Trade T-Rich + for Foster?

Postby Bignut » Sun Jul 08, 2012 8:22 pm

As a life long Browns fan and season ticket holder I really hope Weeden and T-Rich can make the Browns watchable on offense. I know everyone is going to think I’m crazy but I traded Foster for T-Rich, Ronnie Hillman and a 1st and 2nd round pick in the 2013 rookie draft. I love fantasy football but love the Browns more and if T-Rich is even close to as good as his hype, the trade is well worth it to me. The way I look at it is, fantasy football is supposed to be fun and if I have a chance to grab the Browns first possible elite player on offense since they’ve been back in the NFL I’m doing it! I would love to hear others thoughts on my trade. Did I just make a huge mistake? :think:

Yes. You said it yourself when you said, "if T-Rich is even close to as good as his hype." You know what you get with Foster and that is top 5 numbers every year. All you got in the deal was a bunch of ifs and maybes in that deal. That is a very bad trade trading away arguably the #1 back in the league.

Haha, good for you. Fantasy football is supposed to be fun.

You probably made a mistake but Foster could blow his ACL in Week 1 and T-Rich could go on to be the best rookie RB ever - you don't know, I don't know, Wallace's Warriors doesn't know - that's what makes this game so fun.

Well you lived up to your name cause you gotta have a couple of "Bignuts" to proceed with a deal like that. For all we know though T-Rich may outscore Foster this year, you never know. What I do know is that it's gonna make your Sundays pretty freakin fun every time T-Rich finds the end zone.

Thanks for the replies from everyone! Just joined the sight and this is my first post, love the information. I also learned something I didn't know, Squeelers fans can actually use computers, WOW! :wtf: So from now on I will make to include a note that Squeeler fans need not reply, because what you have to say is useless.

PS: Wallace will hold out and suck this year! :thumbup:

Nope. Can't get him either. The Tate owner is convinced that Foster pales in comparison to Tate. He is convinced that Tate is such a better talent that the Texans will just bench Arian. I sent him a link to Arian's contract. He won't be seeing the bench any more than he has the last two years. :neener:
