The trade that was offered is Earnest Graham for Michael Turner and Vincent Jackson.


So, basically what do you guys think? Should I pull the trigger?

Nah. Graham’s the unencumbered starter in Tampa; he’ll probably get a bulk of the goal line carries in a very conservative red-zone offense. With Turner you have to worry about Norwood leeching away some of Turner’s carries, especially if Turner sucks out early on in the season.

I like Jackson’s potential but you’ll have to wonder how many passes he’ll see in that offense, especially with Chambers in the mix and the rest of the guys (relatively) healthy again. He’s a much better option than Walker to have on your bench but he doesn’t make your starting unit any better.

With two risks at starting RB, I’d suggest holding onto the surer bet (Graham) than to downgrade at RB in order to improve a bench receiver.

i wouldn't do it, as BBJ said turner is going to have norwood to deal with in Atlanta

Thanks BBJ...

Ask him what it would take to do just a Vincent Jackson trade. He could really help your bench depth.

Should I trade Harrison and Maroney for Gore? Thanks in advance.

depends on ur WR depth and whether you get points for catches or not

Do this trade before the idiot that proposed it to you has changed his mind.

Isn't this the same guy that proposed the Turner and Curtis for White?

Do this trade NOW!

Norwood or not, Turner is going to get 260 carries on the year easy as well as 50-70 receptions.
Turner has absolute breakaway speed, and is a bowling ball.

He wil be the goaline back, and overall lead back on a run 1st team, a team with a rookie QB, that no matter how effective will rely heavily on the run and dump the ball of to his RB's a lot, especially with the lack of an effective reciever after Roddy White.

Graham will split carries with Dunn, who no matter what age will be an effective yardage back.

Jackson has the opportunity to catch a lot of balls, especially if Gates is down at any point during the season.

The only bad thing is you have to drop somebody.

Pick wisely who you have to drop.

This trade is beyond a no brainer.

Take the F-ing money and run.

NOW!

How in the hell is Graham the surer bet over Turner?!

You are so wrong.

I know it is a lot of speculation and opinion, but you must be kidding me.

Turner was signed to a big FA deal, and was highly sought after for good reason.

I understand preseason is preseason, but did you see some of the absolute homeruns he ripped off against some stought 1st team defenses!

I am kicking myself for not drafting him in my money league.

Beleieve me he will be the truth, and besides, what are you givivng up for him?
Graham?!
Graham might be quite solid, but he has no real upside above maybe the 12th best back at absolute most, and that is being very optimistic. And he isn't even locked in as one of this guys starters.
Yes that is considering that he is going to start Ronnie Brown, but I have to do this trade without even thinking about it.

I mean since when is Graham a household name either?

He got lucky to be the starter last year becauseof somany injuries.

Isn't he above 30?

Turner has the upside to literally be top 5.

Take this trade now, and if you don't, do not cry to me later in the season when Turner is wrecking defenses on the ground for dinner and catching major yardage for desert.

Please tell me you jumped on that trade.

I have this feeling if you didn't he has pulled the offer back already.
