Manning's been the source for more than half of my points in the last few games. Should I make the trade or nay? sell high. of course, i wouldn't. but that's an emotional thing. i picked Manning in the first round the year he was out for the season ffs. but you should definitely make that trade. Yeah you have to make that trade (person offering is a fool) |

if nothing else it diversifies your risk. Say Manning gets injured, for instance, which could easily happen. The other three guys are a lot less likely to go down all at once. Who do you have right now that Jackson and Bush would be replacing though is the important question. Unrelated to the above, I'm wondering about Jackson's value now that Vick is back on the injury carousel. |

I was questioning whether I would need DeSean Jackson or not but now that the season might be over for Julio Jones, I'm definitely willing to make this trade happen. If you have Julio (like I do in one league) run, do not walk, to make the trade |

There's a significant chance that the Bucs, Steelers, and the Jaguars won't win a game this season. Then again, once the Steelers completely bomb their season they'll start showing promise again. |

Jags though...may be the worst team of all time. |

hey corrections (or anyone who wants to answer, but i know corrections knows this shit), i know a few years ago we all (meaning everyone who pays attention to football) pretty much agreed to put Rodgers as the de facto "best QB alive" with Peyton, Brady and Brees still in the top tier but only as a conversation about 2-4. but can we legitimately re-start that conversation with how Peyton has played so far this season? i know it almost sounds absurd for someone his age to re-enter the conversation for "best alive", but maybe we crowned Rodgers a bit prematurely? not that he didn't absolutely earn that title. but other than the injury (where we all just took for granted that "oh Peyton is done, there is no way he's coming back from this as the same player") Peyton hasn't shown any reason that he ever should have been taken out of the conversation to begin with, has he? i'm curious to know what your thoughts are. |

I won't attempt a comprehensive answer, but Manning has more weapons around him than he's ever had which can't hurt |

as a Colts fan, i don't know that i agree with "ever" (i mean, that mid-2000s Colts offense was pretty stacked). but i get your point. i don't know if its fair though to take away credit from a QB because he has great targets though. we could easily have done that to any of those 4 QBs i mentioned at some point in their career. |

I don't think it takes credit away to acknowledge that half of a completion is running a route, getting open and catching the ball. I think it contributes to the conversation of trying to understand how a guy his age has this kind of resurgence in results. It's no surprise that many of the great QBs in history are forever paired with their great WRs. IMO it's basically impossible to know the extent to which one's success is due to the other, and that says nothing of the line they're playing behind which itself can make or break a QB, or the threat of the run, or even the play calling/offensive coordinator. What I'm arguing essentially is that it's a futile exercise to try to definitively crown a greatest because there are just too many variables in this exceptionally team-based sport. But also imo Manning never left the elitest group of QBs to begin with. |
