Melvinbet 5 Posted September 18, 2006 I was offered Larry Johnson for Tiki Barber. A couple weeks ago I would have jumped at this but now I'm not sure. With Green out, defenses are stacking the box on KC. He's a stud though, right? I just don't want to give up Tiki for hype. I always know I'm gonna get atleast the yardage with Tiki. He gets those "all purpose" yards. Please help!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skittles 0 Posted September 18, 2006 I'd do it in an instant. Sure, Tiki has (was?) piling up massive yardage, and will always get you some catches and plenty of yards. However, LJ will get the goal line carries, something Tiki WILL NOT get. It isn't like he might get them, he flat out wont. Don't worry about the Chiefs. They are a very good 0-2 and put on an incredible defensive display against the Broncos today. That game was a battle, and LJ still pulled out 120 yards on the ground. Take it, and run. http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...howtopic=234296 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Melvinbet 5 Posted September 18, 2006 Need some more input Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Texansfan 0 Posted September 18, 2006 Hell yes I'd do that. Tiki is going to wear down and Jacobs will continue to get carries. Green will be back soon and LJ is still putting up solid yardage without him! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J5 0 Posted September 18, 2006 Do it now. http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...howtopic=234485 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
just_want_2_win 0 Posted September 18, 2006 Although Tiki doesn't get TDs at the goal line, he does get breakaway long TDs both rushing and receiving. He also just gets more receptions, period. He has monster days and plays on a much better team and has a better line. Thus teams can't key on the run and he has running lanes. And though Jacobs steals TDs he keeps Tiki fresh and actually makes him less injury prone. LJs OL is suspect and there's no passing game to take the pressure off of him. Also, he's a bit of an upright runner and is vulnerable to injury because of that, like Stephen Jackson. http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...howtopic=234300 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ramblin'wreck 0 Posted September 18, 2006 I would do this trade. The Giants seem to want Jacobs to carry the ball more often than before. Plus Green willl be back. Thanks for answering mine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SFGeek 0 Posted September 18, 2006 You gotta do it. Jacobs is going to take GL's away from Barber and LJ is going to get better in a couple weeks when Green returns. Good Luck. see me please. http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...howtopic=234499 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lmjr 0 Posted September 18, 2006 Make the trade. Look at what LJ did in 2nd half of season last year. KC will get better offensively and LJ will get those goal line touches He's a fresh horse ride'em Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pound 0 Posted September 18, 2006 Definitely do this for the reasons others have stated (Jacobs vulching, etc) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
papagrande55 0 Posted September 18, 2006 Definitely do this for the reasons others have stated (Jacobs vulching, etc) I hope you are doing the trade and not reading my reply. http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...howtopic=234521 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrCCG 0 Posted September 18, 2006 Make the Trade!!! Herm wants to run LJ like never seen before... and when Green gets back the Chiefs are 100% better! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ruptured groin 0 Posted September 18, 2006 I am a Tiki owner, and I agree that unless you are in a PPR league and own Jacobs you should take the trade and not look back. Come to think of it, even if both of the above conditions are met, you're probably better off with LJ. let me know what you think: http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...howtopic=234488 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Connorsdad 38 Posted September 19, 2006 Yes i would do that trade. thanks for answering mine Goodluck!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Looseafir 3 Posted September 19, 2006 Yes i would do that trade. thanks for answering mine Goodluck!!! Dude if there was a re-draft, LJ would still go ahead of Tiki. DO IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrgymrat 0 Posted September 19, 2006 Everyone is right!!! LJ is the focal point of KC... Jacobs is only getting better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrBurns 3 Posted September 19, 2006 Just do it. LJ is a beast and will score TDs. With Jacobs vulturing GL carries it is a no-brainer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
saturate1 0 Posted September 19, 2006 LJ is a monster, he is the only offence on that team right now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gold_finger 0 Posted September 19, 2006 I'd take the deal. Larry Johnson might be better long term since Green will come back and the passing game will get going. Even until then, they'll still pound the ball with LJ. But Barber is a yardage monster but he doesn't score as many TDs a LJ so I would take the deal at this point.

Poloc2289 0 Posted September 19, 2006 i'd do this trade mainly because right now you'd be buying him low but later in the season his price will rise. i didnt buy into all his hype but i think this is a trade you cant ignore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pook187 0 Posted September 19, 2006 Get LJ, then pick up Jacobs if possible to hedge your bet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quincyxg 0 Posted September 19, 2006 Do it. Jacobs steals tiki's goaline carries. LJ will get ALL goaline carries. TD = 6 pts typically. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
