Should i trade the Chargers defense for Ben Roethlisberger?

Question

I am in a 8 manager league and we each week we have to play 2 quarterbacks and a defense. We just finished our draft and i am in need of a second starting quarterback. Right now i have tom brady, jake delhomme and jeff garcia, but i don't want to start jake delhomme or jeff garcia. Instead i want to trade for a new QB. Another manager offered me Ben Roethlisberger for the Chargers and i am considering it. The thing is, my back up defense is the Seahawks, and i dont know if they are a good starting defense each week?

Please advise on what to do. Thanks

Answer 1

with Tomlin wanting to throw the ball as much as he does Big Ben is worth much more than The Chargers D and allot better than Jeff Garcia

accept this trade before the other guy comes to his senses  

Answer 2

No.  You're better off getting random DSTs every week via free agency who have good match ups.  Ben is a top 10 QB.

Answer 3

GO with Rothlisberger the difference in quarterbacks is greater and more important than the difference in defenses. Quarterbacks are more important. Make the trade!

Answer 4

Jeff Garcia is a good QB, so keep him. As far as the Chargers D goes, they won't be near as good without Shawne Merriman(if in fact he does miss time), but I would hold on to their D until I know for sure what Merriman's status is.

Answer 5

First of all Seattle is a good defense.  Underrated and very good.  San diego may be without Merriman so eff them... Big Ben is a top 5 QB so yeah.. take that immediatly.. Dont drop Delhomme though.. If he is healthy he is a top 10 QB easy.  Garcia can go right where he belongs though and thats the waiver wire!
