Red Mosquito

I have no idea how to play this game. I'm going to get destroyed.

Your roster looks pretty good. I dunno, like I said, it reminds me of my White Sox team, where the franchise was just around long enough to be competitive despite really only having a few great seasons.

Aw huh

None of this will matter when Mecca rides his backfield of O.J. Simpson and Thurman Thomas to a championship.

Fucking OJ, man.

I basically know what I'm going to do roster-wise, I'll post it tomorrow.

You're just loading the entire 2007 team in, aren't you?

Seriously, the 49ers and Steelers not being part of this is a travesty.

That will basically be the starting lineup.

49ers might not be that intriguing since they had only one really long streak of greatness. Steelers would be a lot of fun, though.

It lasted for two decades; plenty to choose from and the game changed plenty over that time.

So what's the point of having 3 QBs on the roster and so many damn skill position players? I felt bad being forced to put in 2005 Jake Plummer while not being given a chance to add so many awesome defensive players.

Oh sure, but there's enough crossover with guys like Jerry Rice that I wouldn't find it as interesting as, say, Bradshaw to Ward or Big Ben to Stallworth.

short answer: heh, you'll see.

long answer: whatif will drive you crazy; guys like 2013 peyton manning may absolutely suck for no reason, so you might be happy to have a couple options to turn to.

Does WhatIf account for scheme fits? I also dislike that I only get one O-line: the line best for Elway and the line best for Manning are quite different.

Oh my expectations are not high at all, just trying to understand how things work.

I found the best way to ignore the flaws of whatif is to create a usable and fun spreadsheet for the league to use. You should try that.
