Why would you say that Benjamin is bad as a Newton owner?

Re: Watkins 2.01 in a startup

I don't have a problem with the pick. Personally, I would have taken Allen, Bernard, and Cobb over him, but you have to consider that it the last pick that the owner had prior to #36. If he truly believes that Watkins was the best player on the board, he needed to grab him there (or try to trade dow...

Re: Rishard Matthews

He's available in a couple of my leagues and I'm putting a pretty hefty bid in for him. In fairness however, I haven't spent a lot of my WW funds in those leagues, so I can afford to throw 30% at him and still have a lot of funds available.

Re: Kenjon Barner

Panthers homer here - The word out of camp is that he is impressing everyone on the team and quickly earning a role on the offense. While his performance in yesterday's game was shaky (he had one fumble and another that could have been credited to him), he also showed a lot of quickness and did a gr...

Re: Help finding completed auction leagues

Here is one that was completed a few weeks ago. There was a $1,000 budget.

It's a salary cap league, but the auction portion shouldn't be too different.

Re: Why all the Ball hate?

At this time last year, everyone was all over Hillman, proclaiming him as the obvious starter over a washed up McGahee. All of the arguments that are being made for Ball right now were made to me last year with the same kind of fervor. I'm not saying it's impossible for Ball, I'm just saying that hi...

Re: Why all the Ball hate?

The real reason? It's hype backlash. He is being hyped up as the probable rookie of the year and being assumed as destined to take over the #1 spot in Denver. People that don't believe that are making their opinion known. Personally, I don't buy him being the top option in Denver this year. I know ...

Re: Vernon Davis to have Gronk-like season?

This situation seems like one to take advantage of to me. Everything is lined up for Davis to finally be used properly, but owners are frustrated after years of being disappointed by his production. I'm guilty of that myself. I honestly can't see a situation where he doesn't get heavily involved in ...

Re: I'd like to report a trade rape

I don't think it's a bad deal given the league type. In that league, Pettigrew has tremendous value with the double receiving yardarge. A solid 60 catch, 600 yard equates to 60/1200 for a WR, which would be a great season for a receiver. The two quarterbacks are both solid, but unspectacular, but th...

Re: Cam Newton going forward

I've been in a number of twitter battles over this very issue over the past week. While the Panthers may claim that they are running a more traditional offense, they aren't simply going to take the ball out of Cam's hands. Even if they have less designed runs (which I honestly doubt), he will still ...

Re: Spiller for McFadden & ivory

It's seems like you are lower on Spiller than most. That's ok, but take advantage of the hype and get more for him.

Personally, he's my number one RB, so it would take a fantastic offer to get him from me.

Re: Is Denard Robinson droppable?

Powell seems like the easy drop to me, even if you have Ivory. I'm not really sure why you would have a big reason to keep a mediocre handcuff for your fourth RB. The smart decision would be to not make the deal though. Broyles is a nice player, but he's much more valuable than what you're selling h...

Re: Calvin+Blackmon vs AJ Green+Harvin *Poll*

Calvin Johnson is my #1 overall player. AJ Green is 2nd.

Percy Harvin is #11. Blackmon is 28th.

So for me, this is pretty much the equivalent of giving up one draft spot in a start-up to move up 17 a round later. This is a HUGE win.
