timdaley73 Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Not sure if someone already did this... But, there were a lot of discussions here a long time ago that losing Champ was worse than getting CP... Let's go by the numbers... CB: 1 catch for 11 yards; 1 Int; 2 Solo tackles and 4 Assisted tackles... CP: 29 carries for 148 yards, 1 TD; 4 catches for 15 yards... Hmm... Who would you rather have? I think our Defense has more than recooperated for CB loss... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignatius J. Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 When you think about it, we each got the better end of the deal. Denver is going to use bailey on offense, they needed him on D, and they won't miss portis because of thier amazing scheme. We needed a real runningback desperately, and we got one. Unless one or the other tanks, it should work out well for both teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 The Bronco defense looked pretty good against one of the top offenses in the league, and Bailey had a good night. It is possible both teams got a good deal. I'm happy with Portis and that's all I care about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nace14 Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 i was gettting so pissed at those commentators last night. it is not a question of the head to head comparison out there. if you are going to evaluate this trade you have to say this: would you rather have smoot, bailey, bowen, iffy, and betts for only one year or smoot, springs, bowen, taylor, and portis with restructured contracts for 4ish. there is a huge reason why i included iffy in the first grouping and taylor in the second, and that is b/c if we had kept bailey then our offensive concerns would have won over and we would have drafted the cancer, but because we addressed our offensive concerns with CP we were able to get the Defensive help we needed. now looking at those two choices to have, over several years (and yes we will resign smoot) i think that it is a no brainer. also, if you flipped it for denver, the trade was also a no brainer. fact of the matter is that both teams improved their needs and their talent by the trade. that having been said, when comparing the stats also throw in the 15 yard celebration penalty to bailey and the 0 penalty yards to CP.

Neophyte Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 I think both teams made out very well. I do wish we had that 2nd round pick back but hey, those are the breaks and I did not see Tatum Bell doing a whole last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
National Defense Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 yeah, but its too early to tell on bell. both teams are better off than if the stars were holding out, let move on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
