So I had Romo and Shaub on my roster. Don't really trust Shaub all that much. I was offered Rothlesburger for Ray Rice. I countered with Rothlesburger and Kenny Britt for Rice and Dez Bryant.

It makes sense to me in my head but my co-worker jumped all over it. Is there something I'm overlooking?

I would keep Shaub and Rice. I would prob look to get rid of Dez though.

His points this year have been:

29
9
15
3
20
BYE

Dude has been a roller coaster ride for me. Romo had consistency cause the Cowboys are always playing from behind. I started Schaub week 4 and he cost me a W. After that I said no more.

I'd rather deal him at this point to be honest with you.

id say rice's value is worth more than swapping big ben for schaub. schaub's next three games should allow him to score some points.

First, I ask who is his other QB? If he has another solid QB then you're just making his team that much stronger.

By the way. Ray Rice's name is his value right now. He has only had one big week against Denver.

And I'll ask what position are you in the league? If you are at the top of the league it seems you don't need this trade because Rice can only get better. If you are lower in the league it's time to make some trades because it's mid season.

His value comes with the RB pool not being strong and his possibility to break out. He's still averaging 4 yards a pop and has 24 catches. He will still face some porous run Ds and his playoff schedule is more than favorable.

If you look at all the RBs, you'll notice they all had that one big week then mediocre weeks the rest of the way. McFadden, Gore, McCoy, Forte, LT, Turner etc. Only a few have scored high consistently.

QBs are a dime a dozen this year. You want to roll with the RB and not make a lateral move by swapping Big Ben for Schaub at the expense of Rice.

Didn't you read the rest of the post? That what I said haha. But it depends if he is 2-5 or 5-2. You can't hang on to Rice hoping he gets you more points than the 5 points he is averaging per week other than his big week. I'm not saying you trade him for Ben but there are moves out there to make. And it all depends on where the record stands. If the record is on the upper half of the league there is no way I would trade Rice.

I have no problem trading him, but not at the expense of swapping Big Ben and Schaub.

Andre Johnson's a week healthier, Daniel's is a week healthier. Foster will keep beasting and open the passing game even more. I like Schaub down the stretch. And Rice to be honest. A bye week should benefit him nicely as well.
