bobby heenan 60 Posted October 9, 2015 Too many stuck in the mud people looking at draft positions and simply hearing the name leveon bell The draft is over and we're a month into the season....if u want to keep harping on where guys were drafted go ahead Yes leveon bell is a dream....a godsend ....if u have a decent team around him....clearly this guy's team is struggling and certainly at a particular position which is wr..... Again....he has guys like hillman...forsett...and gurley in his backfield ....I doubt it but gurley could be right there with bell the rest of the way...or come close .....he has other guys that are decent plays at rb ....his wr options pre trade stunk flat out Ya trading bell never seems like a good idea....unless your team and year are sinking... If he lost the last two weeks what good did bell do? Now people are worried about how good the other guys team is after this trade? Lol....insane....ya he might have the most loaded team in the league.....bottom line is this guy needs to save his season and get into contention and let the chips fall You guys are too hung up on who bell is and where cooper and maclin were drafted to understand the situation ....and ya I still think he might have been able to get a little more or better.., but I still think this trsde makes his team all around better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bobby heenan 60 Posted October 9, 2015 He also gave up Rawls. Doh! Ok? And? Let's not analyze the Rawls part of this deal right now....since he was mostly getting killed for leveon bell If the guy is 2-6 with bell in another month what good would bell be to him? If he misses the playoffs what consolation does he have? Does he get a trophy and some money for owning leveon bell? Is their some kind of award for that?

Because it makes your argument look bad? Rawls is now a #1 back on a team that likes to run and play good defense. Lynch is old and carry worn. He gave up bell for a rookie WR and a Chief WR. There is no way to sugar coat the trade. Sorry. I'm starting Rawks this week. He would be too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If lynch is cleared to play does he overtake lynch or is he getting a handful of touches each week? Do u know exactly how long Rawls is a #1 back? If we're going by the way most of the people in this thread think.....Rawls is just a luxury picked off the waiver wire (since some seem so hong up on draft position) U still havent answered my question ....what good is bell if he has lost the last two weeks with bell? What good is bell if he doesn't make playoffs? Does he get an award for drafting him? What good is bell if he's starting brian quick and stevie j at wr?

You trade Bell for Julio and Maclin. That's what Bell is good for. Now he's going to lose without Bell too. With Bell he had a chance and at least a shot at a stud WR.

brotherbock 349 Posted October 10, 2015 You're making a huge assumption he loses WITH Bell. It's hilarious. I think we're assuming that he has been losing, even with Bell back.

bobby heenan 60 Posted October 10, 2015 You're making a huge assumption he loses WITH Bell. It's hilarious. I'm guessing by the trade he didn't exactly go 2-0 with bell in lineup last two weeks....I think we can agree on that...even if he went 1-1 last two with bell he'd be silly to make such a deal.....I'm sure anyone who drafts bell is aware what they have It's most likely bell hasn't helped him yet win a game yet and he thinks it will be tough to win with the team he had Ya maybe he hold onto bell and things turn sround....but he's stating quick and stevie j....that's enough to sink a team with bell and ___(insert virtually an other rb in league)...., even with bell that kind of team is going to struggle to score consistent points unless quick turns into Torry holt and Steve johnson turns into VJax from 5 years ago ...... This was a move that gives him more consistent points across he board ....he's got 3 decent rbs left to plug and play Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobby heenan 60 Posted October 10, 2015 The sample size is too small since Bell has only played 2 weeks this year. He's been good both weeks.Yep he has been good....and prob hasn't been enough because rest of team is weak....even with bell being good Ya the sample size is small but I think he sees the writing on the wall....and it's not like hes starting CJ Anderson and demarco murray at rb now I don't think he's losing because he's scoring and just facing unlucky matchups each week....I think he's losing and not scoring enough points to beat most teams in his league Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brotherbock 349 Posted October 10, 2015 Bell scored 22.4 points in my keeper league scoring week 4. Rawls scored 6.25 Quick scored 0.00 Stevie scored 3.6 Cooper scored 10.8 Maclin scored 15.9 Royal scored 12.2 Gurley scored 14.85 Forsett scored 14.9 Hillman scored 16.1 So...assuming he can start two RB and two WR (I think three is more common, but he only mentioned two), his prior lineup maxed out at 42.1 if he started Bell, Hillman, Quick, and Johnson. His new lineup would have maxed out at 59.1 if my math is right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 3,194 Posted October 10, 2015 If I drafted Bell number one and he looked awful I would look to trade him but I'm not going to draft him and hold him and then trade him after he has played Two good games Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bobby heenan 60 Posted October 10, 2015 I traded Leveon Bell after his first game back I got DeAndre Hopkins, Larry Fitzgerald and Frank Gore the OP got raped Situations and rosters are relevant ...also competitiveness and league stakes If someone traded u Hopkins, fitz and gore....I mean fitz was a 7th to later round pick ....Hopkins anywhere from a 3-4....that guy could have julio jones and Matt forte for all I know....guy could have james jones and allen hurns from off waivers ......so losing guys like fitz and gore don't mean a hell of alot when he can get bell.....it'd conceivable that guy that traded to u had julio, hopkins, maclin and fitz.....it's all relative to rosters and situations Alot of situations are different .....the op trading bell really helped his overall projected scoring .....something bell wasn't going to do in his own ...and his wr situation wasn't likely to get any better on its own Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kilroy69 1,251 Posted October 14, 2015 Prior to the trade my season high was 130. The first game post trade I scored a league season high 201 points. Fuckk all of those who doubted me. Maclin scored as many points as bell. Rawls outscored Cooper but was on his bench and would have been on mine too. Royal sat out but will be a bye week filler this week.

tanatastic 2,062 Posted October 15, 2015 Julio is going to miss games. You can't start him this week. He may play 5 snaps. He was awful last week against the Redskins. Fell on a fumble to save his day. With Freeman taing over that offense and Julio trnding down, meanwhile Bell is a top 2 RB in fantasy, id say its not that far fetched. Id like to get a good prospective wr along with him to replace Julio tho. If I can get Bell and Allen Robinson im doing that all day. Wrs are easily replaceable, not so for top shelf RBs.

jdon 28 Posted October 15, 2015 That is the worst trade I have ever heard anyone admit to. Cooper and Maclin???? No No No...and I am not even counting Royal cause he should be on the waiver in 95% of all leagues. Bell is worth Julio and Maclin in my opinion.

Keeper league; only Bell can be kept-the other 3 are at the end of their contracts. Would be a rental situation. RBs now are: Bell, Martin, Blount (flex) WRs now are: Cobb, J Matthews RBs after would be: Lynch, Martin, D Murray (flex) & WRs would be Julio and Cobb. Is the upgrade from Blount to Murray & Matthews to Julio worth the drop from Bell to Lynch (is Murray an upgrade?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kilroy69 1,251 Posted October 21, 2015 So far my trade has paid off huge dividends. I lost last week to the leagues high scorer and that was without a lot of my team due to byes.

I traded with a team that HAD wr to give and needed a RB. NO OTHER TEAM was like that in my league. The trade I made was the best option I had and it made my team significantly better. How can it be the worst trade ever if the trade has seen my team go from an avg score of 130 to one of over 170? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
