Re: You Can Trade Away RoJo Now... Last Chance?

RB values mostly don't appreciate over time, so I don't quite understand the take.

The part where I missed is that I suggested he was worth selling back in August of 2019 because I thought he would never rise in value ever again. Many people did sell, some got 2nd rounds, and the value of those 2nd rounders in the 2020 draft made it worth the sell. He's probably worth a first now to the right person, and therefore I was wrong since his value went up, which is why my take was wrong.
Update- made that pick within a week of when this thread was started, at the last chance to sell. Sold for a 2021 1st.OhCruelestRanter wrote: ↑Sun Jan 26, 2020 9:01 pmI bought my first and only share of him at 140 in a superflex startup last year, and I still can’t get anything for him now.
RB2s have value.
This thread doesn’t have anything to do with a prospect evaluation, though. The premise was that your last chance to sell Ronald Jones was August 2019. That’s pretty demonstrably incorrect.
i think we're giving semantics a bit too much importance though: if threads like this were titled "rojo is probably at peak value right now" the forum would be a lot more boring.OhCruelestRanter wrote: ↑Thu Oct 15, 2020 12:07 pm This thread doesn’t have anything to do with a prospect evaluation, though.

I am encouraged to post bold statements to keep things interesting. I don't have to but I understand that if I do threads will stay lively and users will return. I understand that some people will pounce on the chance to wag their finger and say whatever, but that comes with the territory. These are also the same people who don't make bold claims of their own. It's more fun to poke the inaccuracies of others than it is to put yourself out there. Totally get it.killer_of_giants wrote: ↑Fri Oct 16, 2020 7:32 ami think we're giving semantics a bit too much importance though: if threads like this were titled "rojo is probably at peak value right now" the forum would be a lot more boring.OhCruelestRanter wrote: ↑Thu Oct 15, 2020 12:07 pm This thread doesn’t have anything to do with a prospect evaluation, though.

i just square-root every bold statement and assume it's a bit of theatrics for the fun.
I do not disagree with your take that waiting on a 1st round RB is not worth your time. But to get a quality RB, you need to spend a 1st round pick, or get lucky with a 2nd round pick.dlf_mikeh wrote: ↑Sat Oct 10, 2020 5:00 pmThe part where I missed is that I suggested he was worth selling back in August of 2019 because I thought he would never rise in value ever again.

However, I don't want to spend a 1st round pick on a RB that takes 3 years to be worth the value that I put into it. I think to use a 1st rounder on a RB that you have to wait on isn't worth your time. He's holding a bench spot hostage that entire time. Unless you're in a rebuild, I suggest that RoJo was a terrible investment overall.
I’m sorry, telling people to get rid of RoJo in August of 2019 was “bold?” What? And my lord, the sanctimony here. “I don’t have to, but I tell people to sell low on Ronald Jones so that DLF shall prosper,” is one of the least self-aware things I’ve read here. Wow.
My man, what “territory” are you talking about? You don’t have any territory. We’re talking about a dynasty fantasy football website. This is big time Dwight Shrute Assistant to the Regional Manager energy.
Oh man, somebody is clearly wounded. Sorry.
Yikes. The lengths you’ll go to in order to avoid admitting you were incorrect about something are always a little startling, even after seeing it over an over. This isn’t as bad as “I was just trying to trick somebody into trading for Kalen Ballage, that one doesn’t count!” but it’s getting close. If you say “this is your last chance to sell” and then the player’s value goes up, you were wrong. I don’t know how to make it more simple than that. Like sure, you could have traded him for a 2020 5th and then picked James Robinson, but that doesn’t make the advice to sell low any better.dlf_mikeh wrote: ↑Fri Oct 16, 2020 10:28 am I still disagree that I was entirely wrong btw. Selling RoJo last year for a 2020 2nd could have netted you one of these quality WRs you're seeing on the field today, which were plentiful in the 2nd round. Your value would have increased more than a 2021 1st value. Not owning RoJo also makes 1 more spot on your roster for a waiver wire claim, or 2-1 trades, etc. It's not just the sole value, but all the variables that go with it.
He's worth more now and that's great. That means it wasn't the last chance to sell, but that doesn't mean selling last year was a bad idea either.
Yeah. Entirely possible that Fournette never really gets healthy/is a bad fit and Jones just runs away with it.
I was wrong. It does count.OhCruelestRanter wrote: ↑Fri Oct 16, 2020 11:07 amMikeH coming in to say “well actually this time I was wrong doesn’t count and here’s why”
