That trade makes zero sense for me. I'd rather have Russell Wilson and Larry Fitz than Matt Ryan and no Larry Fitz.

Really?

I've always felt Ryan >>>> Wilson
Mainly because Seattle is a run oriented team and Wilson won't throw for 4000 yards, 30+ TD like Ryan will and his 200-300 yards rushing and 3/4 rushing TD won't make up the difference in the passing game.

Ryan may be better but the difference isn't Larry Fitz. I'd rather stay where I'm at than lose a potential top wr and get a slight upgrade at QB.

I don't think lack of active people is really the problem here Tduecen, you just need to send people fairer trades if you want action.

Bush also missed a week or those numbers wouldn't as close. Personally you would win that trade easily.

Not like you are trade raping or anything, but you win that trade going away.

Mine too in my other league. I somehow managed to face Charles and the Chiefs defense in both leagues I'm in as well. Rough day for matchups, particularly when both my teams are doing well.

Difference would really by Bush....
Question would be does he want stability of Gore or does he trust Bush to stay healthy..... Everyone talks about Gore being injury prone but he has missed 10 games over 9 years in the league and only once has he played in less than 14.


Garcon/Boldin depends on if you go for potential or someone who is steady....


Ryan >>> Wilson as I already outlined

In our league setup Bush will destroy Gore barring some major duty injury. People like to talk about Bush being injury prone too, but he hasn't really missed all that many games either. Dude has missed 2 games over the past 3 seasons including this one.

Ryan will be better than Wilson, but not really enough better to make up for Bush>Gore.

And I like Garcon better than Boldin, though that is close like you said. I think Garcon has more potential and is more steady, Boldin has been very hit or miss this season.

And stop the presses, MJD scored a touchdown.

Trade is fair, but not close to rape or one side having a HUGE advantage....

I may offer a few lopsided trades but I always send a "Let's Talk" message with it indicating I am interested and willing to talk any kind of deal

I'm mostly going by the lopsided trades you've offered me for the most part (plus a posted comment on these boards saying you always throw out lopsided trades because you never know when you'll find a sucker ). It doesn't bother me at all mind you, but I'm just saying you can't complain about lack of action in the league if all you are doing is offering trades that only really help you.

Lack of action = trades sitting on my team page for 2+ weeks.... that indicates lack of activity of owners

Ahhh, now that is a different story altogether. No excuse for that really. That kind of stuff annoys the crap out of me as well, just say no if you don't like it and get it over with.

Or just check your team weekly, with (and I'm assuming) everyone having smart phones everyone should have an app to check teams/trades and be able to do it while taking a shite

If someone doesn't accept your trade or send a message, I'd withdraw it before a game is played. Don't want to risk an injury of a player involved and someone accepting the trade.

It's kind of a dick thing, but it's why I sometimes leave trades. I prefer negotiating via email or whatever anyway

Yeah, when people just leave a trade up I assume this is what they are doing (unless they aren't changing their lineups at all anyway), just waiting to see if someone gets injured. I always cancel the trades at game time.
