Better end of the trade

SlabHurta · 10-26-2006, 10:33 PM

Who do think got the better end of this trade?
I offered a guy in my league Tomlinson, Chester Taylor, Delhomme, and Chambers for Barber, Westbrook, Brees, and Holt. I would think I got the better end of that trade. What do you guys think?

you got the better end

That Guy · 10-27-2006, 05:48 AM

1 stud for 3 studs. you win.

Awww, that dude got ripped off

Daseal · 10-27-2006, 12:03 PM

Taylor has been a stud this year.

Anyhow, you got the better end. Depends on how deep that guy was at WR, mighta been better for both of you. Just remember, Tiki doesn't score TDs.

First question, why the effity-eff would someone trade 2 RBs, 1 QB, and 1 WR for 2 RBs, 1 QB, and 1 WR???

Obviously you would want to do it, because this dude decided to just hand you a title. But what the eff was he thinking???

I'm gonna be honest, I hate that deal for you. I never trade LT, especially not when it's Taylor and LT for Tiki and Westbrook. The Chambers for Holt is a huge upgrade, but not big enough to give up LT. And Delhomme is probably less consistent than Brees, but Delhomme and Smith are lethal, so I wouldn't have done it.

That Guy · 10-27-2006, 12:31 PM

basically no matter how hard you argue the merits, you basically got holt for free.

in the leagues i've been in, i believe westbrook is leading LT in points... so i wouldn't be that concerned.

Really?! That's surprising, but I guess the receiving yards are big. I just always worry about Westbrook getting injured, being inconsistent, and Reid not running the damn ball.

Yep, Tomlinson and Westbrook are the top 2 non-QB performers in just about any league.

It's about total yards from scrimmage.

definitely. westbrook has issues (he's always questionable), but right now he's unstoppable. that's the only thing I'd be worried about: westy and holt have been going-off so far -- it's hard to expect them to keep it up all season.

The only way that this trade can be considered close is that Westbrook isn't durable and also he still has a BYE week coming up.

I think you got the better end of the deal assuming production from all players involved stays relatively constant.

FRPLG · 10-27-2006, 02:19 PM

You stole from him seriously. Player for player you won easily 3 times and only the LT/Westbrook trade merits discussion.

Barber > Taylor...easily
Holt > Chambers...easily
Brees > Delhomme...this is closer but still Brees has been clearly better
LT > Westbrook...pretty debatable. Either guy is a stud. Basically a wash.

I can't believe the deal got ok'd through your league.

Westbrook is the perfect example of being used correctly in the system. For ANY other team (with the Falcons being the exception), he wouldn't do CRAP. It's McNabb's mobility that allows Westbrook so much room to run.
