My take on Bill - Tuna trade

Posted by Victor Donge on
I think it's a good trade for both parties. They both got rid of players they devalued due to recent developments and simplified their keeper decision process. Tuna simplifies his RB choices and Bill gets a #2 RB keeper. I take it Bill is not very high on Phil Rivers, so he's expecting Gates' numbers to decrease, while Tuna has worried about McGahee ever since I pointed out to him Buffalo's shortcomings in this year's draft. A good example of addition by subtraction here.

Though I'm officially neutral on the Bill-Larry trash talk exchange, I can't pass up this alert: Shaun Alexander is on notice as he is this year's Madden coverboy. You all know about the curse, here's a very good site on the Madden Curse history. Some of you are not as superstitious as I am, but the facts don't lie:

McGahee was the 3rd or 4th RB on my Roster behind Lamont, Caddy, and possibly Kevin Jones, so it would have been hard to keep him. Heap also would have been a tough keep. I traded depth to improve quality and give my keepers better balance (2/3 RB, 1/2 WR, 1 TE).

Bill recieved two quality keepers.

Note: He now has 10 RBs on his roster.
