Desperate for QB help, need opinions WHIR

Postby Thor » Tue Nov 02, 2010 12:00 pm

Roster/Scoring in signature.

Despite having the worst QB situation in the league, I somehow have managed to be a half game out of first and lead total points by 21.

I should be in waaaay better shape than this if it wasn't for my QB's getting me single digit or barely double digits for almost half the season. I waited on drafting a QB until late and I like others thought Jay Cutler would be at least serviceable if not a top 5 QB with the Martz system.
(We all know how that has worked out :~( )

I have been trying to make a deal for a QB using J Best and no one has even taken a nibble.It is a little more difficult to make trades in our league because you must carry a set number of players at each position. So most trades end up equaling positions for positions.

Now I'm either looking at
A)making some insane multi-player trade which I don't really want to do,
B) over pay for a QB,
C)try to get a lesser "name" QB who has performed solidly

Here are a couple of possible deals

Owner 1
Calvin Johnson, Best and Cutler FOR Vick, D Jackson and Hightower
Best and Cutler FOR Eli and Hightower

Owner 2
Cutler and Bess FOR J Freeman and Crabtree

Owner 3
Cutler and Best FOR Fitzpatrick and B Wells
(I am hesitant in dealing with this team because they are almost tied with my and his only real weakness is RB2)

Owner 4
Cutler and Best FOR Sanchez and Felix Jones
or
Cutler and M Austin FOR Sanchez and Ochocinco

I think keep the trade simple. All of these are overly complicated besides the Fitz/Wells one which seems to be pretty solid. It's really hard to evaluate just knowing what person you're going after on their roster though too. My best advice would be to start by offering Bess for a QB along the lines of Fitz/Stafford/Bradford to a team that has an expendable backup QB situation.

First things first, pick up Blount (RB TB) if he's available as it appears that he is replacing Caddy as the starter there. If nothing else it will block the owner 3 from getting him and solving his RB2 problem.

Second, look to see if there is a decent QB on the WW.

Last, if you HAVE to make a trade, you ARE going to have to make it "complicate" seeng how you have to maintain an exact amount of players at each position (you will have to trade a QB and RB for a QB ad RB). Any of these trades you have proposed ar decent enough to go ahead and make the offers. You ar overpaying a bit but not too terribly much.
This aint a NYC auto garage, if it aint broke, dont fix it.

12 team redraft: Rivers (Q1), CJ (R1), McFadden (R2), B Wells (R3), Caddy (R4), Forsett (R5), AJ (W1), Fitz (W2), Royal (W3), Sims-Walker (W4), V Jax (W5), V Davis (T1), Kaeding (K1), Jets (D1)

on #1, I would have to drop Shonn Greene to pick up Blount, and the Caddy Owner has a better WW position than me anyway.

on #2, if there were better QBs on the WW I wouldn't have Matt Moore...LOL
12 team league with each team having to have 3 rostered QB, it doesn't leave much left.
The guy that had Romo dropped him for Kitna. I'm definitely trying to pick him up just for the hopes he comes back in 4 or 5 weeks. We don't have playoffs and play the full 17 weeks.
