Bob in SC Posted April 9, 2005 Posted April 9, 2005 Some opinions, please. Let's say this is all about 2005, not a wild idea given the patience level of TSW. Suppose THE TRADE is made and either (1) Dennis Green is right about Shelton, or (2) he goes down with a season-ending injury. What do we have? No improvement in the offensive line and a RB who may cost more and is not as young or talented as TH. We could easily be worse off than if THE TRADE never occurs. Let's say we trade and Shelton is a slight upgrade (over Teague) at LT. We still have suffered a downgrade at back-up running back, a pretty important position, given the likelihood of injury for starting RB's. (Anyone know what percentage of starting RB's make it through a season without being sidelined?) Call it a wash. Either way, I will not be upset if the Shelton trade, with or without a trade in picks, never occurs. OK, tell me what I am missing here (I know you will).
Marv Levy Posted April 9, 2005 Posted April 9, 2005 I would love TH to stay but ego is the acronym for NFL. Its all about "me" baby. You can never have enough RBs.
