Enter Apotheosis Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I hate these threads. We have a great player and people want to trade him For a player of dubious upside over said player, no less. This would be like wanting to trade RGIII for Luck.

Rpredskins Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 A 20mil "superstar" brings us back to the years where we failed miserably. I love seeing our guys play for each other. They love the fact that this dude drives an old car and runs his ass off every play. I'll take Morris all day, every day. How about a 120mil superstar? That's what we're gonna have a couple years from now haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins199021 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I love morris but I would def trade him straight up for Richardson. Richardson is basically morris but faster and can catch better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U C S D SkinsFan Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Throw in Joe Haden and I'd make that deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirClintonPortis Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 It depends on the terms with which the trade is executed. Alfred Morris is very good at being a power back: gain yards after contact and get 1st downs. That isn't to say he's good at other things like being a receiving threat or not having butterfingers. Another thing Morris has is health and cheaper pay. I have not seen Richardson play, but if I actually did, I would be comparing the aforementioned factors and other factors when considering the deal. It's foolish and simple-minded to make absolute pronouncements of a decision that requires careful weighing of the costs and benefits incurred.

bedlamVR Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I think in a recent article Morris said it himself . Durability not ability will mean you have a impact in this league - we have already seen T Ritchardson has had some injury issues - Just because the scouts go crazy over someone and he plays well in collage does not make him an NFL stud ..

Durability plays a big part, but Morris is underselling himself if his point is that ability doesn't matter. Evan Royster is a guy who is an example having less ability and thus being practically worthless for anything but being a benchwarmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptChaos86 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 At the beginning of the year I would have been Stone Cold "OHH HELL YEAH!!!" But now that i know what we have in Morris. I wouldnt trade him for any other back in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinsfan In NM Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I wouldn't even trade him for Peterson. Reason being is that he is developing at the same time as Griffin. Let the two develop together, get the chemestry that can only come with years of playing together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No amount of chemistry is going to give Morris the speed Peterson has or the rest of his skillset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsfan In NM Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I agree with that, however, how many more years are you going to get from Peterson? Why give up on someone that is doing a great job just to add a player that, while great, has had one major injury so far. And is getting up there in years played. I don't try and take anything away from AP at all, I am glad he is back and running like the AP of old, but I see us doing really well with Morris as our featured back.

Thirtyfive2seven Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 No. Better value w/ Morris's cheaper contract--4 years 2.2M vs. 4 years 20M. Next question. well that wasn't part of the question but if you throw that in there too, I agree! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WheresRickySanders83 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Technically, it is part of the question, since you have to consider salaries when trading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prototype Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Adrian Peterson, Marshawn Lynch, and Arian Foster are the only ones I'd trade him for, and they all are coincidentally the only ones ahead of him in terms of rushing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMUSkins Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 AP or Arian Foster would be no-brainers. I'd like to see how Trent develops, though he does look damn good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderDOOM Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Not for the money but yeah.....on this team Trent threatens 2000. Yall better watch more SEC. Trent was better than Ingram the minute he stepped on campus at Bama and he probably takes a few of those long Morris runs to the house. And he can work a screen. Morris is beastly and I love his style but Trent is a very talented young man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKINSFAN87 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 trent richardson has had injury problems where alfred has not, trent is probably the better running back, but I would keep alfred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 trent richardson has had injury problems where alfred has not, trent is probably the better running back, but I would keep alfred. This team has chosen high potential guys over high production guys throughout all its losing seasons. Give me the high production guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afkidd Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 no, only because this is 2012, not 1983. you don't build around RBs anymore, so spending 20 mil over 4 years makes no sense. RBs are a dime a dozen...better to use that money in other spots, like safety for instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COWBOY-KILLA- Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Gotta go Trich here. Talent trumps almost everything, and Richardson has more of it. Love me some Morris but I'd go with 33. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
