cribdog 0 Posted September 19, 2008 I just ripped off this guy in my league, what do you guys think? This sap traded me Rivers, Hasselback and up and coming DeSean Jackson for the fast-fading Bengals combo of Palmer and Ocho Cinco, and I also got to dump the starting QB from the worst team in the league Pennington! What a bozo...I love my league! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gepetto 1,368 Posted September 19, 2008 Here's one more thing to consider...Rivers will extend his lead over Palmer this weekend, meaning that nearly 20% into the season he'll have put up better #'s 100% of the time. And remember for evaluation of Mad Brad's trade, MB had P. Rivers and did not have Palmer for the first two weeks of this season, so evaluation of this specific trade will begin week 3.

urmother 0 Posted September 20, 2008 i just made a buy-low trade without a huge amount of risk imo. i gave delhomme and kevin smith for housh in a ppr league. kevin smith is a must start because it's a 3wr 2 rb 2wr/rb start league so he's got more value than in a league with a max of 2rb slots (and more in a ppr), but housh has so much upside still imo.

Guest BernardPollardFan Posted September 20, 2008 Palmer is certainly a stud talent.. and 85 has some good years left in him from a talent standpoint. It all comes down to team situations. I dunno his contract sitch & NFL trades for franchise QBs aren't likely. Assuming Marvin is toast.. How long until Palmer has a line and running game again? Rivers isn't as talented but he's on the team with the sick Oline and more weapons now. Carson's a stand up guy and River's is a collosal p*nis.. and I own neither in a keeper.. so i'm rooting for you Mad Brad. Colossal (don't use big words if you can't spell them) pen*s? Since when is there a rule that you can trash-talk at every other position but QB? When Chad Johnson does it, it's comedic. When Ray Lewis does it, he's trying to intimidate the opposing players. When Rivers does it, he's male genitalia? Everyone makes the scene out with him and Cutler out to be more than it was. Cutler was the one facing the Chargers bench and yelling obscenities. All Rivers says is "The ball is that way." So tell me, why does nobody talk about Cutler being a "colossal pen*s"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mad Brad 0 Posted September 23, 2008 So, Mad Brad, you say you haven't won a game yet this year? I find that hard to believe, such a fantasy wizard as yourself. I am 1 and 2 so far after 3 weeks... I dare say I look really good on "paper" but have had players who are under performing right now... Starting with Randy Moss... (Who I traded Jamal Lewis for pre-week 1 of the 2007 season) I think I did ok there... Also Braylon Edwards... ( I traded Rudi Johnson, Deshaun Foster, and Marc Bulger for Braylon Edwards, Edgerrin James and Darrell Jackson) I'd say I did ok on that one too... Also Andre Johnson... (I got him and McNabb for my 2nd, 3rd, and 4th round picks in 2007... I went 3rd then waited 3 rounds to go again But I survived it...) Also I traded for LT last october... ( I traded Wilie Parker, Larry Fitz, Calvin Johnson, and Javon Walker... I got LT, Brandon Marshall, Rudi, and Deshaun) I'd say I did ok there too... So now my 6 keepers for 2008-09 are at this point... C. Palmer, L. Tomlinson, R. Moss, Braylon, A. Johnson, and Brandon Marshall, with gould/akers as kickers and the Cowboys defense... Chad Johnson, Edgerrin James, Dallas Clark, Pittman and Ray Rice as bench fill ins, and guys like Ryan Torain as potential hit or miss flyers... I'll take that squad all day and I'll see where it takes me... and not a bad re-build in 18 months if you ask me... A fantasy wizard prolly not... But I have been doing this little Hobby since 1989... So I have a little experience at this endeavor... The league were talking about here is 11 years old, all internet based with 12 guys who don't know each other, but 8 owners are from the original group, I found them all at the huddle dot com... Pretty cool hobby we have, even though many "normal people" don't really understand the "rush" we get out of it... LOL MB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TK0001 99 Posted September 23, 2008 Just bustin' your balls, MB. I think that trade looks like garbage, but who knows how things pan out. At least you didn't trade LT2 in the redraft league for a drop happy WR and a 3rd tier RB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rozniarek 0 Posted September 23, 2008 What a fool.Jackson is huge so far.Hassellback gets Branch And Engram back along with K. Rob.Ocho is hurt Palmer has no pass protection. You put your team in the hands of the Bengals. Congradulations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BernardPollardFan Posted September 23, 2008 Ha what a laugh. How many of you responding own Philip Rivers? While I think DeSean looks like a solid player for a keeper league and that Chad Johnson is actually a step back thinking long term in a keeper... Palmer will turn it around and in the end be a better QB than Rivers. Not that Palmer will be great this year, but better than Rivers. This is a fact. Philip Rivers... are you guys kidding me? He sucks, always has and always will. Will be an average QB at the end of the year, or any other year, and will never have any significant impact on anyones rosters. I'm having a hard time believing most of the criticism is revolving around him in this thread. One or two good games, or bad games, a fantasy season does not make. lol how much did Rivers suck tonight, assclown? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The guys looking to next year are the losers in the league. I do agree, however, that your team is severly underachieving. Call me a liar then. Everybody knew going in that Cinncinati was gonna be bad. They dont have much of a run game, no defense, and 85 didnt wanna be there and has a bad shoulder. Hes not that good in the first place.

Mad Brad 0 Posted September 23, 2008 should have been to dull the painPennington? Actually I dropped Pennington, and went out and got Joe Flacco and Brady Quinn... I'll be just fine, as will the Bengal offense... Phillip Rivers is not going to toss 3 scores every week, and from a keeper perspective the trade made sense, despite how the first 3 weeks played out... Plain and simple... Put it this way... Fanball's "keeper league" cheat sheet, which ranks players at each position, gives some weight to age as well, and provides auction values for each player has it this way... qb rank: 5th C. Palmer $13 10th Rivers $5 and 11th Hasslebeck $5 23rd Quinn $1 27th Flacco $1 wr rank: 12th C. Johnson $13 60th DeSean Jackson $1 So according to their july/august values from fanball: I traded $11 in players and received $27 in return... Bad trade ??? Maybe, maybe not I'm banking it's not... And the first 3 weeks of a season do not a season make, but I've said that already... At the end of this year, or even the end of next year, I will have formed my opinion of the trade... Regardless of what all of you speculate of the deal, I made the deal, and would again... Down the road we'll see how it pans out... Many of you can say I got the bad end of the deal... The reality is that only time will tell, but I had the guts to roll the dice and see what happends !!! MB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smetana34 0 Posted September 23, 2008 Dipsh*t, If you couldnt handle the critisicm of everybody else, why would you put this up? The trade absolutly blows for you, you blew it. You've stated youd blow it again if given the chance. Congrats. In no way shape or form have you upgraded your team. You took a hit by going from Rivers to Palmer, Hasslebeck to Pennington, and at this point, DeShaun is better then Johnson. 85 will rarely start for you, and when he does, have fun with 4 catches for 37 yards. You made a dumb move. Say hello to 1-3 for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And then I traded Ocho Stinko and Ryan Torrian... Getting S.Slaton and A. Bryant ... I was the 5th seed in the playoffs, and made it to the SB, and despite M. Cassels's huge day on week 16... I lost the big game and won 75 instead of 175... Too bad... Luckily, I look to keep as my 6 guys... LT, Slaton, Andre Johnson, R. Moss, B. Marshall, B. Edwards, with C. Palmer or M.

I think back to how many times after a draft you feel like you have all the bases covered, and then by years end you have made 5-10 waiver moves or more sometimes... It happens every year in one of my 6 leagues... Although 4 of them are dynasty leagues now, as I only do one total re-draft a year now a days...LOL I really got lucky on Cassel, someone else picked him up, then after a bad week dropped him, I figured I might need him and acted quickly grabbing him, thinking he just had an "off week" that week, and I knew he'd be the guy iat QB in NE all year good or bad, in the end he was good...
