Dynasty league
Traded Thomas Jones + Aaron Rodgers
for
Carson Palmer and 1st round pick in 2007
????I'm sorry, but that person you got Palmer and the 1st rounder from is a fool.
Wow that was rather harsh...Hmmmm there was reasoning behind this trade, like Biabreakable said I am in first place with a record of 8-2 and am pushing to win this year...
I am always one of the top teams and am always in the playoffs but always lose because of my RB's...
So the rationale for this trade is:
I can either start 3 RBs and 3WRs or 2 RBs and 4 WRs. As we all know WRs are a gamble from week to week whereas most RBs you can start and expect some decent points from...
My options were to start: QB - Palmer RBs - Tiki and Gado with my WRs - Horn, Ward, Boldin and Braylon Edwards or Ernest Wilford
Now I can start - QB -Favre RB's- Tiki, TJ and Gado WR's - Horn, Ward and Boldin...
Basically taking a small drop from Palmers production to Favre but gaining TJ's production over Braylon Edwards which is a much larger jump over the final weeks and into the playoffs...
My main concern is TJ staying healthy not the loss of Palmers production...
For next year I have either Favre or his replacement Rodgers along with Losman, Frye, McPhereson and Harrington. I will need one of them to step up that is true, I think the odds are good and again I traded with an eye to this years championship...
True I gave up my 1st rounder in 2007, that may come back and bite me in the butt, still there is a lot of time to make trades and prepare for that season...
If I win this season then the trade was a good one for me becasue that was the purpose of this trade and I will still have a good team next year and did not lose next years 1st round draft pick...
I am not too much of a fool I lead the league in wins, total points and power ranking, but your input is appreciated...
