First week I've started CAM all year (Rodgers owner) and so far loving the CAM!
Youre nuts if you dont trade 1 of them for a top RB or WR..Waste of a bench spot
Most Cam owners are asking way too much...even for CAM.
Id trade Rodgers before Cam just because I could get more for him probablyI traded Nicks/Freeman for Cam/SMoss like a month ago. I wouldve like to keep the stud WR, but Freeman and Ryan werent cutting it. Still feel good about it. CAM :football:
A couple of different people offered me Cam...all they wanted was both Nicks and Bowe :rolleyes:
 
For what it's worth, in my league this week Newton was traded with Green-Ellis for Andre Johnson and Sam Bradford.

ETA: This is a redraft league.

I don't really understand most Cam owners. In most of my leagues they are sitting on Cam with a stud like Brady and still will only offer ridiculous trades. I would rather have one of those guys sitting on their bench than strengthen their team to the degree that they are asking.
 
A little description of the plays would be nice.
HTH.Give to AP. Grabbed around the 4 yard line, almost drug down. Spin move while being held, literally 'hops' of the defender's grasp, another guy hits him but he manages to get into the endzone.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mare misses.. VIKINGS WIN!!! :excited: :excited: :excited:

Way to go Ponder and AP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

 
Ponder didn't look quite as good as I hoped he would in this one. His stat line looks solid but a good portion of the passing yardage came on short passes with good running after the catch. AD had 76 yards receiving with probably close to have of it coming on a few shovel passes. Ponder also hit Harvin and his TEs on short routes throughout the game. His best ball was a well placed over the shoulder throw to Aromashodu for a 15 yard game. The placement made the catch relatively easy and put it out of reach of the DB. Last week Woodson picked off a similar route when Ponder threw it flat instead of over the top of the defender as he did here. He also picked up a few 3rd and longs with well timed routes to Shiancoe and continued to show off his ability to buy time in the pocket.

Your description sounds better than your first sentence.For a rookie, this is what you want from him.1. Short, accurate, quick-release passes.2. Recognition of his best weapon - ADP.3. Learning from game to game - threw over the top as opposed to flat when he got picked last week.4. Picking up 3rd and long with 'well timed passes'He is the perfect West Coast QB. He is accurate, can buy time in the pocket, and is smart with his reads. For his 2nd start in the NFL, I am thrilled as a Vikes fan and Ponder owner.
