New York Mick Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 6 minutes ago, Lith said: But on the other hand, aside from the first few years of his career, he was never much more than a 200 carry back. If I am building an all time team, I want a guy who carries the ball 20-25 times a game. Over the last 10 years of his career, he never averaged more than 15 carries a game. I’ll also have a FB carrying the ball and Allen is one of the best receiving RB so he’s a dual threat with Montana as a QB. He was also good at picking up the blitz.

Fair enough. All depends on how you are building your team -- he makes a lot of sense if you plan to pick two backs; and there are still some really good backs on the board to pair with him.

I'm gambling on my guy being there at the end. My defense is becoming the stuff of legends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played 5 more years than Holt, yet only has 100 more catches and 1800 more yards And it's not impressive that Bruce was catching 7 TD's with the Niners at the age of 36? I think longevity and durability are underrated characteristics. Holt was toast by 32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is he going to survive back there when his linemen aren't given carte blanche to hold defenders whenever they feel like it? Deacon Jones is coming for ya, Tom.

Paradis Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Lordy, looking at these teams... gonna be interesting come voting. Lith -- we don't want to drag out voting for 2 months... I think we should have 2 matches (24hr window) a day. take 1.5 weeks to get through round 1, but after that, we'll fly through the voting in about 1 week or so after.

That should line up us to wrap up around the Jets first preseason game. Must be that Canadian math. We still need to figure out how to handle the odd # of teams. We can either: - pass through 11 winners and highest ranked "loser" to get us to 12. Then when we get down to 6, give bye to two highest seeded teams (cumulative % of votes), or - pass through 11 winners and 5 wild cards to get to a 16 team bracket.

Give the teams a chance who lost in tough, close matchups. Since we don't know who will be viewed as the best teams yet, there's a chance the top team will get paired with the 2nd best team in the first round, or 3 vs 4, etc and we'll want to give those teams a chance in later round(s). I know it'll be slower, given that we're only eliminating 6 teams in round 1, but I think its the fairest setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would rather do a 5 team wild card adjustment, get down to 16 and then do a standard bracket the rest of the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
