Im trying to get LT in my league......... This guy wants to trade Marc Bulger and LT for my Reggie Wayne, Brian WEstbrook and Jason Witten!! he must be smoking crack!!! this is his team: Favre, Brett QB NYJ Tomlinson, LaDainian RB SD Warner, Kurt QB ARI Fitzgerald, Larry WR ARI White, LenDale RB TEN Holmes, Santonio WR PIT Bulger, Marc QB STL Miller, Heath TE PIT Bruce, Isaac WR SF Brown, Reggie WR PHI McMichael, Randy TE STL Green, Ahman RB HOU Heres mine: Westbrook, Brian RB PHI McNabb, Donovan QB PHI Wayne, Reggie WR IND Campbell, Jason QB WAS Witten, Jason TE DAL Curtis, Kevin WR PHI Fargas, Justin RB OAK Brown, Ronnie RB MIA Driver, Donald WR GB Jones, Julius RB SEA Jackson, Vincent WR SD I really want LT, but am I better off just tellin this guy to go to hell and keep my team as is? or should I please my homerism and get LT from this douche... I really think LT is gonna explode this season......what would you FF gurus recommend my newbie ass to do?
I think Bulger is useless it is an insult that he even offered him as opposed to McMichael. He does not even offer to give up a lesser TE to compensate you for giving up your supperior one. You have a good team as is, nix the deal.
Agreed. You should sit pat. Now you know what he covets on your roster. Keep that in your back pocket for future reference.
I've never had LT on my fantasy team. It just hasn't happened for whatever reason. Anyway if you want to win, turn the trade down. If you really want LT then I guess you are planning on getting there the hard way. Westbrook practically beat me by himself twice last season! MOFO! You certainly don't need 3 QB's!?!? Not to mention you would need to pick up a TE. I'd counter offer for LT and Fitzgerald for the trio. I think that would certainly be acceptable and I'd take it in a heartbeat to get LT for the first time.
As Charger fans, all of us WANT LT, but you can't let your personal feelings allow you to do stupid trades. No offense KillerGX, but you're actually sitting very well off with McNabb, Curtis, and Westbrook. Think about it... McNabb is a 225-250 yard QB pretty much every week when he is healthy. Of those yards, Curtis is probably going to get at least 70 or 80, plus another 50-70 for Westbrook. Add that all up and you're looking at about 400 yards of passing offense from just those three, plus 75-100 yards on the ground for Westbrook. There's probably gonna be 3 or 4 TD's per week between the three of them too. In most scoring leagues, that's a 35-40 point week from the three of them. Trade away Westbrook, and now you're looking at 325 yards of offense from McNabb and Curtis, and 2 or 3 TD's. With LT, can he make up 175 yards and 2 TD's per week to make up what you would lose fmor taking Westbrook out of that equation? I love the guy, but I doubt he will do that well every week. Even when you add Wayne and Witten into the equation, that's another 15-20 points per week from those two that you would (essentially) be giving up for a backup QB. Don't do the trade. Stick with what you have and you'll do just fine.
I may be the only one that doesnt blame the guy a bit for asking for the moon for LT, especially once I find out you want him AND you are a Chargers fan. Any time someone wants the best player in the league the guy with him should start off by asking for way too much. Believe me, the last thing you want to do in fantasy football though is play with your heart and be a homer. If you dont want to win and just want to enjoy watching your players then its fine, but I equate it to going to the track just to watch the horseys run and not betting. As far as that trade goes you are right to reject it. It is too much to give up and your team already has a #1 RB. Never get mad at someone for offering though. The worst thing in fantasy sports isnt a bad offer, its getting no offers or responses to your offers. Forget LT (for your teams purposes) and concentrate on a position that you may need help down the line. You are set at RB1 so try to deal some of your depth (bench, WR3 and RB2) to upgrade that RB2 spot. Fargas might help you for a few weeks and either him or Jones could always have a career year and Brown may get healthy, but if you are looking to make a deal thats the place where your biggest question mark is. Good luck Manny. I think you are a FF junkie in the making already!
