Easy for me. You're essentially "dropping" from Brees to Luck, to pickup Dez...no brainer.

For this year only? Give me the Brees side all day. Pep isn't a run and gun offense. Give me the Saints Offense over the Colts for this year.

Badger -

That's where I'm at as well. Also, the main team I'm concerned about in the league doesn't have a QB and will need to get one in the free agent auction. By snatching up Brees I am relegating him to only being able to pick up Brady, Ryan, or Rivers (at best). Big step down from Brees (possibly 100+ pts over the course of the year) and I only lose the difference in production between Dez and his replacements (flexing between Julius Thomas, Bernard, and any rookie I pick up, which won't be 100 pts).

The main guy I am concerned about has hit home runs with his rookie drafting the past few years. He has Lacy, Gerhart, Jeffrey, Cobb, and Keenan Allen, plus about $150 to spend in the free agent auction.

I see zero difference between Julio and Dez - and if I was pushed I prefer Julio... So to me the only question is Luck or Brees and it's pretty clear cut to me - if you only care about this year then Brees, longterm obviously Luck.

looks to me as if julio is on both teams so the choice is between having Dez and Brees and if he takes Brees Bernard is his flex if im not mistaken

Oh, I missed that - I guess it's actually Brees or Luck and Dez??? I would prefer Luck and Dez. Maybe I'm confused.

Yes, it is a matter of having Brees or Dez (I would be trading Dez on a 1-year contract straight up for Brees an a 1-year contract). I keep Luck either way.

You keep Luck either way? Even locks down my choice further. Give me brees for THIS year

Any more opinions? Likely just about to make the trade.

If Dez is only on a 1 year contract and you retain Luck after this season then Brees is the no-brainer move.

OK, this looks pretty confusing, but I think it's pretty much Luck and Dez, or Brees and Julius Thomas. I go Luck and Dez.

Sorry all, could have been clearer. I start 6 players. When I said flex I meant bye week fill ins. It is a matter of Team 1 starting lineup: Luck, Martin, C Johnson, AJ Green, Julio, Dez or Team 2 starting lineup: Brees, Martin, Bernard, C Johnson, AJ Green, Julio. I would keep Luck either way, but he just wouldn't start for me this year.
