Mendenhall and F.Jackson are my starters atm.

That's because you have a huge hard-on for Stafford this year.

**Tyche** · 2011-09-20 12:56

My team pretty much sucks, seems every player I wanted went a few spots before me. There was so much QQing from me in the draft room chat lol.

Fitzpatrick (just traded Flacco + Manningham for Fitz and Jacoby Ford)
Orton
M. Forte
A. Bradshaw
D. Williams
J. Stew
CJ Spiller
R. White
H. Nicks
D. Henderson
J. Ford
O. Daniels
Ed Dickson
Josh Brown
Ravens

This is true, but no one is going to give up a #1 RB/WR for a guy you'll be using as matchup fodder. And nobody starts Eli, wtf you thinking.

^

And I didn't have to give up a starter to get him, much less a #1 RB

Again. That's not what I'm looking for. It just happened to be that the only player I would have considered from your team was a top 10 RB.

G'damn assumptions.

**Tyche** · 2011-09-20 13:11

You wouldn't trade Cam Newton for Roddy White or Hakeem Nicks (both #1 or borderline #1 WRs)? I realize you have Welker and Marshall, still, you're not going to get any better WRs for Cam.

**Gadritan** · 2011-09-20 13:24

No, because I'm not big on either of them and that's not really what I'm looking for.

holy god @ valuing cam more than nicks and roddy. makes me roflcopter

Petition to start counting YAC as double, fuck Welker.

IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING THE RESULTS OF TRADE THUS FAR.

Maclin+Felix= 50.33 points

Greene+nicks = 38.1

DUMB FOOTBALL FAN.

**Tyche** · 2011-09-20 13:31

It doesn't matter if you are high on them or not...they are worth more. You said you like Forte. Let's say that Bregor has Forte and I'm willing to trade you Cam Newton for Roddy White. Do you think you're more likely to be able to trade Bregor Roddy White for Matt Forte or Cam Newton for Matt Forte?

Just because you trade for them doesn't mean you have to keep them, they are worth more, and you are more likely to get a player you do want with Roddy White than you are for Cam Newton.

All the result of Maclin dropping 30 in one game.

**Tyche** · 2011-09-20 13:34

Not to mention that moving a WR in a league where 24 start is a hell of a lot easier to move and much more valuable than a QB in a league where only 12 QBs start. It'll be much much easier to find a trade partner for Roddy White than for Cam Newton.

In this purely hypothetical scenario I would just like to say that I want Roddy White.

lol @ pretending you started Maclin for those points. How much did those 30 points help you on the bench?

I would guess you started Jones though

Hahaha. Forgot about that. Maclin was on your damn bench. I think you're the dumb football fan for posting that Leroy.

**tyven** · 2011-09-20 13:41

FUCKING PWNED

**Gadritan** · 2011-09-20 13:42

You're 100% right Tyche.
