Ryan Matthews or Matthew Stafford

Postby BALCO All-Stars » Thu Jul 05, 2012 11:14 am

12 team, 3 keepers perennially plus 1 rookie for one year only...

If Peterson wasn't hurt I wouldn't think of offering this, but he is a question mark this year, and is already 27, so I assume he only has a couple of good years left in him, and Stafford finally put it together last year and is only 24, and in this age you need a stud QB to compete...thoughts on trading Peterson for Stafford?

Current Keepers: Peterson, Ryan Matthews, Calvin Johnson, Roy Helu (R)
Other possibles: Hakeem Nicks, Rashard Mendenhall, Witten, Ponder (R)

QB/RB/RB/WR/WR/WR/TE/K/DEF/9 BN
25 pass yds = 10 rush yds = 10 receiving yds = 1 pt.
PPR = .5
All TD = 6

In the long term, I think AP is going to be the man for a while to come. I think he'll play a bit longer than most RBs because I have an immense level of respect for his talent. However, I think for your team that's a pretty fair trade, and I think Stafford is going to be amazing this season.

i would much rather have Stafford. You would have the #1 WR and a top 5 QB on the same team locked in for 5+ years

I would go with Stafford, AP has too many question marks.

Stafford. AP is only going to be a top back for 3-4 years. Stafford has much longer than that. Also after AP has a down year this year, his value will be lower and you could potentially get him back for cheaper if you want to.

Help me?

Make the deal for Stafford. Enjoy Stafford for the next decade and let AP break down on someone else's roster.

i agree with the Stafford choice. He's going to be around a while and probably already a top 5 QB, but i hate to mess around with aging RBs. I'll probably avoid AP in my drafts unless he falls really far.

He has countered now asking for Ryan Matthews instead. Since this is a .5 PPR league (and count be a full point), I am hesitant to do this trade with all of the hype surrounding Matthews this year with Tolbert gone, but Matthews has dealt with injuries just like Stafford has. However, my two RB keepers would be Peterson and Helu, so I feel I would have to go RB right away to add some depth if I trade Matthews...thoughts?
