Art Vandelay 0 Posted October 12, 2006 Maybe this is a stupid question. I've been offered Shaun Alexander and Hines Ward for Gore and Reggie Brown. My instinct is "pull the trigger, stupid," but I'm iffy on Alexander's recovery time from the injury. Plus, both Gore and Brown have proven themselves reliable contributors, while Ward sucks. What do you all think? How soon will Alexander be back 100%? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dante 0 Posted October 12, 2006 The Hawks will go deep into the playoffs riding the back of SA. I would make this trade in a second. He is a TD maker while Gore may be losing his goal line opportunities to Robinson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wanska13 0 Posted October 12, 2006 It depends on what the rest of your team is like and what your needs are - but based on just the players in question, I don't think I'd do it. I'm worried on how Alexander will be when he gets back - those foot injuries are killers, especially for RBs. Thanks for answering mine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darb33 0 Posted October 12, 2006 This is a tough one for me. I love Alexander down the stretch and I love Brown as well with the hamstring problem for Stallworth. That said, I say go for it. Alexander should bounce back starting next week healthy. And as far as Gore goes you never know if he will lose some goal line carries because of those fumbles. I say get Alexander while you still can for this low of a price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hadji 0 Posted October 12, 2006 I wouldn't do it. I make it a rule not to trade for guys that aren't playing because you never know how long they'll be out and you don't know how effective they'll be when they get back. Plus, Gore is leading the league in rushing (tied w/ Jackson) and playing great. I think the fumblitis is behind him. Ward is doing absolutely nothing and Brown is playing very well right now. McNabb will be throwing like crazy all year and Brown will be a direct beneficiary. help me out: http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...howtopic=243145 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seh2000 5 Posted October 12, 2006 If you can ge the reigning MVP - do it. He wanted to play against the bears, it can't be that bad. Ward will come around as Big Ben does too... Thanks for mine: seh2000 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryedog 0 Posted October 12, 2006 I would make the trade. Having Alexander down the strecth could be huge! If you can hold out 1 or 2 more weeks he should be back to full strength. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MattJonesRepresent 0 Posted October 12, 2006 Yep, make the trade...there's too many weapons on the Eagles team for R.Brown to be consistent throughout the year (IMO)...pull the trigger! Thanks for mine! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
