Phlegm Alley Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 I offered him Gore and Donald Driver for TO and Cedric Benson. I also offered him Gore and Roy Williams for TO straight up. I have crazy depth at RB with LT, Ronnie Brown, Chester Taylor and Fred Taylor. My WR are Holt, Roy Williams, Driver, Lee Evans, and E. Kennison. Would you guys do this? I really want to shore up my WR position with top talent and I think now is the time to sell Gore HIGH because his value isn't going to get any higher.

drnykterstein Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 now is the time to sell Gore HIGH because his value isn't going to get any higher. 772099[/snapback] True, true. Uhmm Fred Taylor will let you down. Chester Taylor is going to be streaky. You might want to just get a better RB for gore. Your WR's are fine also.

JimBob2232 Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Yeah, i wouldnt call that crazy depth by any means. Keep gore in any of those deals. TO is scary. a) he is somewhat hurt b) Rumors have bledsoe ridign the pine soon. c) Tuna is bound to get fed up with him. Its just a disaster IMO.

Buftex Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 I wouldn't give up too much for TO...you already know why.... Are there any other recievers you can trade for in your leauge? See who has Larry Fitzgerald, and see if you can come up with a deal for him, if you are that bent on upgrading your receivers. Having LT, I agree, you could trade someone. However, after LT, I think Gore is your best RB. And, your receivers are not that bad... In my leauge, we get points for TD's (6 pts), and yards (1 pt for every 10yrds, a 5 pt bonus for breaking 100 yard mark with a reciever or RB), and personally, I think WR's are the most unreliable of all of the positions to get points from, so I wouldn't chase after one too much....I would rather take my chances with a strong core of RB's, and second tier WR's, than the other way around. Still, like you, I have a good group of RB's: Willis McGahee, Reggie Bush, Laurence Maroney, Tatum Bell, Samkon Gado, Dominc Rhodes & Cedric Benson I have so-so WR's: Anquan Boldin, Lee Evans, Reggie Brown, Ernest Wilford, Kevin Curtis I will look for a trade, or a breakout player as the season unfolds....

You know Drew is his QB, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BILLS4LIFE Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 IMO,your WRs look fine and giving up Gore,your depth at RB would be hurting. Plus,TO isnt worth it. He wont last the year mentally OR physically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have another WR whose a threat to score TD's regularly. I get tired of the "you have to have two great rb's" all the time. There's only so many, and you're lucky to have one. It comes down to how different will your other rb's will be from gore vs the diff of To and one of your other wr's. TO could be a top receiver and you will not be able to say that about any of your secondary rb's. You are looking for more of a leg up anywhere on your roster, wr's included. You've got to believe TO will give you a bigger point differential over Driver/Williams than gore over brown/taylor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BILLS4LIFE Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Heres hoping you didnt do the trade with Gore having a good game and TO now out for 2-4 weeks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I am telling you, as long as he stays healthy, Gore is the real deal, the kind of running back that will have a great season, despite a crappy line, not a bad year because of a crappy line...don't trade him...with LT and Gore you should have a great chance of winning your leauge...

Phlegm Alley Posted September 19, 2006 Author Share Posted September 19, 2006 Thank God I didn't pull the trigger. I am sitting on Gore for now-starting him next week actually becuase LT has a bye. Thanks for the imput. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
