Should I trade Rodgers or Vick

Postby Cowboysguy2000 » Wed Dec 01, 2010 11:57 am

So early this year I picked up Vick after Kolb went down in week 1. A couple weeks later Vick was hurt so I made a trade to land Rodgers. Now I want to try to trade one for a top WR, but I'm not sure which one.

I think Vick has slightly more upside at this point, but I also think he's more of a risk due to injury concerns. My team is leading the league in total points and win-loss, so I don't feel like that slightly higher upside is worth the extra risk at this point. So right now I'm leaning towards trading Vick unless someone can persuade me otherwise.

I don't want to trade Vick to the other three teams that will probably be making the playoff, especially the team that has 4 top teir receivers because Vick would improve his team way too much.

realistically, here are my options...

TO
Hakeem Nicks (if it looks like he'll be healthy soon)
Mike Wallace
Jeremey Maclin
Miles Austin
Percy Harvin
Marques Colston
Mike Williams
Anquan Boldin

And here's my team as of today...

QB - Rodgers, Vick (start 1)
RB - Gore, Hillis, Charles, Michael Bush (Start 2)
WR - Jennings, Welker, Dez Bryant, Crabtree, Mike Sims-Walker, Derrick Mason, Mike Thomas (Start 3)
TE - Tony Gonzalez
K - Cundiff
DEF - Bears

I probably should have tried to pull off a trade like this a few weeks ago, but too late for that.

So any ideas on which WRs I should go for and which QB I should trade?

Thanks guys.

I'd trade Vick. Id prolly target Austin or Maclin.

Nicks is too risky at this point otherwise he wold be the clearcut pick. Maclin's schedule is very favorable with HOU and DAL twice (depending on how far your playoffs go).

If it were me, I would trade Vick for Maclin. Then Austin as the second option.

Help?

Thanks.

I was leaning towards Vick for Maclin, and your post helped me go through with it.

I offered the trade and it was accepted (the other guy needed a QB and is trying to get a playoff spot).

Now hopefully the trade will clear the veto proccess. I really do think it's a fair trade that helps both teams quite a bit, but I don't think the other teams will want my team nor the other guy's team to get any better. I know that's not what the veto process if for, but that's what a lot of people use it for anyways.

OK...You need a top tier RB to replace Gore before you give up a QB for a WR. I would offer your QB plus a 2nd tier WR for a RB/WR Combo going into the playoffs (you can still make trades this late?)!
