Trade Brandon Marshall, Ryan Grant, and Donald Driver for MJD


My starting lineup would be...

QB- Peyton Manning
RB- Michael Turner
RB- MJD
Flx- Fred Jackson, Pierre Garcon, Nate Burleson
WR- Andre Johnson
WR- Vincent Jackson
TE-Mercedes Lewis
Def/Special teams- Atlanta
K- Mason Crosby

Well, what do you think?

No.

MJD + Jackson/Garcon/whoever in Flex wont be as good as; Grant + Marshall (in the Flex). Which is what the trade would essentially come down to.

Everything I have read is that Grant will be 2nd back to Starks.

Well, I wouldnt put much stock into that. I had Grant a few seasons ago and all I heard was he wouldnt be getting much time and then hed get 20 carries.

Not that it matters a whole lot, I would still think the #2 for GB would put up better numbers than Fred Jackson on a horrendous Buffalo offense.

Im not sold on MJD having a great year either with Jax being terrible and will be forced to throw a lot. Marshal has proven to be a stud no matter the offense or QB throwing to him.
