Alright -- I need some trade advice.
Right now, the top offer for Vick is pretty much...
Michael Vick and DeSean Jackson/Jeremy Maclin for Anquan Boldin....
I'm actually hesitant on it because of how much of a deadly tandem Maclin/Jackson are together due to their speed.
What do you guys think?

Vick and Maclin for Boldin sounds pretty good, you would probably never play Vick and Maclin has speed but Boldin has hands and strength, tough but I like it, although if you like speed then why get rid of Vick and the young boys?

Vick is going regardless of what he's packaged with. I dislike him as a player (nothing to do with his dog fighting). Not to mention, I really struggle trying to play Madden with a left-handed quarterback. Wish I could figure out why, but it just baffles me.
I'd much rather trade him for premium value since he's obviously one of the biggest Madden threats you can have on a team than to keep him on my bench for nothing.
As for Boldin, he is a nice big possession receiver...but he isn't a burner. With two burners at the #1-#2 spots, it's hard to decide who to cover manually with a safety if both players go on streaks or deep routes, where as with Boldin on the field with Jackson/Maclin, it makes more sense to automatically put speed on one guy and a bigger DB on the other. Then again, Boldin has great press release, etc...
It's a really hard decision, though it probably shouldn't be.
I think my attachment to Maclin/Jackson makes it harder for myself as well, but I'd like to add a decent possession WR in this trade, because I want a good slot or #2 guy that is just going to hold onto the ball whether he's flipped or not.

If I was you I would ask for Boldin and another player cause you really have the leverage here with Vick, so make sure you get the best possible deal you can.

I think your last paragraph is what you really want, and thats Boldin, tough over the middle.

Yeah -- The problem is creating a trade that the league won't veto.
I also find it difficult to choose between Jackson or Maclin. I really like both receivers equally in Madden, so it makes it kind of hard for me to choose which one to part with.
I'm actually considering just trading Vick for a middle-of-the-road possession WR and that way I can keep Maclin/Jackson and have a strong Slot/#2 guy who works as my possession receiver. This also allows for my current offense to stay in tact while also introducing a key roleplaying WR that I can go to when it matters.
Keep Vick out of the NFC West.
Lol -- Why?

Problem with the Titans is they're very defensive oriented and my defense is pretty much set now with the trades for Suggs and Posluszny.
I'll give you Michael Vick (73) and Ray Rice (80) for Chris Johnson (88), but that's the best I can do probably.
It all really comes down to if you're willing to part with your biggest offensive weapon to gain an offensive weapon at QB and a semi-above average RB (that would still qualify as your starter) in return.

I don't really want him -- he just fits the mold that I'm looking for.
Marshall is a no no.
I'm aware ;)

Only because you've tried harder than anyone to trade for Vick and I won't let you have him, lmao.

Yea. Just got your pm so it's to late anyway. Though most people miss the fact that Young isn't rated that much lower then Vick.
So who wants young!

I'll trade you Brett Ratliff and CJ Mosley for Young lol
I'm thinking more like Fitz. It's funny how everyone was on Vicks nut sack. Maybe I need Dave to offer the trade for me.

Because a ton of starting LBs have Young speed... how many LBs/DEs have Vick speed?
it's 90 vs 85. Gezz you're not helping me out here!

Yeah, but in this year's Madden -- that's a huge difference in speed, lol.
You're not helping me out! You should be like OMG, OMG Young is the 2nd coming.

Yeah, but he's suicidal and scored like a 7 on his Wonderlic.
I'll give you Kevin Kolb for him.
