Trade: Ray Lewis - AP, 1st, 2cd

[bucky]

Hypothetical:

Vikings offer AP, first and second round picks for Ray Lewis.

Baltimore turns it down.

Baltimore GM should be taken in the back 40 and assassinated?

Vikings GM should be taken to the middle of a huge lake and fitted with cement shoes for just offering this trade?

The trade was fair but just doesn't work out well for either side.

What say you VSN/VSD NFL experts.

I want to see if VSN is as retarded as some of the old timers on OS.

NFL is a business. Ray has been great, but the Ravens would accept so fast

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

the vikings gm needs to be shot for even suggesting such a thing. ray lewis' value is his heart and passion for his team not his physical abilities. don't get me wrong he is still elite, but baltimore would get AP is his prime and a 1st and 2nd round pick for a LB who has maybe 2 more years left. There is no way the Ravens could decline that offer.

This trade happened in Madden, in a fantasy draft.
So Lewis wasn't on the Ravens. AP not on the Vikings.

Other info: The team with Lewis was starting Brian Westbrook and Corell Buckhalter at HB. So they'd be moronic to not accept the trade.

In real life the Vikings would be the idiots for offering. But I see how Baltimore would be in a tough spot considering how iconic Lewis is, plus they have Ray Rice.

Some fucking idiot at OS is trying to say that the trade would never be offered in real life, so it is OK for the CPU to decline the trade. How fucking stupid is that logic.

That tards backwards ass logic would have the CPU declining getting two firsts for some backup scrub just because NFL GM's wouldn't be stupid enough to offer it. I mean, if your stupid enough to make such a one sided offer in favor of the CPU, the CPU shouldn't decline the trade. If your that stupid, you deserve to have the CPU rape ya.

Ray Lewis is 36. I don't think a team would even give up a first for him.

it's funny that you mention the vikings in this... i wonder who was the gm on the herschel walker trade and is he now working for ea or posting at os...

 

[Maynard]

there is a reason why GM's are GM's and bucky makes moronic threads on VSN after he visits OS

It's the only kind of thread VSN allows. Except for that Mayard, or Kosar is a faggot thread. That one was spot on.

If Ray Lewis was in his prime i could see bmore maybe hesitiating for a second. But right now?

 

[Senser81]

If I were Baltimore, I'd turn the offer down. But if the Jets offered me LaDainian Tomlinson, how could I refuse?

Just wanted to throw this out there in regards to the Walker trade...

Players selected with the actual picks traded to Dallas:
1990 1st Round (#21) TE Eric Green Pittsburgh
1990 2nd Round (#47) DT Dennis Brown San Francisco
1990 6th Round (#158) LB James Williams New Orleans
1991 1st Round (#11) OT Pat Harlow New England
1991 2nd Round (#38) DB Darryl Lewis Houston
1992 1st Round (#13) OL Eugene Chung New England
1992 2nd Round (#40) QB Matt Blundin Kansas City
1992 3rd Round (#71) RB Kevin Turner New England


Green was good for a couple years until he ate his way out of the NFL. Brown was terrible. Williams was terrible. Harlow was terrible. Lewis was decent for a few years. Chung was terrible. Blundin was terrible. Turner was pretty good, but he was a FB and not a full-time RB.

So of all those picks given up by Minnesota, only three players amounted to anything in the NFL.

I wouldnt have argued that dallas got all the people that helped them win 3 superbowls inthat trade, but i still would argue that the vikings got raped.
