Landry for Rhodes?

diehardskin2982 · 01-26-2010, 04:15 PM

No way!!! IMO Landry has not reached his top as a player and can be better in the right defense. I would like to see how he does in the new system and hopefully in the right position (strong safety).

I would like for us to sign Anthony Bethea or Ryan Clark, if either of the two hit the free agent market. Until Laron plays SS, the position for which he was drafted it is not smart to trade him. It's like the example of Antrel Rolle for the Cardinals, not until he was switched to FS did he start to make an impact. He was a bust at CB, star at safety.

Why bother with a trade? There is a strong chance that the Jets will cut Rhodes. Then we could sign him, if we wanted, and not give up anything.

Bingo.

A) Is Horton going to be our starter next year at FS or LaRon?
B) Is Rhodes a better FS than LL?
C) If A & B are true, than lets trade Laron for him and a few picks
D) It's prefectly fine if we don't do C) because we have LARGER needs at other positions, safety we have depth, especially at SS

What few picks are you thinking of? this isn't madden. That would be a straight up deal, no way in hell do we get multiple picks out of it.

like a 5th and/or a 7th...or just a 3rd...Laron has potential and is a former first rounder. Rhodes is a 4th rounder I believe, and his potential is pretty much reached

Who's played more like a 1st rounder? Where a player was drafted should not/does not have anything to do with their value once they've played for a few years. After that, they are what they are... Landry's about a 4th rd pick for all the big plays we've gotten out of him. And that's as a matador, 5th as a safety.

horton at FS? I don't think so lol

Landry hasn't endeared himself to us, that's for sure. His lowlights have not been followed by highlights much the last couple years. He should be on the verge of maturing though, you'd have to if you keep seeing film of yourself getting burnt, committing dumb penalties, etc. So I would say no to such a trade unless they gave up more.

On the subject of safeties, I've noticed that a few here have said it is a position of need. I'm surprised at that. I think it's one of the deepeset positions on the team. I think Kareem Moore has looked good & will earn more pt next year, plus Horton & Doughty at SS. The rook Holmes might be able to stick around too.

I'm amazed this thread got to this point without someone pointing this out, and ridiculing all those involved in a serious discussion over a possible Landry - Rhodes trade.
