However, last season I had 4 starting QBs on my roster. If SD deals Brees, I could have 5 in 2005. If we had two teams, available QBs become tight, and if we added 4, there would be only 2 starting QBs per team, and if someone had a backup on their DS, and someone starter goes down, they are down to one. I've never been in a league that large, so I don't know how these shortages are handled other than either going with team QB, or just getting screwed, but I'm not a fan of either option. Team QB totally screws our rookie draft since QB prospects are taken off the board. Just getting screwed if you aren't properly covered sucks too, because it would suck to lose a QB, but get raked over the coals in FA bidding for Rodney Peete because the league knows you need him or you won't have any QB to play.
I also think bringing in new teams would be difficult to work out, unless the new teams agreed they would be in a building project for a couple of years until they could catch up. I wouldn't be a fan of drafting players off of other teams rosters just to get them talent.

I know I initially intorduced the idea of expanding a year or so ago, but in retrospect, I'm not so certain I'd be in favor of it.
We have a pretty special thing going in the Frenzy right now, and 12 teams seems to be the ideal size.
14 doesn't allow for even divisions, and 16 is too diluted IMO.
As of this moment, I concur with Brian, I'd prefer we stay at 12.
