Jeez man your vendetta is kind of ridiculous. The thread (which I started) was based off of a link to Peter King's monday morning qb article. The person who said the trade chart was irrelevant was a club official. Which sparked the conversation. For those interested it can be found here: http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/144884-throw-out-the-trade-value-chart/
The trade chart was made over 20 years ago! The fact that it needs to be updated or has been updated should not be surprising. In the original thread Icansleepwhenimdead posted an excellent link/article that talks about trade value. Is it possible that some teams prefer to look at it from that point of view rather than something Jimmy Johnson had one of his lackeys come up with?
I also will question (since you keep referring to it) who says this?
Understand, the trade/draft value chart doesn't exist to destroy your dopey "we could have, therefore, should have, traded up/down because I heard it on internet, therefore, Ralph is cheap/Buddy asleep/the team is moving to LA" threads. It does a fine job of that, but that is not it's primary purpose.
It certainly isn't me hasn't, been me, and I don't think it has been anyone else who was having the civil discussion about it in that thread.
Lastly, no one (including you) knows whether or not the trade for RG3 was a bad one yet. We know the trade for sanchez was a bad one because he's not a good player. QB remains the most important position in the game. If he turns out to be a stud it changes the discussion of how much was to much. Jay Cutler not that long ago went for 2 #1 picks if RG3 turns out better does it still make it a bad trade? Your discussion of needing to be 3x beeter than rodgers and manning made no sense to me so please explain that further until then... lay off the coffee man sheesh
