Trade: Tomlinson for CPepp?

I've got Vick and recently acquired BigBen. I had Collins but dropped him for all the obvious reasons. I'm 1-4 and desparately need a QB who can score positive pts.  | I DIGRESS...
I would be 3-2 if I had a QB who reliably got me 10 stinkin points! 1TD & 80 yds passing, too much to ask?? Vick SUCKS!  |

So I've been offered, unsolicited, the following: I get David Carr, he gets LT2. Obviously he thinks I'm a moron, which my wife would agree with, but that's a different story. I'm thinking of countering LT2 for CPepp.
My other RBs: Chris Brown & Bennett. We start 2 + 1 WR/RB flex.
So I'm obviously upgrading my QB, but I'm in a world of hurt at RB. There's not much on the WW, best prospects:
Richie Anderson & R Lee
Pittman
Pinner
I'd probably grab Pittman, who's scored 3 & 8 in the two games he's played, by my leagues scoring.
Like I said, I'm 1-4 and going up against an undefeated team this week. Need a win or my season is pretty much done.
Opinions? Thanks!

LT will explode, like Ricky did in 2003? Like CMart in 2002? Like Ahman so far in 2004? Or Portis in 2004?
Every year there is a superstar that goes early and doesn't perform.
As far as a wait and see approach, I don't have that luxury. Sure, I can wait another 3 weeks. Lose 3 more games, then take solace in the fact that my 1-7 team ended up 6-8. I didn't make the playoffs, didn't win any money, but hey! I stuck with my guys and they eventually came around!
Just trying to decide if I gotta get something done now.

I shot high and offered him LT2 for CPepp & D Davis. I'm sure he'll decline, but we have at least set the bar high.

He has DDavis, WGreen, Edge & Duckett. I don't see Carr as that much of an upgrade over Big Ben, so I don't think I'll settle for less than CPepp.

I agree, short term these guys could plug in. Minny has a lot of weak pass Ds on their schedule, so a lost TD from LT2 is almost certainly picked up by CPepp.

Again, I don't have much flexibility to wait for Vick and/or LT2 to turn it on. At 1-4, I've got only 1-2 losses left. If I fall to .500, doubtful to make the playoffs. It's all well and good to say he'll turn it around, but what good does that do a 1-6 team?

I don't need 5 TDs, I JUST NEED 1 OR 2 WITHOUT 3 FUMBLES AND AN INT. VICK SUCKS!

WEEK 10!!! I'll be 1-9 by then with his super-human-sure-to-be-a-HOFer performances the last 3 weeks (-1, 3, -2)

does he? does his injury-prone history coupled with the fact that he's underperforming just plain not performing make him of any use for 4 more weeks (til week 10).

Why wait 1 more week? if he's not going to grasp the O til week 10, what's 1 more week get me?

just to be clear, I'm not dumping Vick, i'm attempting to upgrade my QB while Vick continues to suck major a$$. I think I can cover LT2s output with CPepp, and am trying to decide if I can get enough more from CPepp to cover the drop off in RBs I'll take on.

call me crazy...but i've won 4/6 championships 
, and i still say a stud qb was the difference - mine were kordell (in his only great year) - and warner - i don't think culpepper's gonna slow down much...i'd do that trade & spend a little extra money picking up good matchups for a few weeks 
- injuries this year are making that an option...shanny's probably found his boy - even though i don't trust him 
(shanny) - so there's on possible ww grab..if not, just see what you can string together b/c your qb points will BE THERE!!! 
...for what it's worth..
