If it were up to me I'd just take 'em both out back and shoot 'em.
Other than that, I see no reason that trade in unfair in the least.

Yeah, he had no need for a RB with those studs...

I don't have a problem with it. If I had MBush and Ricky as backups, I'd want Bush too.
this is NON-PPR

thats a fine trade

It might be a slightly unbalanced trade, but not an unfair one. One guy clearly needs a QB and the other guy clearly needs a respectable RB2 (which Bush may or may not be when he comes back)

Eli Manning is 9th right now in FP/G, with Brady, Roethlisberger and Schaub all behind him.emge said:
Funny how FBG has Benson (19), MBush(38), RickyWilliams(46) all ranked higher than Reggie (50).

Seems a little suspect. If I was commish, I'd ask how it helps each of their teams. If they could give a legit reason then by all means, let it go. Can't protect people from their own stupidity but it does seem a little suspect. Is the 8th place team completely out of the playoffs?

As soon as Reggie is ready to play, which looks like after his bye, he will be owned in most leagues. I wouldn't feel comfortable owning him or starting him, but many people will. I'm not here to argue. If you think it's unfair then so be it. I'm just giving my opinion. Unbalanced=yes....Unfair=no

Not every trade has to be 100% "equivalent" for it to make sense. Nor does every trade that seems to favor one side over the other actually work out that way.
I'm glad our league doesn't allow voting on trades. We've had more than 30 trades since the preseason, and it's amazing how much people love managing their own teams the way they want.

If Turner or Benson get dinged up, he needs to hedge his bets. The rankings really don't matter for these players in regards to Bush, Ricky, and Reggie. If Mcfadden, Ronnie, or Thomas get hurt or stay hurt, they each have RB1/2 value. He needs to hedge his bets against a Turner or Benson injury. Turner injury is somewhat likely. Honestly, I'd rather have Snelling than all of his backups, but that's another story...
It'll probably make the Brady owner feel better when Eli outscores Brady - he won't have ulcers from making the wrong lineup moves each week.

Can't get em all right.

Okay...but arguably so is Brady. Who do you think is more likely to get banged up - Turner, Benson or Brady?My point is, trading QB depth for RB depth isn't necessarily a bad idea.emge said:
I'd also like to address this whole "they're brothers" or "they're friends" = assumed collusion. In the real NFL, there are GMs who get along better and are more likely to make deals with each other. The same holds true in FF. In a league I'm in, there are a few teams I have never made a deal with. There are others I have made several deals with. It's not about collusion or even liking one owner more than others - sometimes it's just a comfort level thing. It's also likely that friends or family members talk more often about things - and FF comes up in the discussion.

Stop the nonsense. If all of this was so vital to your initial point, why was it all left out until people started responding? Secondly, you'd really rather have those guys than Reggie Bush?emge said:
Also your rule (which hardly sounds like a rule, if the trade was allowed to go through without this "2 say grace period"), doesn't make sense. Either the league has the power/authority to veto trades or you do (either way, unless there is obvious collusion, it's a moot point. Having the league "voice concerns" is ludicrous - as if no one is biased or has a vested interest.

Is everyone in here telling you it's a perfectly reasonable trade enough to change your mind?emge said:

Agree...these "is this trade fair" threads are getting ridiculous.

I think this is a shaddy thread.emge said:
Eli is a starting QB is most leagues.
Bush is of lower value in a non-PPR league. You could argue Fred Jackson is > Bush. Addai is hurt. However, there aren't many no. 1 RB's this year with all the RBBCs so it is tough to figure out.
If 2 non-related parties made this trade, would you void it?
Could he have easily gotten more for Eli?

Let the trade go through. Karma will take care of everything.Then next year find another league to join if you don't trust the commissioner.emge said:

If I'm the guy who had Eli I'm thinking Turner is sucking it pretty badly, Mike Bush ain't starting again real soon, and the MIA run game has gone south of Cuba, Reggie's coming back and I still have a startable QB to roll with who might improve. If he's in 8th he might need to win the remainder of his games or almost all of them but he still has a shot to win if he can get his RB2 in shape. Makes sense to me.

Footballguy
Me too...based on the fact that after everyone was against his reasoning, he started adding new info every few posts, yet still hadn't convinced anyone. Then one of the parties supposedly "prove him right" by admitting collusion, and all he can update us with is one sentence about it. Yeah Okay.

agree... karma is a whore
I agree. The trade had already gone through. I am not the commish and we dont vote on trades, So I just expressed my opinion by posting a message to the board. Karma is a biaaa.
