Hypotheical offseason question.

Post by **Cliff** » Wed Mar 19, 2008 8:13 pm

Is there any player in the NFL that you would be comfortable trading AD for?

Not any kind of package deal with draft picks, etc. Just a one on one trade.

I was sitting around thinking about who, out of the current NFL player base, if given the option I'd take if I was starting my own team. I think AD would be the #1 pick in a lot of peoples minds, and I was just trying to figure out if I was just "drinking the purple koolaid".

And ... you know ... bored because it's the off season lol

Brady and Manning probably about it.

Possibly a Romo/Palmer. And LT would be in the conversation.

None of the above IMO, not at this point anyway. RBs can have very short careers but I'd like to see a little more of this guy in purple. There isn't a guy in the league I'd trade him for one/one right now.

LT is a better receiver, and blocker. He's also made it a few seasons without injuries.

I'd take a stud QB over a HB any day. You can find, and win with serviceable average HBs, you can rarely do the same with serviceable average QBs.

Tom Brady would be my first pick to build a team around. QB's have a longer shelf life than HB's and Brady could go down as the best signal caller in history.

Besides him, I don't think I'd take anybody. Manning and LT are both too old (compared to AD) and single defensive players don't make quite the impact. Moss is the only WR even worth mentioning but he also has a shorter shelf life left than AD. I don't think there is an OL in the conversation either.

Brady maybe, but Brady AND Moss hell yeah!

Brady is going into his 9th season ... Moss into his 11th ...

Peterson is going into his 2nd.

I think Peterson has the potential to be one of the "All time greats". It's that potential that makes me want to stick with him over any other player I can think of.

I think I'd come down on the QB side. RB's just have too much injury risk.

Which QB would you choose?

You make a good point about Brady's age. Though QB's often play well into their 30's, he probably doesn't have more then 6-7 good years left.

Hmm, not as sure, maybe roll the dice with a Romo or a Palmer

peyton, brady, rothlesberger
there might be a left tackle or two that I might take as well, but I can't think of now.

Potential maybe, he also has the potential to miss chunks of games because of injury. He's also not a great, or even good, blocker, and looks pretty bad when he has to catch the ball...

All can be fix though... Anyway I wouldn't even trade him. If it happened somehow? I would never trade him for just one single player. It would have to be a package deal. Man I don't even want to think about trading All Day. He is just too good.
