2011 Huddle Draft

Yeah need to be reasonable trades.

Once we have all the teams accounted for we should take a vote on 3-5 users who are online a good amount of the time that can have veto powers on trade proposals. Those people can communicate via pms if they think a trade is too over the top....

I don't agree with you that it wont work with any players being traded. I think it can work with players being traded there just needs to be firm rules set up beforehand and a committee so to say to veto asinine trade proposals.....

I just think there is a gray area when it comes to asinine trade proposals. For example, a couple pages ago you thought Andre Johnson could be traded. Personally if you got a first rounder for him I wouldn't mind it because it is on par with the Brandon Marshall trade that happen in real life, but it probably would have been veto. Who determines the players that can and cannot be traded, the committee? I would rather do a FA and a draft, with trades involving only picks or everything goes. Just my two cents.

It really depends on the owner, depending on the compensation I'm sure a trade involving a marquee player could be agreed to and passed through in this. However, last year we has insane trades (moving Peyton, Rivers, Rogers etc etc for nowhere near their value). I think if you had a group of people who could make sure trades are realistic it would work ok. I'm sure if I moved Andre for a middle to high first and a role player it would probably pass. Although there are Houston fans who think he is pretty much untouchable as I have found out through stalking their message boards in preperation for this.....

Last year's trades went fine besides the Charges who had a fire sale on their entire roster and were shipping Pro Bowl players left and right. I don't quite remember who was all involved in the Manning trade and I'm too lazy to look it up, but the Colts received good compensation from that trade including picks that landed them Sam Bradford. I'm just thinking too much into this, I'm sure the trades will be fine. I did the same thing with Patriot message boards last year.

    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive lshort or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
    • Then please take a vacation from the team.
    • In addition to his weak arm he has to compensate in the pocket by throwing off his toes due to his height. Respectfully, its a handicap.
