Thanks WH & OT, based on what the MFN auto mgr did to the Browns roster in the last EOS and Early FA, I didnt think the Browns would even come close this season after being in the previous two champ games. Half the secondary was gone. For more detail you can read the Auto Manager is Horrible! thread. ha! I can laugh now, but it was not funny then.
Two key additions to the defense were the difference makers, 2.21 pick WLB Tagg and CB2 Parenteau traded from Miami. Even with those additions, I still felt pretty vulnerable on defense, but, I guess the sim was with us. It also substantiates my view that roster is only half the equation for winning.
Last time I won the Paydirt LC was way back in the 1980 season with the Packers, and I didnt think they had a good chance either. Offensive Taco's Cowboys were 11-5 division winners that season. Several names of longtime successful players in a fully owned league in that 1980 season that are no longer playing brought back memories. Paydirt was always full and had waiting list in those years.
Yes, the good old days of pay dirt where there was no vacancy all the time and original owners stayed put, especially in the AFC West, the Packers were always there. However, they might not have the overall numbers to show their dominance. They were always kind of like in your face well-managed ball club by yours truly GDB.
I sure miss those days, for those of you new owners who don’t know much about GDB and how he evaluate players, rankings and potential they are extremely interesting way of his evaluation process, in fact, I think you ought to open up a prospect evaluation talent course for schooling academic purposes taught by professor GDB
