Trade ? - The Orange Mane

Hotrod · 09-30-2004, 08:27 AM

D. Davis & C. Chambers for H. Ward and T. Bell

Rascal · 09-30-2004, 08:47 AM

Which would you be getting?

Until Bell actually starts to get more playing time I would have a hard time sacrificing a legitimate starter for him.

I would be getting Ward & Bell. Im really hurting this year. 1-2 and only beat one dead team. If Bell came on it might help turn things around abit. The way I sit Im getting kicked in the nappy.

Um crap

QB = Green, Garcia, Harrington
RB = LT, D. Davis, T henry, J Bettis, J Fargas , L Johnson
WR = D mason, E mounds, D Watts, C Chambers, N Burleson, M booker
TE = E Johnson

Start 2 qb, 3 rb, 3 wr, 1 te

If you need to start 3 rbs I would stay away from that trade. Chambers is an adequate WR and you can always dig up sleepers on the waiver wire. IMO runners are far more valuable and you would be giving up one of your three starting RB for a guy with 3 carries on the year.

I was just looking at that if I did that trade who would be my 3rd back

T Bell is he gets the nod someday or LJ if he gets traded and starts. Well I many be 1-2 and not looking good but Im still in better shape than the chefs.

Rascal · 09-30-2004, 10:36 AM

I would not accept that trade. If you need to start three RB's you have three HEALTHY STARTING RB's. That is a rarity right now with injuries being so prevalent.

Just because you are 1-2 doesn't mean anything. LT and Dom haven't been performing early but that doesn't mean to give up on them yet.

Try to keep an eye on waiver wire and see if you can snatch Michael Clayton, Rache Caldwell, or Keary Colbert at WR. I was weak at WR and picked them up earlier. The might not get you a whole lot right now but I think they will turn things around especially Colbert and Clayton. They won't be #1's by any means but could turn into reliable #3's and if your lucky #2's if the correct matchup is found.

If you feel the need to upgrade at QB see if Collins is available. And at RB see if Steckler (doubtful he is), Leonard Henry (new starter at Miami), or Antose Pinner (with K Jones being out 2-4 weeks) for RB help if you think you need it. People are saying to stay away from any Miami RB but a starting RB even on a pathetic team has some value IMO.

One thing I learned the hard this season allready is not make a trade just to make a trade, sometimes doing nothing is the correct move.

Thanks for the advice. Think I will just still still for the moment.

Hotrod · 09-30-2004, 10:42 AM

I think the QB position is killing me the most.

Rascal · 09-30-2004, 10:51 AM

Yeah it looks like it. But that KC offense can't continue to be mediocre for long especially with their WR's coming back. McCardell could also provide a lift should that trade go through.

I would wait another week or two before making any drastic changes.

How bad did you lose your two games? If you have been scoring 80 or above I wouldn't be concerned because your star performers haven't been performing. If you've scored below that then I would start thinking about changing things up but I would still wait.

dustybottoms · 09-30-2004, 01:03 PM

Chambers hasn't given me **** this year. and HInes ward is tearing it up as usual.

its risky but I would take the trade. I think there is both more upside and immediate points since Davis is knicked and questionable for this weeks game.

OrangeKnight · 09-30-2004, 05:17 PM

I agree with those above about not takeing it. I did pick up Bell in the one league I pay the closest attintion to but it is Keeper league. Where I get to keep same players year to year. He is takeing up my spot I resurve for players who will do good latter on probley not this year but next. Griffen I love and hope has the staying power but they spent a 2nd round pick on him....... Shanny dosent do that unless he has a plan for him. the holding out at begining worried me. shows lack of class and cheracter I want those players who are playing for love of game more then money. That said guess how well I do every year...... Im not last I can say that at least.
Chambers I have been burned on I will give him that he dosent show up untill latter in year, but he has shown up after awhile and makes great points latter in year. (I had him traded him and he killed me both times I had play against him latter on) but still not worth it. QB's I am not one to talk I never pick up the GREAT QB's I always seem to hit on the ones no one expects but puts up decante numbers. so I wont even give any advice there

yavoon · 09-30-2004, 07:03 PM

basically ur taking an enormous guess on bells production. I wouldn't do it. too homer.

MileHighMania · 10-02-2004, 08:25 AM

Bell is an unknown. Chambers is hurt and will probably miss this game in week 4. Miami sucks and you have their 2 receivers - that's not good.

I don't know that I would do the deal - esp since you start 3 RBs. It's an attractive option, but you would then have only 2 starting RBs and that won't help you get over the 1-2 hump.
