I don't know about anyone else, but I'm kind of annoyed by Madden's releasing of player ratings for this current year. While they have released full skill-position ratings, those really don't affect us too much (only WR/TE ratings play any real importance, QB and RB rely much more on stats here). Th...

Happy birthday, Troy!

You and I are going to have to agree to disagree then. I completely disagree with you that depth is not important. If you have a bunch of A-rated players on your team that are backed up by a bunch of C-level guys (which I have seen), if one of your A-rated players goes down, you're screwed. Sure, yo...

Nothing that happens in reality is supposed to affect us (other than cap, injuries and performance). That's a pretty weak excuse, honestly. EVERYTHING that happens in reality affects us right now, other than monetary issues. - Where a player goes in the draft in real life directly (whether subconsc...

All this would do is make it more difficult to rebuild, and allow the good teams to keep all their players all the time. Basically, the free agent market would be decreased by the best 40 players every year. Charlie, If Ngata isn't worth more than 12.5mil, then either don't franchise him or don't e...

I've firmly believed for a few years now that we need to have a system for extensions. In these leagues, players on FA with upside tend to go for insanely high prices that they just don't go for on the open market. Building a team from the draft first is risky in these leagues, because you can't sig...

Unless I'm mistaken, touchbacks wouldn't affect average, so return average won't be affected, it will just have a smaller denominator (the number of returns counted in the average). Is there a way we can work in number of returns, if it will be minimal per game as it seems? Say Cribbs had 2 returns ...

Field position was my main concern as well. Return TDs are great when they happen, but we'll still have them with punts.

But starting at the 20 as opposed to between the 30-40 yard lines is a huge difference.

As I'm sure everyone knows, there is a huge difference in kickoffs this season, with the kick happening from the 35 yard line as opposed to the 30 yard line. If the article I'm reading is correct, only 100 total touchbacks happened last season. Through week 1 of the postseason (not counting last nig...

I actually really like this rule, despite being one of the GMs who would be on the hot seat for next season (though I think getting 1 win is hardly a stretch to imagine). Even if you make a mistake in drafting or trading (i.e. in a desperate reach for a starting QB, I drafted Jimmy Clausen #6 overal...
