Question

I have:

over-alll rank

for

Carson Palmer (QB: engals): 15

Fred Taylor (RB: Jaguars): 50

Mason Crosby (K: Packers):

Answer 1

Only if you are reeeeeeaaaalllllly weak at RB.  And never trade for a K.  A kicker doesn't make a difference in the final score 95% of the time.  They all get about 8-10 points a week.

Palmer could have a solid 4,000 yard 30 TD season.  I think Romo definitely WILL have a 4,000 yard 30 TD season.

The question is this.  Are you so bad a RB that Fred Taylor would move immediately into your starting line-up?  If so, do it.  If not, do not.

Answer 2

No way. Quality over quantity. Romo is better than Palmer (we all know that). Fred Taylor is going to get about 6 TD guy with yards and is a bye week replacement if that. Kickers have no trade value - period.

Romo has the better weapons, coaching, red-zone looks, and less risk than Palmer. Keep what ya got.

Answer 3

Let's see.  #4 QB for an injury-prone QB, a RB almost 33, and a kicker that anyone can get?  Don't think so....

Answer 4

I would do this deal, Carson is undervalued as #15 he has the receivers and now a tight end to go across the middle. He will big numbers and if the Bengals can run the ball, watch out. Fred Taylor is getting better with his age. Plus Romo only has 2 real threats to throw the ball two. I would take TJ, Chad and Utecht over TO and Witten anyday.

Answer 5

Nope.  I wouldn't unless you are really soft at RB.  Romo will do pretty good this year with TO and Witten catching his passes.  Cincy has two great WRs but they don't have a running game to keep defenses respecting the run.  Dallas invested alot in Barber...if it works out...Romo is set for a nice year.
