ahahaha... I get it :D

R.I.P. to the greatest fantasy team ever known. I think what you did was in the best interest of the league as a whole, and I commend you for that. I'm sure it was a whole lot of fun being the juggernaut but take it from a guy who's rebuilt from scraps, the climb is pretty awesome too. My sig. team started with Cutler, Forte (I drafted him as a rookie, he was the only starting rb I had on my roster), and Colston. It's been a heck of a ride, but there is still work to do.. Right now I'm 1-4 :(

This was a great thing to do in the interest of keeping the league together. Hopefully the teams that didn't participate in the supp draft understand that.

You know this brings up a very interesting question......are keeper leagues better than dynasty leagues?

I ask this because it seems like by nature keeper leagues have more checks and balances built into the system to prevent huge disparities from happening long term within the league. What do you guys think?

There is a difference between argument, and dogmatic assertion. Argument leaves room for change, and improvement, dogma only leaves room for acceptance.

If by better you mean provide more parity than yes, but if by better you mean rewards intelligence than no, I like dynasty precisely because I live and die by my own decisions (cutting Arian Foster, drafting Cam Newton)

If I owned one of the other teams, I certainly wouldn´t have taken the gift. Either I try to work myself up in the league(everybody should treat it like this) or I´d step away from it, if the majority of the owners would do the same.
24 roster spots - 1QB,2RB,3WR,1TE,1Flex

QB: Herbert,Minshew
RB: Breece,Walker,Taylor,BRobinson,Allgeier,Spiller
WR:Jefferson,Lamb,DJMoore,QJohnston,Jameson,MMims, T.Marshall,Shakir,Gallup
TE: Andrews,Conklin
DST:DAL
2024 picks: 1.11, 2.10, 4.01, 4.05, 4.07, 4.11

wow very classy move of you, not sure I would have done that.

we used to have an owner like that but over the years people have become wary of trading with him so his team as just sort of aged and become less dominant. he's still a top team maybe even the best team but it isnt unfair anymore. also P.manning being out has really hurt him
QB - DWatson(HOU)Minshew(JAX)Darnold(NYJ)
RB -NChubb(CLE)DHenry(TEN)JTaylor(IND)Gurley(ATL)
WR -DHopkins(ARI)ACooper(DAL)CGodwin(TB)OBJ(CLE)
TE - HHenry(SD)DGoeddart(PHI)
K - Zurlien(LAR)Crosby(GB)
Def - ARI DAL
[rookie] Haskins(WAS)DSwift(DET)Jefferson(MIN)MHardman(KC)
7th pick in 2021

Rosters must always be 3qbs 4wrs 4rbs 2tes 2kickers 2dst and protected players don't take up a roster spot, but are only for rookie/2nd-year players that were drafted
