So I've thought some, and I'd like to amend a previous statement. Before, I said I'd want a season's heads up for any cap changes. Well, I think that sounds pretty unfeasible, because that would mean you'd have to say what next year's cap is while this year's season hasn't started yet. IRL they announce the cap before the offseason starts, I think that's how I'd want it done if there were any changes, that way KCF can surmise if there needs to be any tinkering with it by actually being able to see the figures in front of him, rather than guessing for the next year.

So I'd be fine with changes, as long as they're done before the offseason officially begins. And I mean, i'm not "vehemently" opposed to changing it midseason, I won't gripe if you and other users deem it the correct course of action, it's just a consistency thing with me.

I would personally be in favor of not doing any increases unless we have a season's heads up. There's too much chance of people doing things accounting for a certain number, and if it's increased on a whim, it may have been for nothing. Especially mid-offseason. I mean I know we've just done RFA and that's it, but even that could have ramifications.

I don't think the AI situation is out of control yet, just because an AI team is the best in the league doesn't necessarily mean it's going to stay that way. That's another reason I'm willing to wait until next season, if let's say, the broncos clean house again, then yeah, I think we should be worried. But as of now, what, AI teams have 1 SB win? I think we should see if it's a trend before taking any action.

I don't know how feasible the dead money forgiveness thing is. Not only would that make a lot of extra work for KCF having to keep track of it (since that's a mechanic that's baked in to the game, he would have to keep track of it entirely of his own accord), but it also kind of changes the mechanics of how the league operates. You're supposed to be punished for letting guys go early, that removes that drawback, as you mentioned.

Tl;dr I think we should wait at least a season before implementing any changes.

I also enjoy having to make those choices, but we also don't want to have the gap between what we and the AI are capable of so that we start getting blown out every year imo.

That said, I don't think we're there right now. It was merely food for thought going forward.
---

I'm a greener egg than the eggs from dr. seuss

Well iirc the actual cap ingame goes up as well right? Like if we were playing by the same rules as the AI then our cap space would scale with ever-increasing contracts. But it stays the same because in years past, people were having too easy a time with it. If I'm right on that, perhaps we should take a look next year at starting to increase the cap again? Like maybe not to the level the ai has it but like, by the same amount. That would still keep us lower than the AI while keeping us on the same pace.

But maybe I'm wrong.

Perhaps it goes off of what other people are paying their players of the same position and value?

I am kinda curious as to what plan was ruined by KCF losing Abdul-Quddus in RFA

Probably just was looking forward to being able to sign him at a tender instead of a full contract for a year, since he's hurting for cap space. I have to imagine he was planning for his 2 guards to get offers and not signing them, but he probably was hoping he'd sneak by with quddus (how do you pronounce this anyway? Cuddus?) Also since his other SS is up for a new contract, he probably doesn't want to sign 2 starting SS's to that kind of money.

The Panthers own the 11th and 17th overall picks and are interested in trading back to acquire multiple 1st rounders if possible. Not super interested in packaging players but if you're intrigued by something feel free to send a request anyway and we can talk it over!

Rules:
Picks must be in before that game's kick-off. You may, for instance, pick the 1 PM games then come back in another post and pick the rest, but I prefer that when doing so you quote your previous post so it becomes easier for me to keep everything together. All times listed are ET.

You may change picks at any time as long as it's before that game's kick-off, see above rule.

Not really a rule, but please do try to keep your picks in order with how I've posted them, as it also makes it easier on me to plug the picks in. Thank you for your consideration.

If someone has missed 4 consecutive weeks, I am removing them from the roster.

It was an utter massacre last week, several heavy favorites won and more than half the roster got 8 wins or fewer. Our top performer this week though was @meche313 who posted an 11-3 week!

The upset of the week, well we had several: 3 people picked Dallas, 3 picked Cleveland, 3 picked Buffalo. But the upset of the week goes to @guffguy89 who was the only one to correctly pick Tennessee!

Thursday, November 15
Green Bay Packers @ Seattle Seahawks

Sunday, November 18
Dallas Cowboys @ Atlanta Falcons
Carolina Panthers @ Detroit Lions
Tennessee Titans @ Indianapolis Colts
Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ New York Giants
Houston Texans @ Washington Redskins
Pittsburgh Steelers @ Jacksonville Jaguars
Cincinnati Bengals @ Baltimore Ravens
Oakland Raiders @ Arizona Cardinals (oh boy)
Denver Broncos @ Los Angeles Chargers
Philadelphia Eagles @ New Orleans Saints
Minnesota Vikings @ Chicago Bears

Pam's biggest flaw is her ambition imo.

Despite the fact that it involved poaching clients from her former coworkers, including Jim.

Phyllis is very much a "wolf in sheeps clothing" kind of person imo. Oscar isn't a bad person he just is kind of condescending, which I mean, everyone has their faults.

Michael imo is just a big manchild who just really wants friends and nothing more. The things he does are because he just doesn't know any better, or he doesn't know how to cope with his emotions, rather than him just being mean-spirited like uh, what's-his-face, his friend who only shows up for a couple of episodes. How he treats Toby is like exhibit A of this. He doesn't hate toby so much as a person, but rather he hates the position that toby represents, that the position is there to make sure he doesn't make his workplace fun (in his mind), and sure enough, once Holly Flax takes over for toby, Michael initially shows her the same hostility he showed toby. But the various times where he exhibits genuine, heartfelt advice to someone who's down shows that he really does care about others. That childlike innocence is both his greatest asset (easily related to others when he was a salesmen) and his greatest weakness (is easily taken advantage of, treats certain people badly). He's definitely not fit for a management position, but that doesn't make him an asshole.
