Give Up Ricky???
« on: Sep 9th, 2003, 7:56pm »		 Quote Quote Modify Modify
The offered trade on the table is I give Ricky Williams I get Harrison, and C. Martin.  Should I pull the trigger with my roster or ask for more?  Any help/advice is much appreciated.  Thanks.
 
My current roster:
 
QB- P Manning, S McNair
 
RB- R Williams, K Barlow, L Toefield, A Smith, N Davenport
K Faulk, J Bettis
 
WR- R Smith, J Smith, C Chambers, D Boston
 
TE- T Gonzalez, C Lewis
 
Defense- Buccaneers
 
K- D Akers

Don't do it.  CuMar is not the same RB he used to be and you're a little bit weak at RB behind Williams already.

NO WAY YOU CAN DO THIS TRADE..   Your starting running corp would leave something to be desired.

I made the same mistake two years ago trading Faulk for S. Davis, T. Gonzalez, and Lavernues Coles.
 
Don't choose quality over quantity. RW will single-handedly win some games for you this season.  
 
If you had a solid #2 like a Ja Lewis or a Corey Dillon, I'd consider it, but I think your RB core is faulty as it is.  
 
Plus, your WR situation is quite solid.

Though I don't see this deal as quantity for quality, I would NOT consider doing it based on the make-up of your team.  If your roster were different, i.e. receiver needy and running back heavy, I might advise differently.  But, that is NOT the case, so don't do it!

Don't do it. RW is still a STUD. Harrison is too, but your RB core is not very deep and CMART is on the downslide on a shitty team.

I think if you do this trade, the people on this board will throw things at you!!
 
All kidding aside, stand pat. RW will be top 5 statwise while C-Mart is fading.  
 
Oh, and welcome to the Gridiron Tony!

i agree with what everyone else on the board said.  in addition, i think that the owner that has harrison is kind of down on him because of what he did in the first week (if so, big mistake).  
 
In addition, i think that you have decent wide receivers.  chambers seems to finally be breaking through and once plummer gets comfortable, rod smith's stats will get better.

Think positive.
Ricky will get near 1800 yards.  So that leaves 1700+ for the last 15 games.
Don't think about it.
Plus if you are looking at one bad week.  Harrison didn't do too much.
 
Maybe Vandejagt is right!  Oops maybe that should be another thread.

I have Harrison in every league this year, and everyone has been trying to get him from me with all sorts of bogus trades.  Now if someone offered me RW.....
I agree.  Don't do it.  Short of injuries, he's the Miami O.
