Re: Dealing with QB hoarders

The denying the Wallace for Brady trade isn't what makes it hoarding. What makes it hoarding is that he has 5 starting QBs and is demanding Julio Jones for Kaepernick or Demayrius Thomas for Brady. When you have 5 QBs in a 1 QB league and the only way you will give one up is by demanding a ridiculo...

Re: Dealing with QB hoarders

Did you miss the part where his asking price for Tom Brady is Demayrius Thomas and his asking price for Kaepernick is Julio Jones? This does not matter. I think you are trying to justify why he should sell what you want at the price you want to buy it for. With 50 man rosters I do not think he is h...

Re: Dealing with QB hoarders

I would not deal with him. First I would pick up Fitzmagic, then I would look at the Alex Smith owner and try to get a good deal.

EDIT: BTW I like Bortles. Look for Mettenberger as well if you have the room and hope for a trade. I would consider the same strategy with the Sanchize as well.

Re: Jimmy graham dissapears

But Jimmy>>>>>>>>>>>Gronk How can this be???????? I'm not going to lie, I bumped Gronk down to #3, but watching him play fully healthy, that guy is just a monster. When fully healthy, I think Gronk is better than Graham. The issue of course is health, but Graham seems to get banged up a lot too the...

Re: Will RGIII turn it around? ever?

I expect RGIII to become a Buffalo Bill as soon as the new league year strikes midnight. They don't have a 1st round pick and don't have a quarterback and it just seems like something they'd do. Now if Washington holds on to his rights and puts him up for trade...Trent Baalke will absolutely come c...

Re: Will RGIII turn it around? ever?

For those comparing him to Vick to make the case that his career is over, did you forget that Vick's 2010-2011 season swung more fantasy championships than any player in the past 5 years other than maybe Adrian Peterson's 2012? Yeah, he's definitely done in Washington, and yeah, he's certainly a di...

Re: Duron Carter

Here's my argument: 1. If it's reasonable for an owner to think that adding a player is not allowed, then the league should not allow others to add that player without first clarifying that it's a permissible transaction. Here is my response: I think it is reasonable for people to think something b...

Re: Duron Carter

You're presuming a definition of "eligible player" that isn't in the bylaws. You truly can't imagine that an owner wouldn't realize he can add a player who isn't available on MFL? I can imagine an owner wouldn't realize that but that does not mean the player in not eligible. People often ...

I bet they have a list of who cannot be signed, not who can be signed.

Re: Duron Carter

1. If you have to ask the commissioner to change something for you, I don't see how that's the default. 2. Your condescension is unbecoming. Jules, does the NFL have a complete list of eligible players that teams are allowed to sign? If a team signs a player and the league has to fill out paperwork...

There are over 6 Billion people in this world. There is no single database that contains them all. 2. Yo...

Re: Duron Carter

Isn't the issue that he is currently ineligible to sign an NFL contract because he of his CFL contract? I remember hearing that at some point but please correct me if I am wrong. Why should we be able to pick up a play who is currently ineligible to sign a contract? I found an article that says he ...

Re: Duron Carter

No, and I didn't argue you shouldn't be able to. But I can tell you why you shouldn't be able to acquire a player that's not in the league system unless that issue is addressed in the bylaws. Here . You are assuming the system default is that you cannot pick up players in the system. I do not accep...

Re: Duron Carter

I think you're overestimating the general acceptance of this practice. I play in leagues where it's allowed, and I play in others where you have to wait until the player is added to the system. As a general rule, if a situation is not addressed in the bylaws, the better practice is to go with the s...
