Hill wasn't good. Lotta problems last year. Still got fed, especially down the stretch when they were going for the AFC

Lewis will give him that 230 carries though. And all signs point to hill being 100

I think hill has a better crack at 1200 and 10 than 88. Just don't have the slightest clue about semian

Meh. Cincy has Gio who is arguably the better back. Martin had a nice year, granted, but Sims wasn't a trusted backup then. I see Martins #'s to dip bc Sims has a year under his belt and has earned some trust. Gio is guaranteed equal touches. He's a more versatile player. If Hill struggles early on, it'll be Gio seeing more PT than Hill.


I don't think so man. Cincy wants to run the ball and they want to run it with power. Gio is not the better back, he's just not. Perhaps more athletic, dynamic and has better hands, but he's not the better back. Hill will get at least 15+ touches a game even if he struggles.

Someone offered me Jeremy Hill and Landry for Demaryius Thomas or Marshall.
Do it??



Absolutely. Have you not looked at the QB depth chart in Denver? He's going from having a hall of famer who always stats up his WRs to a guy with no experience and Mark Sanchez.

Manning was garbage last year. He couldn't throw the ball down field at all. Manning started 9 reg season games, Thomas had 1 TD. In the 7 games Osweiler started he had 5 TDs. Thomas will be better this year than last IMO.

Yeah, saying that he went from a hall of famer to mark Sanchez is incredibly misleading. He's going from an over the hill quarterback whose body was falling apart and was statistically one of the worst quarterbacks in the league. Even if quarterback play is still bad, I don't expect this year to be much worse than last year for thomas which wasn't terrible all put together when you take away expectations and where he was drafted last year. Thomas is really good value where he has been going in drafts because people were burned last year with first round expectations.

That said, I still take the trade because OP is getting a pretty overwhelming amount of value back.

Boom, you think Thomas cracks double digit TDs?

And Thomas had (1) 100 yard game in those 7 games (really, 8)

Are you expecting better numbers than last year with this Siemian cat under center, and a supposed shift towards the ground game?

o/u 105 catches
o/u 1304 yards
o/u 6 TDs

Double digit TDs is unlikely. I could see 8-9 though. Definitely more yards too bc you gotta think a few more of those dep balls will connect.

I could see something like 95/1400/8
