Although I absolutely understand the frustration that promptd this, you will never get the return to justify the trade. The cards will move up in the draft and reach for a QB (it's in their DNA)

Don't trade him for a pick and don't trade him because we are losing. Trade him if you get a killer offer and keep him otherwise. It's not the same as with Boldin. We really had to move Boldin and the football world knew it. Larry's contract might make him unmovable but I'd rather win without Larry than lose with him so if someone offers us the kind of deal that Dallas rebuilt their franchise with, I'd move him and wish him well.

These two categories are not mutually exclusive. Larry Fitzgerald has no trade value.

Tell me exactly what you would want in return for Fitzgerald as part of this plan.

BTW, Rivers is one hell of a lot better than anything we've had in years, better than any other UFA.......Flacco, Schaub and Moore are the top UFA QB next season.

Aaron Rodgers, Marshall Townsend, Jermichael Finley, and first round picks in 2013,14,15,16 and '17.

I know exactly how a Fitz trade would translate to my Sunday football watching experience:

Every time the Cards had a home game we'd get treated to 3 hours of infomercials for the magic bullet or rotisserie ovens...

Set it and forget it!

I agree 100%. I wouldn't just trade him but, if the offer was 2 firsts I would consider it.

There are teams that are close to winning maybe their 1st super bowl like Houston who should not care what it costs them to make their offense even better than it is. And how about Denver now with Manning, the Redskins with RGIII, and the Colts with Luck. All those teams become instantly better and put themselves in a position to go further in the playoffs for the next couple years.

Heck, it is about time we take a team like the Redskins for a ride like teams usually do us.

Maybe you should go to a game and that wouldn't be the case.

Sorry, but I never saw a single trick-or-treater dressed as Q. We had a SLEW of Little Larrys this year.

(And they each got extra candy.)

Gah! I hate loosing and reading the End of Life As We Know It posts that night. :bang: (Congratulations. In four years here I don't think I've used that emoticion one time. You did me in.)

Glad we are basing Larry's value based on Trick or Treaters... And it is "losing", I hate reading poopy grammer.

I don't think we should trade him, but I do think he's bad value. No WR is worth 10-15% of the cap, especially when you don't have an elite QB to get him the ball consistently.

I think the word you're looking for is grammar and I'm pretty sure her error was a typo. Dems knows the difference between losing and loosing.

Too funny.

I hate reading posts where people are too lazy to find a decent adjective and so resort to foul language.

lol, then I believe I owe you an apology sir. And no doubt will many times in the future as well :D

(probably had a lot of that and poor spelling, grammar, etc. over the weekend. I got Vick/Cutler/Smithed Friday and my brain is still a little scrambled lol)

Right, trading our best player is a sure way to improve the team and win over more fans.

I think the very best we could get for Larry would be a 1st and a 2nd. Either that or a 1st and a player either an OT or a QB or a stud RB. Every team in the NFL knows how much better Larry would make their team and their other WRs. HE is a difference maker.

The reality is it would be a 1st and a 3rd or a 2nd and a player. I don't think any team would sell the house for Larry unless they believe he is the key to a Super Bowl. However you never know look at what New Orleans and Dallas did once to get players.

The adage, "a bird in hand is worth two in a tree", comes to mind.

Thanks, Dawg, you da kine.

(Translation for the haoles: Dawg's the best.)

Thanks for the translation. I see kine, I think moo. I know it's archaic now but we're both old enough to remember when it was still taught as such in school.

MODS!!!!!

Ha! I think we're both old enough to remember when Mods meant something else too although I think Austin Powers brought it to a more recent generation. I know you're against the OP's suggestion but would it help if Larry went to Andrew Bynum's barber? Fitz in a Beatles haircut, would you be willing to move him then?:)
