Would you make this trade?

Moore has more upside than Orton and Marshall has more baggage than Smith believe it or not. We need to improve our wide receivers not replace one for another. Now if you were talking adding Marshall I might be in the conversation but he is a talent for sure but a locker room problem. If we get rid of Smitty we need a guy like Boldin or someone who would be good on the field and off.

Orton is proven to be nothing but a game manager who chokes when the game is thrown onto his shoulders. He has a noodle arm, and while he does make good decisions, he cannot carry a team on his shoulders. I'd rather wait and see if Moore can rather than throw him out without giving him a full season to show us what he's got.

Brandon Marshall is a stud, though. I like Smitty more though :P

also to someone who mentioned Calvin Johnson.. Take a look at who has been throwing him the ball lol. He had 1300 receiving yards with Cullpepper throwing to him lol, and this year he was injured a lot. Wait until Stafford gets a better o-line and has more than .01 seconds in the pocket and you'll see how good Megatron is.

He is comparable to Julius Peppers when it comes to genetics/athletic freakness.

edit- forgot to answer the question haha. no, not a chance in hell.

I don't think it's a good trade but even if you think we're coming out slightly ahead in value the difference wouldn't be significant enough that it's worth switching out 2 key positions on offense. It sets your team back bringing new guys in, having them learn a new system, go through that learning curve and develop chemistry with all new teammates. Plus there's always the risk that they flop in a new system with new players around them, like Cutler did in Chicago. There's a reason why player for player trades almost never happen.

    • These are the three deep throw attempts that Will Levis made in week 12. His first one is a beauty; Levis and Westbrook-Ikhine gets the safety to bite on a deep dig only to go over the top for the score. His second throw is another beauty: a crosser to Calvin Ridley reminiscent of Bryce to XL (though Ridley has noticeably more separation on his route). His third and final deep shot was an incompletion from his own endzone on 3rd & 14 with pressure coming down on him (to me, this seems like a solid throw).   Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-02.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Levis took half of the deep shots that Young did. The differences are: Ridley had much better separation than XL, which is why his deep crosser turned into a 63yd play since he was able to scamper for another 15+ after the catch. Westbrook-Ikhine holds on to his TD pass. Bryce had to throw one away to preserve time for a field goal. Bryce had two more throws that were incomplete due to the WR Are we really holding the three WR errors and clock management decision against Bryce in order to say that Will was better throwing deep in week 12? That's not passing the eye test nor is it confirmed by the data.
    • If you go on the PUP list before the season starts, you are gone for the year. If you start the year on the PUP list then you can get off of it. Kind of semantics, but we are putting him on the PUP list now which is before week 1, that’s why people who come off of it aren’t really on the PUP list until week 1, hence you usually hear right before the season that they are “starting the year” on the PUP list. I think PUP list and IR may basically be the serve the same purpose now because you also sometimes hear that if a player is added to the IR before week 1 that they aren’t eligible to come off the IR list for the entire year. Now, everyone added to IR (post week 1) can come off after 4 (or more) games so the PUP list is meaningless since it’s 6 games and starts at week 1. Anyone added to PUP or IR in the preseason is gone for the year.
    • I saw Brooks maybe a few weeks ago, he was walking pretty normally. of course he wasnt running, jumping and cutting.
