Thanks anakin. We'll be working on content here soon. For most of our stuff that's not dynasty, the content will start flowing after the NFL Draft. That's our schedule every year. Thanks and let's have a great 2017.
Can you lay out exactly what you're trying to do with exactly what feature? Most all the cloud synchronization is not in operation yet. But maybe we're not understanding what you're trying to do. Please lay out exactly what you're trying to do here and Keith and Simon can take a look. Thanks.
Thanks. I understand now. MyFBG is not in operation yet and will be available late June. We apologize for it not being ready now but as we've talked about here, we have a new system in place to replace the system we had last year that had trouble spots for folks. For the future, the goal is for MyFBG to be available year round to handle things like you're talking about here.
Hi Msudaisy,msudaisy26 said:
We just don't feel confident the rankings would have any value before we know the situation they're going into. This is how we've always done our Rookie Rankings and it's the only way we feel confident enough in the content we're putting out.
We all know the accuracy of the rookie rankings will improve after the situation for each rookie is known.
Keep pushing this, I feel most rankings are crap. Rookie rankings before they get any training camp reps are complete crap.
So make rankings based on talent, and combine testing. A lot of people draft based on talent over situation. There are also some leagues that draft their rookies before the NFL draft and there are lots of start ups/MFL10's/FFPC leagues that are already drafting.
Respectfully, I disagree. If you have guys that are analyzing these rookies now and putting out rankings then we get to see what they are ranked at using talent alone. Of course, situation will change those rankings after the draft but there's plenty of value in putting out rankings after the combine.
And add to that....your competing web sites have rookie rankings, so if you want to be a player in the dynasty game, you need rookie rankings BEFORE the NFL draft.
That's what dynasty is all about - making a first swag at them based on talent and adjusting for actual landing spot. Anyone that gives one single flip about rookie rankings in March does so because they are in a dynasty league, and know how subject they are to change. If you are going to make a commitment to providing dynasty content, it starts right here. Otherwise this is just 5 pages of noise.
Thanks Guys. And for sure, there will be things we disagree on. Joey asked early on what our position was on Dynasty for this coming year and I answered,
That hasn't changed. I understand we may disagree there and there will surely be more things where we have folks disagree. And we'll take a look at this for you.
Thanks steeler. I'm not sure of Cecil and Sig's plan there and I'll ask them. I agree they do a fantastic job with that.
Thanks. Something like that might be feasible. It's completely separate from their dynasty value in a 2017 league but it more of an NFL Draft value. We'll take a look there.
It's not set in stone Steeler, but Sigmund is hoping to be able to host a show on the Youtbube channel Thursday and Friday night.
Agreed. I think our Bloom's Pre Draft Top 100 is our best offering there . That's a ton of time and effort and exceptionally good.
Just heard back from Sig and it's a go. Sig and our Matt Waldman will be broadcasting and also bringing on guest from the draft community.
I think most dynasty people, and those of us here asking for it, don't believe those are mutually exclusive. There is very strong correlation between NFL draft spot and dynasty value. Guys just don't draft Noah Brown at 1.04 if he's a 6th round talent. If Dalvin Cook is a stud RB that the NFL is going to draft early, he's going to be a top dynasty asset. If you're expecting us to demand much more than this pre-draft, you can rest assured we won't. Post-draft will be a much bigger opportunity to analyze scheme fit, depth chart and snap count opportunities, QB/WR relationship, etc. But pre-draft pretty much all we (I, anyway) want is:
Thanks. I hear you. We'll hit on a ton all that in much better detail than just a ranking can give like with Bloom's Top 100 here soon. And I'm working on getting something from our Matt Waldman on this who is the best Draft Guy I know.
That's a great article but A - it's out pretty late. Even a slimmed down rankings-only version of that coming in March would go a long way; B - It's called his top 100 but I can only find the 1-25 and 26-50 articles.
Cool. We will consider that for next season. Not sure what we can do but we'll look. For Bloom's article, he did the first 25 and then 26-100 in another article that followed. http://subscribers.footballguys.com/apps/article.php?article=bloom1002016pd_26-100
Can this be converted to a podcast form in the FBG feed so it can be heard on the go?
now THAT'S the customer service we expect from this great site. I've been a subscriber forever and with you since the cheatsheet.net days, so thanks so much for this Joe and the whole team!
Looks very nice - the RB one in particular.
