Question

I have a a trade proposed to me!

I give up Peyton Manning and Ronnie Brown

for Drew Brees and Brian Westbrook.

What should I do? What would you do?

Answer 1

It's a big gamble.  The season hasn't started yet, you're relying on projected stats, and for all you know any of these players could have a season ending injury on the first play of the game.  I would not make the trade though because of what Manning does day in a day out, and I've got a gut feeling that Westbrook is due for an injury that sidelines him.

Answer 2

i like manning  over brees by a lot,,, but i like westbrook over browm by far.. so i'd keep manning try and work out something for westbrook

Answer 3

Brees has the ability to put up Manning type numbers.  It's not guaranteed of course but the potential is there.  Westbrook is the superior HB by far.  And it remains to be seen if Brown can come back from his injury last season.  This looks like it could be a better deal for you.

Answer 4

I wouldn't do it. Brees and Westbrook are both often hurt, and you'd be giving up a LOT in Peyton.

Answer 5

do it brees is a good QB and westbrook is a solid top four RB. ronnie on the other hand I think is splitting time with Ricky, plus hes coming of an injury. and peyton is a great qb but I think you pull the trigger on the trade.

Answer 6

Absolutely, do this trade all day long. The difference between Manning and Brees as it relates to QB's is not nearly as great as the difference between Brown and Westbrook. Brown is coming off major knee surgery, for anyone to think he is going to approach the numbers he posted in an abbreviated 07 is crazy. Westbrook, if healthy all year will put up stupid numbers.

Answer 7

I would definately do it......Ronnie Brown might not be totally healed from his ACL injury and Westbrook gets tons of points. The trade off from Manning to Brees isn't bad either. I would definately do this trade.

Answer 8

No way. Peyton is just too valuable. He is always consistantly a top 3 QB and Brees has been on and off last year. Westbrook is a stud so try to get him with out giving up Manning. But Brown is back and healthy so he'll be a good sleeper this year. So keep peyton and try to get westbrook with out losing manning. Brown is a solid pick too,  but in the long run you'll get just the same amount of points with a star QB and a decent running back as you will with a decent QB and a star back. So i say no.
