Califan007 The Constipated Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Originally posted by jrfriedm He's still a good to very good player at a position where the Broncos were destitute. And what Trung was something special? Thank you!! Good lord, the analytical skills of some of these "experts" is ridiculous...not to mention that Bailey has now been downgraded from "elite shutdown corner" to "good to very good player" who has had his effectiveness "quasi-neutered" by a rules change... For me, I would answer the question by asking another one: Which team improved the most at the position they aquired in the trade, and lost the least at the position they gave up??

cphil006 Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Yea, throw in Springs, because we used the cap money we saved by kicking Bailey out on Springs and Portis... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wskin44 Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Would Denver have been a better team with Portis and Springs? Absolutely. Would Washington have been a better team with Bell and Bailey? No. Anyone who says different is out of their minds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope someone with a biased opinion doesn't reply... Springs would've done nothing substantial to make that defense any better. Portis would've had a better season behind their OL though. They should would've been punked by the Colts and sent home in the wildcard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wskin44 Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 The difference is Portis. Bailey and Springs might be a wash but Portis was a monster in the Denver O. Denver could have had Springs for a lot less than the paid Bailey. Heck maybe they could have had enough left over to buy a second CB. They only fielded one against the Colts. Denver screwed up.

Leonard Washington Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Originally posted by Oldskool I still think we got hosed by having to give up a 2nd round pick in that swap. I agree. So far no one has gotte the better deal. Denver didn't go any further in the playoffs and we still suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeHateMe Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Originally posted by Oldskool I still think we got hosed by having to give up a 2nd round pick in that swap. I'll second that. I thought the 2nd was too high a price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Denver thought Bailey was the final piece the puzzle to advance in the AFC in 2004, instead they finished behind the Chargers and gave up even more points to Indy in the wildcard game in 2005 than they did last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
