    I knows right. I can pick on Fin-O much better than that.

    Eh Im not a Watson believer. I had a 3rd round grade on him last year and from what little i watched of him that may have been high. The return on Watson was phenomenal imo. Hayden I wasnt huge on either. So if I were a raider fan, hes not doing half bad

    perhaps... there's obviously different ways to run this thing... more trades = more fun... less trades = less fun?

    I agree. I like the trading. Without it you dont really give teams a chance to maximize their potential. Youre limiting them based on cap space, the FA pool, and having to flat dump players just to create cap space.

    And then there is Mach's way. No trades period.

    some will say that's more realistic of course... I think the true enthusiasts, that really want to feel how NFL GM"s run things, how they are faced with obstacles every day, might prefer that.

    I learned from alen, which means not giving up on rookies so soon. Watson had a 2nd round grade and Hayden had a 1st round grade. Hayden's net return approaches a late 1st in a deep draft, but I'm not really fond of Olsen all that much.

    If he uses that cap space and builds around Manning and the pieces, it could turn out okay.

    nope, still haven't made one.

    If the Raiders sign Vick though, it'll be fun (because I'm dumping the team in a hot minute), so I'll take whatever team and trade folks in the future.

    you are renouncing (or is it denouncing?) your fandom as a Raider fan if they sign Vick in the NFL?

    Yessir. Not sure where'd I'd go, but between a complete loss of identity and if that happened, I'd see no point in hanging around. At least with Al it was kind of funny being run by an old crazy guy. Signing Vick would just sit very poorly with me.

    I'm not entirely sure you're typing in English. Which is strange since your first posts here were rather eloquent.

    It's a shame you weren't around earlier because I used to sell off everything for draft picks, since that's my favourite part of the game. You'd blink at how many trades.

    Now I'm just kind of in a build from what you start with phase more or less. I might move to cap strapped demolitions in the future. One never knows.

    I can live with trading jordan...if we move wake it better be for a 1st +. Luckily LaCantMakeACorrectPredictionOrRumor reported this which means we know its bull. CK, FFG, Boom, and about 300 othe members here have more credibility then him. I dont know how anyone still employs that guy. Maybe hes more accurate on other teams reporting but his dolphins reporting sucks. :confused:

    Never once did he ask me to step in. I have a pretty twisted sense of humor and there was nothing sarcastic or witty about it.

    So the whole Re-Sign thing. I was thinking we wouldn't know the numbers and blind bid and if our bid was higher we would get that player.
