Ryan/Rodgers trade...would you try to do this? WHIR

Postby jmog » Mon Aug 24, 2009 1:15 pm

Ok, first here's my team after the draft, PPR format

Starters
QB-M. Ryan
RB-MJD
RB-Portis
WR-Calvin Johnson
WR-M. Colston
TE-Z. Miller
K-N. Kaeding
D-PIT

Bench
QB-T. Edwards
QB-M. Stafford
RB-D. McFadden
RB-M. Lynch
RB-L. Betts
WR-J. Cotchery
WR-D. Driver
WR-S. Smith (NYG)
WR-H. Nicks
TE-A. Fasano
K-K. Brown
D-JAX

So, I'm trying to go after A. Rodgers since the team that has him really has no WR after A. Johnson. I'm offering something like a Ryan and Driver (or Cotchery) for A. Rodgers and a crap WR to fill my bench (like a D. Hester).

I have 2 questions

Should I do this if he agrees?

Do you think he would take it?

it's a solid offer, though it may be a wash by year's end as far as the 2 QBs. But I definitely would rather Rodgers over Ryan, but both are good options.

i personally wouldn't do that trade. depends on how much the other guy likes ryan i guess. its worth a shot though however.

I don't think he takes this trade. It is worth a shot though. Rodgers clear upgrade over Ryan and Hester is same value as Cotch to me. I have hester a sleeper with Cutler in town. Hester has speed and runs some decent routes now.

Thanks for your help.

Not 100% sure he will go for it, but you never know until you try. It's not too lopsided though; and it would help your team.

Good luck!

You can give it a go, but I'd keep Driver over Crotchery if at all possible. You are going to see a lot from Rodgers this year and he'll spread it around between Jennings and Driver (some jones).

He might bite as you can ride Ryan's last year results before the Sophmore slump sets in.
