Good stuff as always. I'm sorry I couldn't make it. Would have liked to explain my thought process, but Joel kinda hit on it. I wasn't winning with Dillon, so I didn't see this as a big loss by trading him. I got a few other solid pieces and picks, so even if I don't win right away, I think I will be better going forward.

good listen..
Nick you offered me 2 1st's for 1.13 if your player Browne dropped which obviously he didn't.
1.13 was a rough spot as there were some great defensive player options (I took the LB) but no skill player worth taking at that point

I disagree. When you first got Dillon, you looked like the team to beat in the NFC. You were KILLIN' it. Don't know what happened, but to me he proved he was a good QB for you when you got him. I think you should have gone back, looked at why you suddenly became successful with him, and try to duplicate it. I think FatCat had the same problem which kept him from making it to the next level... he kept throwing away big pieces when things started going bad... and where did he end up? I know you've won it all in other leagues... did you do the same thing there, or did you build a core group of players and stick with them? I don't know, but it just irks me a little when very good GMs like yourself keep moving pieces around instead of keeping them and building around them. |

I don't know, but it just irks me a little when very good GMs like yourself keep moving pieces around instead of keeping them and building around them. My take on why Dillon was good right after the trade from Cleveland...he was glad to be out of Cleveland. As for why we didn't continue his success...I have no idea. If anyone has any answers, bring it. I've talked about this every year since getting him, or any other decent QB I've had. My playbook, scheme and overall game plan didn't really change at all over the last three seasons I had Dillon. Something just didn't click. I'd really like to say it's because I haven't ever had that big time WR. That one "go to" target. Outside of Harden my TE, there hasn't been one. "Look at why you suddenly became successful and duplicate it" Yes Murph. That's what I've tried. When I find a game plan that works, I RARLY change it. So the GP I had in his good half year with us carried over to the next year. Here's what I do in other leagues...if it's not broke, don't fix it. So when I'm winning in other leagues, I keep players around and continue...business as usual. When I'm not winning, regardless of who's on the roster, I'll shake things up and pull trades like this. It's certainly not on a whim either. It's not like "I've lost five in a row, time to rebuild the team" It'll take me a season or two of trying to figure things out before I decide to move pieces around. I'm an impatient sort. So I'm not likely to spend 3, 4, 5 seasons rebuilding and gather pieces and building around one guy. The Rams motto is: "Get in here and do your job, or we'll find someone else to" |
