for no reason.
While I think its a horrible trade how can you think that there is no TE issue? Have you looked at Witten's numbers this year? Its a big issue that I don't see getting better anytime soon.I also think that if this trade went down for the other TE on the guy's roster, Gonzalez, you wouldn't be thinking twice about it because of the name. McMichael's is proabbly the better option right now. Harrington is targeting him about 10 times a game
With LJ and Parker, I am guessing Bell might be on the bench as well. Witten has done nothing so far this season, and McMichael's is starting to become a favorite of Harrington.If this was a keeper or dynasty league trade, it would seem the Bell owner would need to get more for him. In redraft, trades like this happen more often than not (Trading bench players for possible starters).
I have Witten on one of my teams and it is an issue. Maybe if you know so much more than the rest of the league you should move on.
If it's not collusion..stop crying! You can do a search here at FBG's on COLLUSION (about 10hours of reading).This trade was just accepted in my 10 man re-draft league. I put a veto request in to the commissioner and it was rejected. (I know there was one other person that did as well). First time I play in this league and I know just one other player ... it's a new start up and I find that it's things like this that makes me NOT want to return next year. I don't know if I have a legitimate beef or am I just
It wasnt collusion (as far as it seems) and only bad commishes "call out", or veto, bad trades.
Possible top 5 or 10 RB for a TE that he didn't even need? No, this is not a perfectly good trade.
League integrity is intact. Anyone had a chance to go after Bell, the other owners didn't. That is their fault.Why punish the guy who made a good deal just because he worked the phones harder than the other owners? All this does is punish the quick and reward the slow.
Yep, because we don't babysit our owners.
What do you mean he didn't need a TE ? He only had Jason ####### Whitten !I hear people keep saying Bell is a POSSIBLE top 5 or 10 back, but he hasn't shown it yet.I own him, and am waiting for it to happen.On the other hand, in the last three weeks, McMichael is third in my league for TE's, only 1.8 points from being #1. Behind Winslow & Gates, not bad company. Plenty fair trade !!
By Jason ####### Whitten do you mean Jason Witten the pro-bowler? No, he didn't need a TE. And to give Tatum Bell for a TE is ridiculous. Tatum Bell hsn't shown he's a top 5 or 10 back? The TDs haven't been there but the yardage has been. It's a matter of time until he gets TDs too.
Sorry for the typo, nit picker.If Witten is a pro bowler at seasons end (fantasy wise), please let me know. I won't be holding my breath, don't worry.Again with Bell, It's all POTENTIAL, which has not been there yet. And yes, Im a Bell owner, so I know how he's been doing. I'm hoping it comes quick just as much as the next Bell owner.In the last three weeks for each player, Bell has 47.5, and McMichael has 39. A WHOPPING difference of 2.33 points per week (thats my league scoring, yours may be different). You say it's all about the TD's, the TD's will come, Well maybe the TD's will come for McMichael also, he has not scored a TD all season.If you would have read all my posts (post 6 to be exact), I did say he probably could have got more,but with this trade he sure as hell improved his starting lineup, which is what counts.Quit the man love for Witten.
still pretty bad...
