RB's

Post by bilyeuofbaxter »

We have 72 running backs on our rosters! That means we have at least 8 third string running backs. Maybe time to think about position limits? :hump:

Maybe if you didn't draft the likes of Cedric Benson and pass on Adrian Peterson your RB position would look a little brighter :bash:

We always use the defense that we want to make this as"real" to the actual game that we can. As a GM or owner of a team, we should be able to have as many at any position as we want. If someone wants 5 RB's then so be it. No one tells Jon Gruden on his real life Tampa Bay Bucs team that he cant have every QB out there. Hell he still has the rights to Plummer who is retired!!

It is also not like 50 RBs will be frozen! Learn to draft some backup RBs with potential or the ones playing behind injury-prone guys :wink:

The NFL doesn't cut the rosters down to 7 players before the draft. This is a situation unique to dynasty fantasy leagues. I don't think anyone is proposing position limits during the regular season.
The rules are fair. The regulations are fair.

Hey fantasy nerds, this isn't real football, you are not an NFL coach and I don't really care if I win or lose. I'm just saying, if you don't think something is wrong with a league with 12 teams owning 72 running backs, then your team is probably one of the better one's or you're dumb. Gotta go study the 3-4. :wave1:

The "real" NFL also has revenue sharing. I want my share, give me some money! Wealth redistribution...................... sounds like a vote for Obama for MTFFL commissioner.

Since we've known the importance of RBs for years maybe you should try a different draft strategy! Your team can't be worse than last season :P
If you don't care about winning or losing why play?
