the new lineup (assuming no injuries, ect.) is pretty formidable.... any and all opinions are appreciated...

lawn saver Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I would probably take this trade. How many teams in the league? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolv Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I wouldn't take it - thats a raping. No way Manning makes up for that points loss. Both Drougns and Coles are extremely hit and miss, and are best suited to play matchups with. I'd hate to be forced to start both of them. There should be a few decent backups out there you can trade for without giving up near so much. Who is this guys backup to Manning? I just traded for Drew Brees from a Manning owner last week.

hutchprime Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 There's NOBODY on your WW that you can plug in until Hass gets back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolv Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 There's NOBODY on your WW that you can plug in until Hass gets back? A good point too. Romo plays Wash and Ari next 2 weeks - should be a decent filler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNorbsODS Posted November 1, 2006 Author Share Posted November 1, 2006 I pulled the trigger...I can't sit around with waiver wire scrubs until Hasselbeck get's back...I have scored in the 50's the last two weeks with garbage QB's (luckily I got one lucky win) when I normally average around 80 points... I feel like Shockey to Desmond Clark is not a big loss at all...Shockey is completely hit or miss.. Obviously losing Holt hurts, but I think his best games of the year are over and I got what I could out of him. Hate losing Gore as well, but San Fran gets down early and often abandons the run...Gore has also not played a full season and may break down as well... I think the points I will lose from downgrading from Gore to Drougns and Holt to Coles will be surpassed by the amount I gain from Peyton... Wish me luck.

DNorbsODS Posted November 1, 2006 Author Share Posted November 1, 2006 Just wanted to add that my league gives 6 points for passing tds just as it does for rushing and receiving td's...not sure if that makes it look like any less of a stupid trade to you guys... I'm confident.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarryTheRock Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Not stupid, you're just more of a gambler than I am. I'll second that. I don't think I would have the guts to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReturnToSender Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I wouldn't have for sure, you should have looked to trade for a Brees, or Grossman, or hell, Carson Palmer and not given up so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNorbsODS Posted November 1, 2006 Author Share Posted November 1, 2006 I tried a different approach this year...I have had nice leads about midway through seasons, made no changes, sat back and my just didn't cut it come playoff time. This season, I'm trying to go for the throat while I can and if it means taking some risks, so be it. I also know full well that if I suffer an injury NOW, my team is finished. But I have to assume that I won't and move forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNorbsODS Posted November 1, 2006 Author Share Posted November 1, 2006 I wouldn't have for sure, you should have looked to trade for a Brees, or Grossman, or hell, Carson Palmer and not given up so much. In my league, this was the only move I could have made for a QB. The lesser QB's like you mentioned are number one's on some teams. The other decent trade-worthy QB's are on the bench of guys who are never willing to make trades. Thus, I had to bolster one of the worst teams who happened to have Manning (and almost nothing else). I offered a guy who has the most QB depth (Vick and Bulger) some pretty decent deals (Gore and Coles I believe) for Vick or Bulger, but he wouldn't budge. I guess he is happy having one rot on his bench every week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
