Title: Question for help
Post by jabenus on Sep 21^st, 2005, 8:04pm

my current team is:

Donovan McNabb
M. Brunell

Terrell Owens
Laverneus Coles
Anquan Boldin
Donte Stallworth

Rudi Johnson
Stephen Davis
Brandon Jacobs
Ron Dayne

Antonio Gates
J. Kasay

New England Defense
Jacksonville Defense

THE QUESTION IS SHOULD I TRADE

STEPHEN DAVIS
for
LARRY JOHNSON AND BRANDON STOKELY

OR

STEPHEN DAVIS
for
LARRY JOHNSON & REGGIE WAYNE

or should I just leave either offer alone.

HELP GURUS. I need some help

I would hold off on the first deal. BUT, I would do the latter deal in a heartbeat. That way at least you know you will get one really solid commodity back, Reggie Wayne, just in case something actually comes of the Larry Johnson "battery" situation, which, by the way, I think will blow over. And, by the way, Davis will probably be in for a long week this week in Miami, so it is a good time to move him. Good luck! [smiley=shamrock.gif]

Adding New England into the deal doesn't change my stance, especially since you have Jacksonville too. I say do it.

Wait. How many WRs and RBs do you start?

If you start 3 WRs and 2 RBs, right now before a trade you have Owens, Coles and Boldin as your starters at WR - and you have Johnson and Davis as starters at RB. After that???

For that matter, do you get points for receptions?

Other than that, I'd like to see some reasons for this trade.

i don't see getting johnson for davis as an upgrade at this point in the season. i like reggie wayne but your current 3 starting receivers are the pretty solid. it appears you are getting a fair deal, but i am not sure you will see a major impact.

I wouldn't do either trade. Larry Johnson is a risk because unless Priest gets hurt he's still not the starter and you can't expect him to keep performing like he has with the limited amount of touches that he gets. Stephen Davis is in a similar situation but on the other end of the boat in that he is the starter now and he should get 20+ touches per game. I don't think you'd be making enough of an upgrade, if any, in your starting receivers to sacrifice a legit starter and have to start a backup. Owens and Boldin is a very good combo if ya ask me, just gotta give boldin a lil time

Don't do it. Johnson is incredibly talented but that means nothing without the opportunity to use that talent. Sure, he is getting some touches, but not enough to trade away a featured back. Meanwhile, Davis is the main guy right now.

Also, you do not need Reggie Wayne. Your receivers are very solid. Stallworth is streaky, but the others are pretty strong. Needless to say, Owens, albeirt a steaming d-bag, is a huge asset.
