Re: 2015 RULES: Free Agency (Anonymous Bidding)

The last second bids 99% of the time are nothing more than to drive the price of the guy up. I couldn't disagree more. I mean, sure, that's the point, but I never bid on a player unless I am willing to have him on my roster. I'll use last minute bids commonly though, either because I just freed tha...

Re: 2015 RULES: Suggested Topics

I disagree that the matching rights tend to lead to teams needing to match a bad contract. I think all it does is really make practice squads a roster extension. Say I have a roster spot available and want to add a promising potential player. If he is on someone's practice squad, I know there is no ...

Re: 2015 RULES: Add another LTC, Restructure

I'm really against adding more LTC's. I like the option, but it's already really diluting the FA market.

Re: 2015 RULES: Playoff Stats

If we move to averages only, can we still tracking injuries in playoffs to balance out?

Re: 2015 RULES: Free Agency (UDFA)

The best part of that article is that it even admits that no one knows why this stupid rules exists. I'm guessing it was snuck into the CBA by some teams annoyed about using SB's to lure UDFAs.

Re: 2015 RULES: Suggested Topics

I agree with Knighty Knight here. I usually give teams the benefit of the doubt and assume they don't realize what they are doing, but it could be more malicious. I constantly have issues where when I cut a player to the PS, he is claimed by another team and instantly cut to their PS. My own policy ...

Re: 2015 RULES: Suggested Topics

In follow up to my previous comments about the practice squad, should we just do away with it? This might be unpopular (I use the PS as fervently as anyone), but it might also be in the best interest of the game. Every time an issue arose last offseason, Troy reminded us that the PS is not meant as ...

Re: 2015 RULES: Suggested Topics

I agree with shark above about getting rights to a player you ask to have added. I completely understand the amount of work our commish puts in, but I always worry that a guy I ask to have added will draw more attention by the time he is added to the player pool. However, a lot of this game is desig...

Re: 2015 RULES: Suggested Topics

Oh, one other thing I'd like to see some fix to is teams using practice squad designations to essentially win a bidding war. I find it frustrating when a team ads a player to their practice squad immediately before placing a bid on him. I won't pretend I am a saint here, because I have done this in ...

Re: 2015 RULES: Suggested Topics

So, I was wrong about the team. I thought Moore managed more guys, but it is mainly him. But I disagree with you that it is awful. Here is an interesting article on the Madden ratings: http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/madden/# There is some interesting stuff in there that I think points to some o...
