Let's put it this way. Even with Dilfer passing all night long, every game, because he has to get his team out of a hole, he probably won't score half as many points as McNabb does over the season.

There is NO possibility whatsoever that he will score more points than McNabb, barring a season ending injury.

check your stuff! who has mcnabb who has dilfer? what now...

The Pennington for Alexander trade actually is that moronic at all. You can't base Chad on one bad game (his first since major shoulder surgery), I believe they will have a close amount of points by the end of the year.

However, Donovan McNabb for Trent Dilfer has to be one of the worst trades I have actually seen accepted in my 5 years of any fantasy sport. You want to trade the reining NFC champion QB for a guy who's team is on the clock for the first pick in the draft. I'm not trying to sound like a jerk, but there is no way that trade should be accepted.

Alexander's fantasy value is far, far greater than Pennington's. QB's naturally score more points, but there's more quality QB's available, so the points scored by the top RB's are much more valuable. Alexander is the second best RB in the league. Pennington isn't even a second tier fantasy QB. I wouldn't take him as my backup.

Last year (Yeah, Pennington was injured,but he put up numbers comparable to his career averages) Pennington was the 21st best fantasy QB. Guys like Brian Griese scored more points than him (didn't play a whole season either), Joey Harrington, David Carr, etc.

Shaun Alexander was the #2 RB, with only 3 points less than Tiki Barber.

Which one is more valuable?

Ok, so I reversed who was getting who.

Either way, it's still the worst trade in the history of fantasy football
