[Trade] Give Roddy White / Get Cam Newton, Kenny Britt
This is for a keeper league. My QBs are Rivers and Schaub, so I'm hurting at the QB position. I'm stacked at WR (Victor Cruz, AJ Green, Demaryius Thomas, Roddy White, Dwayne Bowe, Torrey Smith, Randall Cobb), so this trade would trade an area of strength for an area of weakness and let me go younger as well (30 y/o for 23 and 24 y/o).
My question is whether Cam can turn it around, or is he the second coming of Vince Young?

Cam needs a supporting cast, and he needs Stewart to get going. Smith is good--and he's going to draw double coverage---because NO ONE is going to double cover Brandon LaFell (who's out this week). If Stewart can be a threat, Cam has a chance.
And yes. You should do this. There are too many great targets in ATL (Gonzo, Jones) for great games to go around. Everytime one blows up, the others suffer---and you never know who its going to be. Cam makes plays with his legs, and can make up for other misgivings. Britt is a hit-or-miss, but I think he has at least one or two really good games coming up--and he should have had a monster game last week.
Makes plenty of sense to me.
