I just think, and I'm not sure anyone disagrees, that we could have created a situation where salaries were closer to true value now - instead of waiting a year or two for everything to shake out. I think it would have been more advantageous for the league to go that route. For instance we could have then had more ground to stand on when evaluating various rookie salaries, etc. next off-season. As it is now, we are going to have to wait at least 2 years before we make decisions regarding salaries.

I think top IDP prices are deflated, personally. But that is nothing more than a hunch based upon what I think is the growing value of TEs in the Frenzy.

Again let me be clear. I've known the game from the beginning - no whining here about not getting players. As far as I'm concerned, when a player crosses the price threshold I have he benefits me by hurting the acquiring team. I simply think it would have helped out the league if we took a few steps to bring salaries as close as possible to true market value in our inaugural draft.

This is all just idle chatter and no one is looking for a change (that I know of). I'm just voicing my opinion because it was brought up for discussion yesterday.

Well said, not sure I agree with everything, but you make some very good comments. One of the reasons I am going to enjoy playing in this league, the diversity here!! :rockon
