Title: Re: Alexander or Lewis?
Post by Callie on Sep 24^th, 2003, 6:37pm

If I'm getting the direction of the trade right, Lewis and Alexander are both great. I personally like Lewis better because I thing he'll get more chances. Seattle has a lot of targets and Hasselbeck likes to throw it out. But are you taking Holt and Boston and giving away Harrison and Toomer? Or am I screwing this up?

Sounds like the other guy is hurting for wide outs and is RB rich. You need RBs, and he's getting two for one on that one. Why not cross-offer and narrow the trade? A good WR for a good RB.

I'd take Ja Lewis over Alexander. (I have the luxury of having both in my money league) =)

The trade is a little uneven, for this reason, I would never think of trading Harrison unless I got another WR by the name of Moss or Owens in return.

Ja Lewis and Alexander is not a vast improvement OVER Stephen Davis, but Ja Lewis and Alexander are BIG game players, and can single handedly win games for you, as proved last season by Alexander, and a few weeks ago by Ja Lewis.

My honest opinion though, he's getting a slightly better deal out of it. I dunno, really the decision is up to you.

I agree with KJ76, I don't think you're getting enough in return. This guy is trying to capitalize on the fact that Harrison is off to a slow start. Have faith in your players, especially the ones with proven track records. Harrison will come around. Good luck. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

I wouldn't make this trade either. You've got two very solid receivers and a RB who is going to get a lot of carries this year. Boston is too risky and Holt is no better than Toomer.

As good as Alexander and Lewis are, I still think you're better off staying put with the players you have.

According to News Breakers, Boston might even be suspended for "misconduct."

I would not do this trade either. Boston was sent home by San Diego brass yesterday, and he may not play this Sunday.
