Tough call.

I traded Newton last year after his first game thinking he would never have a game like that the rest of the season. ****! It depends on what other QB's you have and what you could get in a trade. If you don't have one of Rodgers, Brady, Brees, or Newton I'd hang on to him.

who did you get for Cam last year?

When I tell you, you're initial reaction will be, "you are ruhtard." You have to think back to get some context though.

Cam Newton was ranked by ESPN as the 29th rated fantasy QB going into 2011 and went undrafted in almost every league. His first game he tore it up, but almost every "expert" said that it was because of Arizona's weak secondary and that he likely wouldn't have another passing game like that the rest of his career, let alone during his first season.

I picked him up on the waiver wire after the first week specifically to trade him to a girl in my league who is a huge Panthers fan. I traded him for Dwayne Bowe, who the year before had ended the season as the 2nd highest scoring WR. I had Phillip Rivers, and its hard to imagine now, but at the time I couldn't see myself ever starting Cam over Rivers.

I honestly thought I had made a killer trade at the time, and possibly even ripped the girl off. Instead, Bowe had a bad year, Rivers had the worst fantasy year of his career, and Cam tore up the league. The girl I made the trade with ended up winning the league ($50 buy in) and I haven't heard the end of it since.

Yeah, you is ruhtard!
 
Y'all wanna hear something embarrassing ol' UGLI did?

I sent a trade to this girl in my league for Wes Welker

I sent her Steve Johnson and Donald Brown for Welker.

The embarrassing part is I put Steve Johnson in my starting lineup over Victor Cruz so that she'd look at the trade as more advantageous to her. Ya know, getting one of my starters and all.

Problem is, I forgot to put Cruz back in my starting lineup before the freaking Thursday Night game. **** **** ****!

Serves me right I guess. Hope Cruz doesnt go off.

I don't know the exact stats but I think Eli has about 200 yards in the first half and Cruz has like 2 catches for 12 yards or something like that And that Barden guy has around 100 yards.
 
if you don't have brown, you better pick him up. He's going to be really good. He scored a bunch tonight. I started him too.

I would guess it would be better to maximize him in a trade almost immediately. Didn't watch the game though so I'm pretty much spitballing. Was he really that good? Panthers have to be almost last in the league vs the run they make every OL look good.

I promise ya, he is that good. I just wonder what the Giants will do when Bradshaw gets back. Brown should start over Bradshaw though. Bradshaw really isn't even that good. Brown is much better. I think Brown will become the next Victor Cruz, where a Giants player comes out of no where, and tears it up. Even when Bradshaw gets back I think Brown will work his way into being the number one back, if not just given the job. Giants are terrible at running the ball with Bradshaw.
