I appreciate you actually taking the time to respond Chargers, but previously you told me this in response to my trade:As to the validity of the trade itself, let's go ahead and look at the numbers from last year.
Yet you COMPLETELY throw out the numbers when you look at the trades I mentioned. That is the biggest issue I am having with this whole situation. The same personal judgment standards my trade was over turned for, are not being used across the board.
YET ALSO; players get bashed for being over 30 and still producing great stats. So the career of thomas jones was washed out regardless of his last couple years and based just on last year. Then Your judgment of Lloyd discredits is last year, takes into account his entire career then personal judgment is brought into the fold with well this is a fox offense now? Steve Smith had SOLID numbers when there was a good wr lined up on the other side in the FOX/Panther offense. Only in the last couple seasons when the qb play was in shambles, and Smith had no one on the other side did his numbers slip.
Now Fox has Orton, and Lloyd has other wr's that defense have to account for. So again personal feelings taken out and if you look at just this then that is why the trade is so lopsided. Not to mention looking at who was selected how is the #2 wr #10 overall (again your words lets look at numbers of last year as you said in mine) worth a flyer wr & a rb that out for the year. How is that keeping things competitive for the entire league?
Thanks, and I do understand you wanting us to be completely objective regarding trades, however, that is tougher than it might seem, and more importantly, that is not the way that the current rule is set up.
I've explained to you my view of all three trades and, suffice it to say, that I see the overturned trade as lopsided. The other two trades might have been a little bit off-balanced, but certainly not by much, in my opinion. Definitely not as much as the overturned trade. I think we'll just have to agree to disagree here.
