Wow. I just read everything that has been written in the last day. This is why I prefer no trade leagues. There is always too much disagreement on what constitutes a good or bad trade. It's just too arbitrary and by having no trades it takes any discussions like this out of the equation. Personally I think the trade is fair enough. The 0-4 team is desparate and I applaud him for trying to make something happen even though I would have never traded McCoy. I would take McCoy over anybody this year but that's just me. I myself think Thompkins has more value than some are giving him. I think he will be even more effective when Gronk and Amondola get back. He will get less targets but more meaningful ones in my opinion. I myself would love to have any one of these 4 guys on my roster. I think there a lot of points going forward with these 4. I'm not worried about any collusion between Dude and Walter. We are all big boys here. I think it's pretty cool we all have the trust to send $500 off to somebody we don't know except on a message board to possibly get paid if we win. Let's keep this league going and keep talking on our board here. Only downside here is not enough shit talking between everybody. I am in mourning today as I was in Ames, Iowa last night watching my Cyclones take one in the ass from the refs. Not much of anything going to make me feel good today. Good luck to all this week except to Tittsburgh Feelers who got 21 freaking points last night to that high draft pick Fred Jackson. ^^
Give me a break.
Agree with you about McCoy. Yeah he could get hurt, he also could go 2000-20 and win someone 3500 bucks pretty easily. I think people worry about injuries too much in leagues that aren't heavy on sideaction. Only 1 team is winning anyway so upside is very important. If McCoy stays healthy I think he is the #1 RB as well with only AP really in the conversation with him. As far as the trade goes it is what it is, I wouldn't have done it but we'll see what happens.
I'm actually in a few no trading leagues and it is nice (I wouldn't want no trading for this league fwiw)
Everyone just does the auction, makes their picks and then gets waiver $ rest of the year. No room for any collusion, disagreements, pissing contests, etc...
