Biggest Question is the Green Bay Packers super bowl champion the one to break thru and get a 2nd super bowl trophy in a row or do they end like Seattle Seahawks (1976 league champion and 1977 runner up ) and Washington Redskins ( 1970 league champion and 1971 runner up ) where they won the super bowl then lost the next one ??


btw rumor mill out of Green Bay Packers been said if they dont make it Cheeseheads ( PUN ) will roll because of it .

That's one thing I love about Paydirt. The parity of the league is amazing. While there may be a few well run teams always at the top, there's not a single team that is a guaranteed lock to win the championship every single year, although the Seahawks are pretty close.

On another note, I just noticed FS Speer was listed on the All Pro team... I get he had 6 total INT's but a 55% completion percentage allowed on 65 throws? Along with only 41 tackles and 16 missed...? Over my FS Howard at 3 INT's with 30% CPA on 65 throws? Cleveland's FS Goodwin with 4 INT's to go along with a 34.5% CPA on 96 throws? Dallas' FS Diaz with 2 INT's along with a 33.3% CPA on 69 throws? I mean sure, Speer was a ballhawk with those INT's but he also gave up quite a few completions along with some shaky tackling skills... For the SS pick too, I really think Warren(DAL), Hughes(CAR), or Shelton(NYG) were deserving.

Why some owners change the positions of players that are going to hit the Free Agency? To try to hide them? Example: https://paydirt.myfootballnow.com/player/3870

This should be punished...

It's possible that they could've been toying with the idea of making him a nickle back. I can see the allure there. He might be able to get into the mid 70's speed wise, with some weight loss. He has great accel and strength talent. And his M2M and zone skills are awesome. His B&R skill sucks hard so you couldn't put him out on the edge, but you could move him around to hide that.


Now that being said, I expect that everyone in this league holds themselves to a lil higher standard than in a Public league lets say. I don't think this was the case here but don't try moves that would seem shady. Such as purposely changing a players position to try and hide them as stated by Androwski above. Not kool and it could also hamper your fun in a league that most GM's are enjoying. So just don't do those kind of things. Over and Out.

In his player card you can see he was the #1 MLB in the Depth Chart...

Unfortunately, one never knows the extent to which another is willing to go to win. Not surprised by this in the slightest.
