Nobody - but you're using that "logic" to reduce how horrible the trade is.
Based on your "logic", people should trade the 1.1 for Terrell Owens. After all, he is an elite talent who has put up elite numbers against elite competition, and the 1.1 is a total crapshoot.My point about Deangelo for Mccoy is that its possible that the guy who was willing to give up a proven elite talent for a basic unknown maybe saw something in both players that made him feel the upside was worth the risk. Same thing could apply with the guy who traded CJ for Ingram.
Who says the guy is even taking Ingram? In a 16 team ppr where you can start 1rb and 4 wr, a top wr has as much if not more value thsn a top RB. Maybe he thinks, along with alot if people, that the to two WRs in this class are can't miss prospects.
The fact that he also got a another young WR with good upside and a top pick next year at least makes this a trade where I dont understand how anyone can say its horrible.
So if I say Chris Johnson is an elite player you're going to try and lump Terrell Owens with him? I'm sorry, I didn't realize I had to list
all of the reasons that Chris Johnson is an elite fantasy player, I suppose I over-estimated my audience.You were the first one to mention Ingram's name, not me. And I get your point about the McCoy trade, I already addressed it in my previous post - obviously anything can happen, some bad trades end up being good, etc, but you can say that about
any trade. If that is all you're going to bring to trade discussions, do not bother posting, everyone who knows anything about fantasy football knows that stud players can fall off and no-name players can emerge from everywhere, etc. It's just a cliche, and really has nothing to do with the fact that players have value and trading players is participating in a market, and, regardless of how confident you might be in the rookie you might get with a 2012 1st round pick that you don't know the position of, this trade is selling Chris Johnson
far below what his value should be. So, it's a horrible trade.
Even if he thinks Johnson is worth this, he should know enough to know that Johnson is worth more than this, and should get the most of what he's trading. It's trading 101.
