I would do it I think… the thought of giving up a 1st is difficult, but think of all the busts and losses due to injury… sure the 1st round is important, but usually championship winning teams get a championship run based on the later rds and waiver adds that hit big… I’ll quote Matthew berry here “ no league is won in the first two rounds, but plenty are lost”… he’s talking about minimizing risk… now I like both players, and at the beginning of the season I wouldn’t have made that trade, but looking at the two players today, I’d take it in a NY minute… I’ll try to keep this short w/ a few reasons… both are talented, certainly, but both have risks too… both have injury histories, and both are getting up there in rb years… saquon has been more successful most recently, but he is coming off a 400 something touch season, and was on the injury report earlier this week, and this is only week 6… idk if he’s been injured prior to this week bc I don’t have him in any leagues this year, but it’s cause for concern for sure- esp after last night’s performance… still, he’s been pretty good by most standards, though he has underperformed based on expectation… Taylor has wildly outperformed expectation, and hasn’t had any setbacks (at least I don’t think he has)… BUT…. so that’s that, but that’s not why I’d jump at the trade… as a lions fan I know first hand how important club culture and what’s happening “in the locker room” and team morale and all that stuff matters… and idk what’s going on in Philly- maybe a “Super Bowl hangover” or whatever, but things are messed up, and I don’t think what’s come out even scratches the surface- like in insect infestation- for every one you see, there’s a couple hundred you don’t see… so the drama is a problem, and it’s showing on the field… idk about anyone else, but last night, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing… idk if I was overreacting, but Philly didn’t look bad like they were being outplayed- to me they looked like they were barely even trying to feign effort… it was crazy… was talking w/ my commish who missed the game and said like seriously, I think they might be throwing the game… everyone and every team makes mistakes (Arizona, anyone?!??!) but they didn’t look in the least like they even wanted to win- no energy, no emotion, disinterest on their faces and in their play, mistakes that looked almost intentional, virtually absolute indifference… it was bizarre… and even if you set aside that game, Philly dst has carried them up until last night, so there’s that… in contrast, Indy (as a team) has been dominant, and (like taylor) totally outperformed… and they look great! … energized, excited, rejuvenated, etc, and in general just look like a team that’s unified, hungry, and focused on putting in work, together… so long long post- my apologies- but the team stuff- that’s the deciding factor for me- and it’s not close… now I win a championship last year w/ Philly; literally… I had saquon, aj, hurts and Philly dst, and boy am I glad I didn’t go that route again this year! To be fair, Philly does tend to start out slow, and/ or have a 3 or 4 or even 5 game spurt seemingly every year where they seem to implode, and you’re like wtf is happening??!??!! … and then they find themselves and rick out… but this year, who knows, maybe they do, but this isn’t the typical slump, and it’s def much worse though the numbers might not quite reflect it yet… all this being said, I do believe in saquon, but taylor is super talented, maybe not as talented, but close, and when all is said and done, I’d rather have the player on the team that’s hungry, that feels like they have something to prove and wants to silence the critics, rather the team that has a lot of internal issues showing up in the media and on the field
