GREEN BAY PACKERS ACQUIRE LESEAN MCCOY

[Bretsky]

OK....just shitting you...for now anyways. If you believe in the where is fuel there is fire mojo....check the Net.

Would Ted Thompson have the stones to pull this off ?

I'd start out by packaging Randall Cob and a Draft Pick

[Bretsky]

besides cussing me out for being an @sshole......which I know I am...............I"m also curious if you at all bought into the title as being accurate.

in other words, think there is any imaginable way TTT could pull off something like this ??????

Bills need help at WR; a deal with them like this makes sense

[texaspackerbacker]

It's not a bad idea, but not a snowball's chance in hell of it happening.

And yes, sorry to say I did buy into it.

McCoy is 29 and has a fair amount of mileage on him. If they can get him for a relatively cheap price--say, something like what Marshawn Lynch brought when Buffalo traded him--then sure. No way does GB give up Adams and a 4 or a 1 or 2 as the article proposes.

[Zool]

They had me believing this was a possibility until they said the Packers had been dangling Adams. Then I knew the article was full BS. No fucking way Thompson trades a 24 year old ascending WR for a 29 year old RB. Also no way he would trade a first or second. This is a fan based article not a fact based one. 2 years of McCoy is what you're looking at and you set the price based off that.

The deal that really makes sense is Randall Cobb and a draft pick for McCoy. No Brainer IMO

Is Shady really that good? He's an RB, they're a dime a dozen. We don't run anyway. The gang of jabronis we have will be sufficient. I agree Cobb is not the stud we thought he was, at least anymore or wasn't the past two years, but I still don't see the RB as that big of an upgrade I guess.

[pbmax]

Give me a couple hours, I think we can swing Joe Thomas in this trade as well.

When he agrees you know it's a bad idea

[Brandon494]

Yea let's trade our future #1 WR for a RB who's about to hit 30....

[smuggler]

The Seahawks traded for Lynch when he was 24 or 25. Doesn't make near as much sense to trade for a 29 or 30 y/o RB.

[pbmax]

The deal that really makes sense is Geronimo Allison and a draft pick for McCoy. No Brainer IMO

FIFY!

A first-contract 24 year old rising star plus a fourth or fifth round pick for an expensive 29 year old running back, when 29 is old by running back standards?

Would Ted Thompson have the stones to do this?

Only if he's got stones in his head.

TT can be criticized, I suppose, for being reluctant at times (though I don't agree with this criticism), but let's hope we can't criticize him for making flat-out stupid trades.

This is the kind of shit fans come up with. It'd be like saying "Hey, I hear the Oilers want Randall Cobb, and they are going to trade JJ Watt for him straight up!"

Oilers?

[hoosier]

FIFY!

I don't even think I would do that trade. Straight up for a 4, maybe.
