This And also, again unless it’s obvious like Kamara for Sony Michel, then there are plenty of times where a player we don’t expect outproduces someone we would generally rely on. To impose a penalty would be assuming that we know the outcome of each persons decision, and that we preemptively know what’s best moving forward. We might think we know, but there are many times that we don’t. If you had a rule that forced someone to always start a player based on general expectations then you are detracting from the ability to implement individual judgment and strategy.PigeonBoys wrote: ↑Sat Nov 28, 2020 8:40 amThis is my thought too. I ran into this in my league where I noticed a loophole and took advantage, not against the rules so fix it and move forward. As I remember saying at the time you can’t fault me for playing by the rules, if others didn’t notice the loophole at all that’s their fault. Inevitably we made changes the next year to address the issue and moved forward. Long story short, competition in and of itself breeds creativity so when you have an owner that’s walking that fine line I think it’s important to communicate what options can solve the problem but to punish someone for following the rules isn’t a position you want to put yourself in, slippery slope.Hahaclintondix wrote: ↑Thu Nov 26, 2020 9:22 pm Seems like a long term win-win. He’s following the rules you set up. You can’t do anything right now.
If he wins the league, you can discuss how to tighten the rules so this isn’t a thing. If he loses, then karma kicked his butt and he deserves it.
Either way you can’t do anything now, but can fix it later.
McKissic, Booker, Duke Johnson, Gallman and Moss all out scored CEH in week 9....but based on logic an owner would be seen as “tanking” and penalized for benching CEH for any of those guys. Do you want to be the kind of league where someone could get penalized for potentially making a better decision than YOU anticipated? I think that’d be even worse.
