[quote name='ubernes']I don't really get this. I know he's not using Freeman, but Gore isn't an upgrade really is he? I mean, he'll probably regress and Blount will advance and we're probably looking at two RBs in the mid 80s. I hate to keep shooting these down, but Freeman is beastly and is worth Gore + a 3rd on his own.[/QUOTE]

Very true.

Blount is out 6 more weeks. That doesn't mean it makes any more sense to trade away Freeman, but at least for the foreseeable future, Gore is a big upgrade for the Bucs.
 
Aren't the Bucs winless though? Not sure you sacrifice your future during a 0-5 season. Also is Ernest Graham that poorly rated?

They are 3-2.

I don't get it either. Blount and Gore are near equals to me, especially at the end of the season, so it feels like you're trading a young, highly rated, A potential, franchise QB for a 3rd round pick.
 
[quote name='bvharris']Blount is out 6 more weeks. That doesn't mean it makes any more sense to trade away Freeman, but at least for the foreseeable future, Gore is a big upgrade for the Bucs.[/QUOTE]

He doesn't really use Freeman, he uses Josh Johnson and now Mallett. Freeman should go, but for the right price considering he'll be a low 90 next season.
 
I've got to agree with the majority here, The trade is definitely in favor of the 49ers. San Francisco gets a Young, Talented, and Elite QB with an A Potential and already high rating at 23 years old along with Blount at 81 Overall and only 24 and A Potential. Tampa gets a 91 rated near 30 Year Old and a 2nd Rounder? As Ubernes said if anything Gore will regress. I think Freeman for Gore is more legitimate, It's not like San Fran can't survive anyway, they put up 60 last week.
 
Wait. I completely missed that Blount was in that trade along with Freeman. Yeah, that's a non-starter.

Freeman for Gore is more reasonable.
 
Gore for Freeman straight up? I was told no by management when I offered Aaron Curry and a 1st rd pick, but this is ok?! At least Curry had some upside.

I'm obviously out of the race for Freeman which is fine. But a trade like this in real life, with only picks involved, would require at least a 1st and 3rd. Slap in a 91 OVR RB on the downhill side of his career...I think a pick needs to go too.

Cru you put up 60 last game (against the Bucs no less...) you going for 80 next week :)
 
Gore for Freeman is more legit as I said, but I do think a draft pick should be thrown in as well. To compensate for the age difference. Freeman could easily become a better performer than Frank Gore in the next few seasons.

Also ... is anyone interested in Kyle Orton (82 OVR) ? I'm looking to unload him since I've named Tebow my starter.

Edit: I give a nod of approval to the Javid Best for Mike Williams Trade, if it proceeds.

More of postseason move to put the 49ers over the top. Definitely an upgrade over Colin Kapernick. What about Gore and Alex Smith for Freeman, maybe a low round pick too.

The trade hasn't been approved yet. In fact, that version of the trade hasn't even been agreed to by the two parties as far as I can tell.
 
Just dropping to let yall know the gore trade is off the table I feel like i am giving up to much to get but i do have a trade going with the lions i am about to post with ages and pots
 
[quote name='venom']Attention: Jets SUCK .... That is all.[/QUOTE]

Certainly nice to get a win there. I think the Jets are a lot better than their 2-3 record indicates. I still think they're going to be in the mix for a playoff spot.

[quote name='staticz']Is there a trade deadline?[/QUOTE]

I believe last year it was Week 10. Can someone confirm?
 
[quote name='sprice8688']Possible trade alert rb javid best 23 b potential 80 ovr for mike Williams wr, 84 not sure his potential[/QUOTE]

I think Williams is an A, but I don't remember. Either way, I like this trade.

The trade deadline was either week 8 or 10 last year, I don't remember.
 
[quote name='Doomtime']I don't really pay attention to the Patriot games, but why isn't Ocho pulling in numbers? Is he Moss-like in his work ethic?[/QUOTE]

I think Wes Welker has something to do with his numbers and Ocho is still not on the field every play I think they are letting him get more and more time every week watch he will blow up in the post season
 
[quote name='Doomtime']I don't really pay attention to the Patriot games, but why isn't Ocho pulling in numbers? Is he Moss-like in his work ethic?[/QUOTE]

He's essentially their 5th option in the passing game. He's not been on the field much, so it's not so much a matter of not capitalizing on chances as not getting many. He had a couple nice grabs today.

It's pretty obvious that Welker, Branch, Gronk, and Hernandez are all better players than him at this point, so I'm not upset not to see him involved more.

There's been some talk that he's had trouble grasping the offense, though I don't know how much there is to that.

[quote name='Tanabeo']Trade Up For Review

Mike Williams 84 24 A POT for Jahvid Best 80 23 B POT[/QUOTE]

This looks pretty reasonable to me.
 
Ahh, well hopefully he can catch on by playoff time.

As for the trade, looks good to me too.

Also Ultimate Matt, Raiders guy is still on and ready to play.
 
[quote name='Doomtime']Ahh, well hopefully he can catch on by playoff time.
[/QUOTE]

As always with the Pats, I don't care who's catching the ball as long as someone is. I do like Ocho though, so of course I'd like to see him do well, but with so many weapons it's always going to be tough to get involved.
 
[quote name='Doomtime']I just wish I started Green-Ellis today, 28 pts I missed out on :([/QUOTE]

I wish a lot of things. My main team (which has been to the championship game 3 straight years) fell to 0-5 against a guy who started Danny Woodhead (inactive) and Knowshon Moreno (backup) at RB.
 
[quote name='sprice8688']How long is the review before it goes through.spost to play cru tonight[/QUOTE]

The Bucs-49ers trade is off the table. Go ahead and play as usual.
 
Im about to play my game with ballhawk so maybe we can get our players mon or tues and have them for next week. if it goes ok with everyone
 
[quote name='sprice8688']Me and the bucs have the trade u guys are reviewing[/QUOTE]

Right, my bad.

I don't see ubernes having any major objections to that one. Nor do I.

Trade approved. Go ahead and make the swap before playing your games (you should do it as an add/drop, since if you do it as a trade it won't process until next week).
 
[quote name='Tanabeo']Im about to play my game with ballhawk so maybe we can get our players mon or tues and have them for next week. if it goes ok with everyone[/QUOTE]

If you guys would prefer to wait until Week 7 that's fine. Just process it as a normal trade then. Just make sure Mike Williams doesn't play in 2 games. :D
 
Anyone hear or know ultimate Matt? I have been online waiting for him for like 4 hours. Pm, public reply, xbox msg, friend request.... He said early this week he would be on all day Sunday. Let me know if you hear from him thanks
 
Still no word from Pittsburgh, sent him a message telling him my availability and no response. Haven't seen him on XBL, I've been on most of the day.

In general, my availability is Thursday night, Friday night, Sunday night after 10 PM EST, and Monday through Friday, 2 PM to 3 PM EST. Odd I know, but such is my life.
 
TRADE ALERT:

Panthers trade HB Johnathan Stewart (81 OVR, A, 24 yrs old) and MLB Dan Connor (80 OVR, A, 25 yrs old)

Redskins trade MLB Rocky McIntosh (81 OVR, B, 28yrs old) and HB Ryan Torain (76 OVR, B, 24 yrs old)

Interesting. Skins owner, can you post the potentials for McIntosh and Torain when you get a chance?

Torian is more of a 'bruiser' right? The potentials don't match but I think the trade makes sense. All 4 players appear to be opposites of each other so it looks like a play style move to me.
