Default Re: Bloodsuckers and EcoWarriors Big Bang Trade on the 4th of July

As is the case with most trades, I think both of you are looking at things through rose colored glasses. Edwards' biggest drawbacks are the combination of Winslow/Lewis stealing points and the possibility of Anderson coming back to earth (which I hope he doesn't since I traded for him!). I've never seen anything to make me think he's in the same zipcode as Moss or TO in headcase terms. Bush is a marginal #2 RB. He'll win you some games, but he'll also go on a streak of 3-4 games where he gets you single digit points...if he can stay healthy enough to play that many games in a row.

Turner has an O-line being made from scratch in front of him and no real passing game to speak of to keep defenses honest, so this is basically a throw away year for him. Who knows how ATL will shape up by the end of the season? I'd love to see Evans morph back into a true #1 and I think he has the potential to do that once James Hardy or someone starts taking some of the coverage off of him, but that depends largely on how Edwards does this season and if Buffalo's O-coord actually opens up the offense like they're saying they will. Again, you're still looking at mid-season before you can expect to see decent returns on Evans and that's the best-case scenario.

Bottom line is that neither of you is going to be truly competitive this season and there are a lot of ifs to be proven true before we see anything close to the returns you both seem certain will occurr.
