No, I'm not singling anyone out at all. As I mentioned, this has been going in since the beginning of these leagues.Jared A wrote:I'm all for a lottery draft, especially if the NFL does it.
That said, I think you need to be careful on accusing people of purposely tanking. Purposely tanking, in my opinion, would be not starting the best player on your roster.
As I feel that this might be directed towards my season, let me point out. The Packers haven't made more than a couple draft picks in the past few years. I was always trading them away, knowing that one day, my all veteran team would need to be dumped. I did that last spring, simply because I couldn't compete. So, no young tallent, and trading all the veterans that had any value... ends up 0-16. I also, am not going to take the time to sign a bunch of guys to make my ratings a 3.7 instead of a 2.1 I just can't see that as worth the effort.
I know from a personal standpoint in all the leagues I've been a part of over the years, the plan has always been to win. I've had great teams, and some bad ones. In some of my leagues, we have now implemented a lottery system for this very reason.
It makes everyone continue to be competitive since you can't just get rid of everyone. We obviously see a lot more 0-16 teams than you'd ever see IRL, and I think that's a problem.
