trade help???

[ims0phat]

i was proposed:
i get:
santana moss, wr
steve mcnair, qb

i trade:
clinton portis, rb
josh mccown, qb

i have marc bulger but was definitely looking to upgrade at qb... and steve mcnair is a hell of an upgrade. but im not gonna lie im a huge redskins fan, and i was really excited about clinton portis. the thing is, i was trying to deal one of my rb's because i am stacked w/ portis, jamal lewis, fred taylor, and stephen davis. should i expect the same numbers out of santana moss? let me know what you guys think about this trade. im a little skeptical but the more i think about it the more i think i would probably be an idiot to decline it... am i?

First of all, I don't know your scoring system. Maybe it's slanted heavily towards QB points. If not, there is no way I trade a top three RB for a QB - any QB.

Just Say NO !

Portis will be a top three or four RB. Lewis' legal problems could have him missing some games. Davis has Foster right behind him and from what I've heard from some friends in Carolina, this could be a 2-1 split on playing time. Take away a third of Davis production and he's an average back. Taylor is a great back but has a history of injuries and he's not playing on a great team.

Under ideal conditions, this is an outstanding group of RBs. I'm just pointing out some of the risks. I'd keep Portis and look to deal one of the others.

Bulger is a decent QB, it's not an urgent situation to upgrade. After the top three, there are a whole group of QB who will all be productive. Be a little more patient and shot one of the other backs for a QB.

Yeah noway, Terrible offer! Portis is going to have a great year? IS it a keeper League?

[ims0phat]

nope, not a keeper league. aight thanks for the advice. its just hard to find offers for taylor and davis which is surprising. its like the guys in my league dont realize how good of a rb taylor is to be benched. so im trying to trade him and then davis would be a good 3rd rb.

I'm sure the other guys in your league have some of the same reservations about those guys that I mentioned earlier. Talk to the guy who had Ricky Williams or Buckhalter

[ims0phat]

buckhalter went undrafted in my league... and the dude who lost ricky williams hardly does anything in the league... but i might as well try him

[>TC<]

Just some ideas. The other guy to try is the one who has Henry. His injury, plus McGehee, should be making that owner nervous
