Maybe I'd have been better off on paper doing just the 1-1 Forte trade with you and working on Jordy with Will and keeping 2-1

but then, my luck always seems run opposite when I try to do stuff like that which seems best. Look at Chris Johnson last year. Hell, Beanie Wells did better than him on my team and you all said he sucked ass.

This *should* be a great year for Johnson. I thought about trying to work him in but I figured you would keep the Forte/Johnson 1/2 punch. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 26, 13:02
If you want to better position yourself, I'm sure others would like Chris Johnson. I know I'd be interested in trading for him. -- nm - David Jul 26, 12:54 6
- are you still interested in Ryan? -- nm - Reagen Jul 26, 13:12 1
  - I'm more likely to trade a QB than acquire one prior to the draft. -- nm - David Jul 26, 13:14
- and this is where my experience fails. Really, I feel better off having Johnson than thinking I could pick better at 1-4 or 2-4 trading with you - oblique Jul 26, 13:09 3
  - Fair enough. The skill you need to develop is how to maximize the depth of your roster. - David Jul 26, 13:13 2
    - Thanks. I've tried to look but really, it takes way too much constant effort to stay up to date on all the changes, etc. - oblique Jul 26, 13:15
    - some people just do more legwork than others. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 26, 13:15
I'd rather be wrong holding onto a star than gambling on a prayer. - Will Hunting Jul 26, 12:53
I had offered to take Chris Johnson off your hands last year -- nm - crash davis Jul 26, 12:52 2
- After I traded Johnson to him? - the wrong element, bad guy Jul 26, 13:02 1
  - oh, maybe it was you -- nm - crash davis Jul 26, 13:03
