McDaniels
It's not a fantasy football trade.
Can you post your full league scoring?
You have got to be kidding. First of all Henne will be MUCH better than Orton, in short order. And now we can actually start the guy confidently week in/week out like I did before McDaniels came along.
Apples and oranges. Sure Marshall has plenty of baggage but heA) Wasn't going to be suspended 4 games to start the last year of his contract.B) Wasn't going to be cut by his previous team if they couldn't find the right price.
that and Marshall>>Holmes
continues......Is that you B?continues......
They raved about him in pre season last year.
lol
I don't really understand the unbridled enthusiasm for Henne a lot of folks seem to have. Sure, he seems like a decent prospect, but he certainly hasn't been "lights out".He was 24th in the league in YPA, 22nd in QB rating, 22nd in yards per game.He had more ints than TDs, and won about half of his games.Orton was far better in every measurable category. Team/situation has a lot to do with that, but I just don't think I'd be jumping for joy about replacing Kyle Orton with Henne at this point.
Will having Marshall as the #1 provide enough for Ginn to become a solid contributor or will he simply continue as an overhyped high draft pick?
AGREED>...I think there was too much made of the Holmes deal - Mostly by Steeler haters...The Jets are basically renting Holmes for 12 games and gave away a 5th round pick for that right.Miami probably has their #1 WR for a real long time.It will be interesting to see what kind of deal Marshall gets which should blow away anything Holmes or Edwards could command.
No love for Hartline, I like him and think he's got a lot of upside.
To a degree you are right. Marshall is a superior talent to Holmes. Marshall can be a top five receiver for a number of years. Holmes has the potential to be perhaps top ten, maybe top fifteen. Holmes is getting suspended for four games, but both players are one mistake away from a possible one year suspension. Both will have to be signed to a big money contract to keep them. Marshall will have to be signed right away. Holmes is not a free agent until after this season. You can have Holmes come in and compete for a year and see if he can keep his nose clean. Marshall you have to sign to a big contract right away. So with Marshall you have to trust that he will stay out of trouble. There is more upside to Marshall, but there is also more immediate risk. All things taken in to consideration, I'd want Holmes for a fifth, despite the four game suspension, before I'd take Marshall for two seconds, particularly when I could wait a year to sign Holmes to that big contract.
Ginn won't be a Dolphin. They are shopping him, and will eventually take whatever they can get for him.
I think Ginn has value as a ST returner but clearly his WR skills are lacking.
Agruably the best deep threat / stretch the field wideout in Miami last year.
We'll see. Who is the best deep threat there? Hartline? He is the one I would like opposite Marshall.
Two seconds. And (reportedly) the biggest WR contract in the history of the NFL.Not saying it's a bad idea, but not exactly that clear cut.
How can you bump him up? His only value was as a possession guy, already catching the most balls on the team but for a really low YPC. He'll simply catch fewer balls now with Marshall getting his 90+, he's not a TD threat, so what is there to bump up over last year's numbers? I think his temporary value just took a hit.
