Trade for Aaron Rodgers? WHIR

Postby organist » Thu Oct 04, 2012 10:45 pm

I have been proposed this trade;

My Cam Newton + Brandon Marshall for Aaron Rodgers.

I am pretty sure I could get a 'reaonable' WR in return for one of my RBs if I needed to, but I think that with Rodgers in my lineup I might be okay to roll with the guys I have. Not that it means much necessarily, but the yahoo 'evaluate trade' feature basically yells at me for even hesitating on this one... what does everyone else think?

Our respective rosters are below;

10 teams
0.5 PPR
Passing: 20yds/pt
Rushing/Receiving: 10yds/pt
TDs = 6pts
Fumble/interception = -2pts
RETURN YARDS = 20yds/pt

Team 1.................................................. Team 2
Q... Cam Newton (QB, CAR)......................... Robert Griffin (QB, Was)
R... Ray Rice (RB, BAL)............................... Frank Gore (RB, SF)
R... Adrian Peterson (RB, MIN)...................... Matt Forte (RB, Chi)
W... Brandon Marshall (WR, CHI)................... Demaryius Thomas (WR, Den)
W... Hakeem Nicks (WR, NYG)...................... Dwayne Bowe (WR, KC)
T... Heath Miller (TE, PIT)........................... Tony Gonzalez (TE, Atl)
K... Matt Bryant(PK, ATL)............................ Greg Zuerlein (K, STL)
D... Baltimore Ravens................................ San Francisco
(we do not play a flex position)

B... Alfred Morris (RB, Was)......................... Michael Turner (RB, Atl)
B... Rashard Mendenhall (RB, PIT)................. Michael Floyd (WR, Ari)
B... Brian Hartline (WR, MIA)....................... Brandon Pettigrew (TE, Det)
B... Stevie Johnson (WR, BUF)..................... Devin Hester (WR, Chi)
B... Lance Moore (WR, NO)........................ Aaron Rodgers (QB, GB)
B... Aaron Hernandez (TE, NE).................... EMPTY (weird huh?)

I agree with the Yahoo evaluate trade feature.

I think he gets far too much in this trade, IMO Rodgers would be worth more like Newton + Johnson/Mendenhall.

I don't think you do this. You're giving up an arguably top 7 or 8 QB and a top 5 receiver for a possible #1 QB. I generally say that you want to walk away from trade with the best player but in this one, I don't think there is enough value on the other side to give up those 2 pieces. Good luck!

I agree. typically the goal is to get the best player in the deal... but in this case, I just don't like what you're giving up for him.

thanks for the help with mine. Had a question on your post, take a look if you have a moment:

I am with the others here. You'd be giving up too much. Try it with Newton and a lesser WR if you really want Rodgers.

Help with mine please. viewtopic.php?f=18&t=524457

I wouldn't go for that trade, the drop to Stevie isn't worth it, IMO. If you could get him to throw in Bowe or Demaryius I do think it would be a winner.
