Re: Would you make this trade?

I would trade Mike Wallace for Murray in a second. As a Steelers fan, I think Wallace is going to drop off in a big way this year. Last season Wallace benefited from Ben being able to do whatever he wanted and the OC allowing him to look off a wide open RB and TE and instead launch it deep to Wallac...

Re: Rank the players; PPR

I would take Ingram, Tate, Hillman and then Starks. Ingram gets a lot of hate around here, but the Saints said they were going to bring him along slowly and that's what they did. He has big play potential and he showed that numerous times. He's the Saints #1 guy, even if does have to share carries. ...

It's 2.8 in a 12 person PPR league.

It's for this upcoming season. We haven't had our draft yet.

Vick for Cutler and 2nd?

Was offered Cutler and a 2nd round pick for Vick. I actually really like Cutler seeing as how he has WR's again and a new OC. There's no denying Vick has those monster games sometimes and can single handedly win games, but I question his health and consistency. I wonder if what he did 2 years ago wa...

Blackmon vs Floyd - Talent only

If at all possible, try to ignore their situations. Watching both, I always thought Blackmon was a fair bit better than Floyd. It seems most of the experts agree with me, although Greg Cosell, who I normally agree with, considers Floyd quite a bit better than Blackmon. This was all pre-draft. So eve...

Who got burned by Torain last year?

Last year I had Torain on my team when he had that monster game. I had been telling anyone who would listen that Torain was going to eventually be the starter and was going to light it up. I didn't believe a word coming out of my mouth, I was simply looking to move Torain. After his huge game, I got...

Re: Julio for Jennings and what?

I really don't see why everyone is so high on Julio - the guy is super talented sure, but he's going to give you inconsistent production for the next 3-4 years while White is still there. He will have some huge games no doubt, but I see his situation similar to Dez and Miles, Cruz and Nicks, Jennin...

I've tried, people in my league don't give up RB's easily.

Julio for Jennings and what?

12 team, PPR. Start 1 QB, 2 RB's, 3 WR's, 1 TE, 1 flex. As you can tell, I need help at RB and am quite strong at WR. I have been offered Greg Jennings for Julio. It's not a straight up offer, he has told me to think of some things that I want him to throw in to make it fair. At this point, I don't ...

Re: Would you approve this trade as commissioner?

Yes, of course, but then again the commissioners don't have the power to veto trades in my league. It's not up to them to decide which trades are approved and which aren't.

Re: Gore+ for Mendenhall+

Definitely the Mendy side. Mendy is a very talented RB who has been stuck behind one of the worst OL's in the league, and has an OC and QB who didn't understand how to run the ball. Ben has said before that he doesn't know a lot about the running game, so how can he be expected to audible into an ap...

Re: Chris Rainey

As a Steeler fan, I wouldn't take him. Ben doesn't like to check down to his RB's, so unless there are many designed plays to throw to him, he won't get many targets. I don't know how many times I've seen Ben look at a wide open RB or TE, then throw deep to Wallace in double coverage. Ben is a very ...

Re: Demaryius Thomas Value

You can't use pre-injury numbers for Thomas. Perhaps, but Ike Taylor ran a 4.18 40 time and Thomas easily outran him. Now obviously Ike has slowed down over the years as he has aged and clearly he no longer runs a 4.18, but Thomas has shown that he still has incredibly speed for a big man. Anyway, ...
