Fantasy time - if you could add one current player to the Skins, who would it be?

Forget the real world and salary caps and sit back in dream land - who from around the league would you most like to see in a Skins uniform?

Dwight Freeney...enough said.

someone,anyone,who can rush the passer.dont care who it is

Freeney would probably be the sensible choice and make the most impact but what about Payton Manning? Or Michael Vick maybe, just the get the pulse racing?

Peyton is awesome, no doubt. But with only 1 good receiver he could possibly struggle. Vick is overrated. I might get blasted for that one. Vick is a good player, I just dont see where is worth all the hype. He is explosive, great arm, not very accurate and I would like to see how good Atlanta would be with out the great running game they have.

My choice for a fantasy player would be........Steve Smith. With him and Moss, WOW, that would be nice. Who gets doubled? if they put safety help on both, Portis would go nuts, and Cooley would turn into the best TE or H-back in history!!

I'm not sure if Manning is good because he's surrounded by other amazing players, or if the other players are good because they have Manning. From watching almost all the Colts games this season, I'm leaning toward the former.

Manning is playing at a level that is beyond anything I've ever seen or heard about. He basically runs that offense himself. His audibles are almost always perfect, he manages that team and directs the plays like nobody else in the league. I think the guy is playing football on a mental level that is in another universe compared to any other QB.

It's the little things he does - the constant hurry-up offense wears the defense out, and he gets 1-2 "12 men on the field" penalties on the other team per game because he's so alert and catches them off guard. Defenses get run ragged and can't even substitute.

And that's just his managing - take a look at his arm. His throws are just phenominal. Yeah, you can argue that he has all day with that offensive line giving him protection, but I think that's due in large part to the fact that opposing defenses are terrified to blitz him. He goads the defense into showing him their blitz early, audibles to the perfect counter-play (and does it perfectly, it seems, 90% of the time) and then makes them pay for the blitz.

Is manning helped by the likes of Harrison, James, Clark, Wayne and an incredible defense? Absolutely. But I firmly believe Manning is the key ingredient in that system that makes the team what it is.

Call me crazy, but I'd trade any player on this 'Skins team, heck I'd trade any 10 players on this team for Manning. His dedication and intelligence is contageous and I think he has an amazing ability to make those around him great players. Trade anyone or any group of guys for him and build a new team around his talent. Unfortunately that'll never happen, and a guy like Manning only comes along once in a lifetime.

But hey, this is a fantasy thread and I can dream. While I'm dreaming, might as well talk about this dream I have about Carmen Electra and Denise Richards...

Why stop w/Freeney....how about Lawrence Taylor!!

I like the kid Jared Allen from KC personally.

skindogger47 · 12-06-2005, 11:14 AM

One more Freeney vote here. Or maybe Ed Reed if healthy. Id love to see him and Taylor back there. Or Randy to go along with Santana, the Super Moss Bros. No Freeney, definately Freeney.

jhold4th · 12-06-2005, 03:51 PM

Shawn Merriman or Hines Ward.

I like shawn bucause he is from the UMD but Hines? He is a good blocker and all but of any player in the entire league?

by the way merriman is a B.E.A.S.T

I wouldn't mind the guy we're facing this weekend...Larry Fitzgerald. I also like Rod Coleman

Big C · 12-06-2005, 11:22 AM

I'd actually go with Peyton. We would win every game, all the time.
