Ive seemed to be struggling lately at QB.. M.Ryan didnt pan out this year and last week I picked up E. Manning as a stand in.. thought the matchup would play better.. over thinking things again.. should I go back to M. Ryan??

accept/reject or counter offer?

thanks in advance,
Smalls

Dunno 777,

I assume it's a small league cuz neither of you are really "hurting" at any position.

Eli and Fitz is not a bad qb duo though I can see your disdain with starting Cutler. Looks like this is really just a bad bye week for both you and I'm not so sure this one game is worth giving up Bowe and Jackson for.

Rivers has not been that hot this year either and I'm affraid you might just end up struggling with 3 Qbs.

Seeing too many reasons to NOT make this deal.

i would reject this offer. Rivers is not really having that great a year so far. between harvins migraines(which seem to be in check) and QB issues in MN leaves me kinda weary about him. Bowe and jackson are the stars of their respective teams and will be treated like so. What i mean is they will be the go to guys in their games. I don't know hwy he would want another running back. Fred jackson and Blount/Graham is really a nice 1-2 RB situation Or Ellis if hes healthy. And battle will be a nice flex the rest of the season.

You do have room to play with some trades with your running backs but i wouldn't get rid of Bowe if that was my team. I would keep manning for some matchups and honestly i would not ever be starting Fitzpatrick

I don't know how you feel about certain players but i would offer up best and fitzpatrick for someone. Actually you could use one more #1 or #2 WR and a better QB
sorry if that didnt help much

or like tek said you could just hold tight for now there should be better offers than that.

You do NOT want Percy Harvin. Let me repeat that...YDNWPH*.

I love Rivers. I think your trade is Rivers for Bowe or Jackson. Not both.

* He'll give you a migraine.

 

[cctekguy]

He can't afford to lose Bowe and Jackson is too much to give for Rivers, IMO.

Maybe Best for Rivers.

speaking of general QB advice, Feeley is reported to be starting this week in St. Louis
