My team

Schaub

CJ2K

DWill

Fitz

Wayne

Devery/Lee Evans/Antonio Brown

Owen Daniels

Cundiff

Lions

Bench

Lynch

Freeman

Grossman

James Jones

Aaron Hernandez

I traded Wayne for James Starks and Nate Burleson (I needed another RB bc Lynch and DWill a) have underperformed b)share the same bye week

Then on a whim offered Owen Daniels and Lynch for Antonio Gates and he accepted it.

Now my team is

Schaub/Freeman/Grossman

CJ2K/DWill/Starks

Fitz/Burleson/Devery/Lee Evans/James Jones

Antonio Gates/Aaron Hernandez

Cundiff

Lions

SO basically Owen Daniels, Lynch, and Wayne for Gates Burleson and Starks.....Am I better now?

Even though I don't trust Burleson very much, the fact is that you upgraded from a mid tier TE to the best TE in the game, and got rid of a guy who is stuck on a crappy team (Lynch) and going nowhere for a guy who is going to get increased reps on a good team (Starks). The dropoff between Wayne and Burleson to me is not nearly as significant as the other two, so I'd say you made out well. I'd consider checking out your waiver wire for other potential options at receiver (i.e. Eric Decker, Denarius Moore, Mike Sims Walker) to see if there is anyone else worth taking a flyer on.

    • For Bryce’s obvious shortcomings (bad pun), there is upside to his game. This isn’t being a homer or apologists, but I like to consider myself fair in criticism.  He’s far tougher than I ever thought he’d be. I really thought homie would have been broken in half by now. I don’t know how he’s not, but he’s not.  He is prone to turning the ball over early in games which digs a huge hole the team is not built to come back from, but dude DOES come up with crucial first down in crucial situations. It’s NEVER pretty, but he just kind of has the shining. He gets bailed out LOTS, and the team still loses games because of him, but he’s a bit of an enigma. He’s a turnover machine that is clutch in big moments.  He’s a smart/elusive cat. He kind of has to be with his limitations. His audibles are almost always correct and he understands coverages. I don’t see him getting fooled too frequently. His turnovers are almost never the ‘damnit Jake/Cam!’ brand we have been accustomed to. They are ALWAYS due to his size/strength limitations.  Strip sacks that shouldn’t be. Picks that happened because he just don’t got that NFL arm. He is still prone to panicking and the wheels can and do fall off at a much higher rate than his peers.  The team is winning on the backs of the defense, running game and special teams… but they’re winning, and unbelievably 1 game behind Tampa. As long as this is happening and Bryce doesn’t go full meltdown, Dave is going to keep him in. He is not getting pulled. 
    • This was a terrible podcast. A bunch of uninformed homers that had worse takes than the bottom 10% of the Huddle. I listened to a handful of podcasts this past offseason in search of new Panthers material since John Ellis doesn't do his pod anymore and The 4 Man Rush don't either. Immediately deleted it after the handful I listened to. Truly terrible.
    • The NFC South was so bad it sent a team with a losing record to the Playoffs that year. Wilks had players playing hard at the end but let’s not act like that was a good season. That season hurts even more now that we see in hindsight how good our QB situation was. We just didn’t know it.
