Welcome to Our Forums. Once you've registered and logged in, you're primed to talk football, among other topics, with the sharpest and most experienced fantasy players on the internet.
I hope you are not assuming that all I do is look at the numbers, cause I sure as hell don't.
If my math is correct his second half splits were:
Chemistry issues between a rookie WR who came to camp late and a crappy QB in his 2nd year??? The HELL you say. 1st time for everything, right?
You are looking far too deep into the stats though.
I didn't watch the games in enough detail to know who was drawing what kind of coverage. All I know is that Shorts was much more efficient and productive with an identical supporting cast. He had more yards, a higher catch %, a much higher yards per target average, more TDs, and 17 catches of 20+ yards compared to 9 for Blackmon. Shorts outplayed Blackmon by a pretty wide margin over the course of the whole season. Whether that's due to experience, easier coverage, or superior talent, I don't know. Probably some combination of those factors. I wouldn't say Shorts is definitely better than Blackmon, but it's weird that so many people have him rated so low and Blackmon so high when he was actually the better receiver last year.
If there were 40 WRs on the Cardinals with better stats than Fitzgerald, that might be worth discussing.
You might be able to find some answers here, or some advice:http://forums.footballguys.com/forum/index.php?showforum=12
No go for me. Take away the 2nd rd piks from each side. That means Dez is equal to two 1st rd picks/one 2nd rd and jeffrey/randle.I wouldn't pay two 1st and a second alone unless the two first are mid-late, let alone a 1.02
You are aware this is the 2013 draft class right?
Clearly I was responding to the "let alone pick 2" comment.
Honestly, that wasn't clear to me. I thought you may have missed that the majority of the picks traded were for next year.
The 2nd rounders do nothing for me. Also, this is a league where in February you have to cut down to 14 QB/RB/WR/TE. That also plays a very large factor, and actually in this thread all the FFPC trades should be labeled as such to put trades like this in better perspective.

Ah, good ole Ground & Pound (Jeremy Roach & Danny Mueller) adding another elite player and putting together my kind of team with a very similar taste in players. Nicely done. I’ve been following you guys and the portfolio you are building and really think you’ll be making a lot of money in dynasty in the near future. In fact, I consider you guys as possibly the single greatest threat down the road to my career dynasty gross winnings record (unofficial), particularly if you can win a string of titles in the $2500 (for a ridiculous $15,000+ per title). Good luck to you guys.BallzDeep said:
Is it that they are so good, or the other people are so bad for giving away their players. Maybe a bit of both.
And I just did this with the guy that acquired Shorts since he didn't need to keep anyone elseGave 4.07Received: Rod Streater, 6.09. Was going to keep NE DST..
That's irrelevant to me. Every team in the league has a chance to make the same kind of deals. When I see a team "take advantage" of another team I never think about it terms of they did not do a good job because they obviously did. Instead I usually am upset at myself for not being proactive enough to offer up similar deals. It's like I'll say things to myself like why did I not think to make an offer like that?
I'd go the other way. I've got Martin as my #2 RB and CJ #3. Even with this foot issues I'd still take Garcon over VJAX and I consider there to be a price for patience so I consider a late current first rounder to generally be on par with a future first rounder even if it's a better class unless you have a strong confidence that future first is going to be a high pick.SpineDoc said:
First off I want to clarify and clear Danny from your statement. I make 95% of the offers of the teams Danny and I share, so you think I make the consistently worst offers. Perhaps this idea is because of the leagues I am in with you, I am one of the few people who actually make offers. Off the top of my head I can only think of 750#2 and John's Big F'n league that I am still in with you. Previously when I had a team in HOF and that 500 you referenced, am I missing one? Ironically of all the FFPC leagues I am in, 750#2 and that 500 are/ were by far the most boring (not implying you at all, mere coincidence). That is the reason I put my team FOR SALE in 500 and did not "bail" on it. I simply asked Dave to post it for sale and if it didn't sell in 2-3 weeks, we were staying. The lack of inactivity drove me away, and owners not even answering emails for months.
I did not mean to use the term "bail" as a negative. Never meant that it that way at all and your right it's a boring league but not nearly as bad as Big F'ing which is hard as could be to make a trade's in. I'd also add in the $750 league about 80% of my trades have either been with your or CKC otherwise not exactly a super active league either. I just generally like having you in my league due to your activity level and yes you do make a lot of trade offers which is why I like being in leagues with you.
I also got a Charles offer last year and I can't recall the details except to say Charles was the best player I would have got back and Helu would have been the best player I gave up. I turned it down, easily. I know I was giving up more than Helu but without remembering the details I'm pretty sure it was a huge mistake turning down that offer.
I couldn't disagree more. There have been several times I have offered much more for a guy, only to have that team turn around and trade him to someone else much cheaper than I had offered.
