SL changes

[Kareighuis]

We've had a series of discussions about changing the Starting Lineup. Some good ideas have been thrown out. They can be categorized into two groups- 1) altering the starting spots; 2) expanding the number of starting players.

Thoughts-
K- I think a simple, straight-forward move would be to make the RB2 spot a RB/WR flex.
Stomper- flex positions would appear to address the issue that changes don't negatively impact any owners
Red- If we are going to have so many players why not just add a rb/wr/te slot. (Aaa 2nds)
Instinct- if we're gonna change, may as well go to a W/R/T flex
Thrifty- a flex won't necessitate a 1yr gap in introduction (LS2 2nds)
Thrifty- if the goal of the lineup change is to make it more challenging, adding a starter probably does that more than morphing a starter (LS2 2nds)
LS2- I'd be up for changing 1 RB spot to a RB/WR/TE or one WR spot to RB/WR
Stomper- if changes aren't flex positions, changes would have to be phased in over a few years
Aaa- Personally I'd like to see us add 2 or 3 flex spots
LS2- with a flex, things don't really change
Red- I prefer to add one r/w/t this year and see how it works out

Current starting requirements- QB, 2RB, 3WR, TE, K, D
Proposed starting requirements- QB, RB, 3WR, TE, RB/WR, WR/TE, K, D

How is it different-
1) RB2 would be swapped out with RB/WR flex. Mimics decreased value of RBs in general in NFL in recent years.
2) W/T flex added. NFL is a passing game now, and teams are shifting to 2 TE sets to attack 3-4 defenses.

Thoughts?

I voted that the RB2 spot be changed to a flex and that the W/T flex be incorporated next year.

Add W/T flex. Start using now.


That was my vote, shows we could vote for two, there wasn't really another option I liked.

One option was listed twice, that confused me.

Yeah. Wanted to put everything in one poll. The first 4 poll options refer to proposal one-

1- RB2 would be swapped out with RB/WR flex.
A) Change RB2 to flex. Start using now.
B) Change RB2 to flex. Start using later. (When?)
C) Don't change lineup to use flex.
D) Change lineup, but different from 1st proposal.

The last 4 poll options refer to proposal two-

2- W/T flex added.
A) Add W/T flex. Start using now.
B) Add W/T flex. Start using later. (When?)
C) Don't change lineup to add W/T flex.
D) Change lineup, but different from 1st proposal.

I want to put add flex and use now, but I don't want to limit it to W/T.


No W/R/T option?

[aaawall91]
