I was offered this trade. Please tell me what you think!!

[bassett72]

A guy offered me my choice of Joe Flacco, Carson Palmer or Matt Cassel AND Brandon Jacobs for Eli Manning. Would you do it?
So again for clarity...
He gives me Brandon Jacobs and one of these three (Flacco, Palmer, or Cassel)
I give him Eli Manning.
As you will see in my roster, McNabb is my other QB. Knowing that, should I keep Manning around in case McNabb is hurt more this year. I know Jacobs has been a bust so far, but that can't last too long, or can it?

Please give me your thoughts. Thanks...
My team:
QB---Donovan McNabb, Eli Manning
RB---Steve Slaton, Clinton Portis, Knowshon Moreno
WR---Mike Sims-Walker, Larry Fitzgerald, DeSean Jackson, Benard Berrian, Derrick Mason
TE---Antonio Gates, Chris Cooley
K--- Josh Scobee
DEF---Indianapolis, New Orleans

We start, 1 QB, 3 WR, 2 RB, 1 TE, 1 K, and 1 DEF.

All 3 of those choices at QB i don't really like, If i had too choose i would take Flacco. I don't think its worth it though i think if i was going to put my qb position at that much risk i would want someone who has already proved themselves this year not Jacobs.

I think I would take Palmer and Jacobs for Manning.

[srlarson]

since they have had their bye.....I would pick up Kolb just in case....and then I would pull the trigger on this deal.....I would rank the Qb's....would give you some additional RB depth.

Palmer
Flacco
Cassel (don't want)

[GoBgRd]

I agree with srlarson. Palmer is the way to go and pick up Kolb if you are worried about McNabb. You have a couple of WRs that you could dump for the extra sports of the two for one trade and p/u of Kolb.

Little help?

Before I pull the trigger on this one, I would like some more input. Thanks to everyone that has responded so far.

So, should I grab Jacobs and Palmer or Jacobs and Flacco and give away Eli Manning?

I don't feel I have a lot of disposible receivers to toss away, maybe Berian. Yes, I know I could drop a defense, but I think it would be Indy.

Just looking for some more direction. Thanks...

Bumping this back up.

[ticklemeelmo]

I think Palmer is more of a gamble than Flacco. Flacco has performed really well this season and has put up pretty good fantasy numbers except for this week(which is when i needed him too, it was Rodgers bye).

[juddstjohn]

take Palmer in the deal- he's more proven and experienced. I really don't think Jacobs will become a stud again since Bradshaw is outperforming him and at the least his coach will split their carries to keep them both fresh for the postseason. However, if Bradshaw gets hurt? And since you're starting McNabb, you really give up nothing here since all those other QB's are of equal value.

Wow, to me that is a no brainer trade.

Both Palmer and Flacco are just a notch below Eli....I mean, just barely a notch.

And Jacobs is still a very valuable RB.

Easy call...go for it.

Check the team schedules during your fantasy playoffs, and get the QB out of Palmer and Flacco who has the best schedule compared to McNabb.

good luck
