Blowing up a dynasty team (1 Viewer)

[mr roboto]

I don't play any 2 QB leagues but with the value at that spot it might make sense to sell off whatever you have to in order to build that position first and move out from there. Maybe start by looking at that stud RB in a deal for Luck?

That was my thought...plus there is a team with Stafford and he is not being used. You obviously have an eye for the WR/RB talent if that is what is getting you there and you should be able to get a QB1 in exchange for a couple of your better players...I would be curious to see though how your overall QB scoring compared to that of your opponents.

Good luck trying to buy Luck (or even Stafford for that matter) in a 2QB without giving up a QB a lot better than Schaub in return. Even something like Eli/Foster is a reject in a lot of 2QB leagues.

Yep. 2 QB with QB heavy scoring I'd be lucky to get Luck for Foster AND White plus something.

Start over. Do I pile draft picks? Trade for young guys in the league that are on the rise? Do like I do every year and find that 'missing piece'?

Did this in 2004-2006. Kept Andre Johnson as my only stud player. Moved Marvin Harrison for 2006 & 2007 1st Rd. picks. Jerry Porter for 2007 1st Rd pick (Calvin Johnson - total luck that I got the #1 pick that year as I was targeting Calvin back in 2005). Warrick Dunn for 2006 2nd Rd. pick (Brandon Marshall). Also grabbed Greg Jennings with an acquired 2nd Rd. pick that year. Drafted Matt Ryan with an acquired 2008 2nd Rd. pick.2004: 3-10

2005: 3-10

2006: 7-6

2007: 9-7. Lost championship game.

2008: 13-2 Won championship game.

If it actually works, it makes suffering thru losing seasons with no chance, worth it.

was it worth waiting 3 years to accomplish though?

Actually it was as I was looking at the longterm. 2004 and 2005 really sucked though, watching your guys do nothing wweek after week. But then in 2008, rolling over everyone made up for it. I already had 3 championships in the 90s and wantyed to see if I could actually blow a team up and rebuild from sctatch to a championship.

I'm in the middle of doing it myself and think it's worth it even after a painful 3-9 season. I see too many teams who try to hang around and make the playoffs while trading away their future to do it. If you've got a decent core there's no reason to blow it up but if you end up with a team of aging 2nd (or worse) tier players it's time for a drastic move if you want to compete for a championship. I would also take into account the relative strength of the teams in the league - having a few teams stacked with young studs you should really consider rebuilding from scratch. In a league with more parity there may not be a need to do it. The important thing is to take an honest look at your team and your chances without blowing it up.

<BR><BR>I'm in year 3 of my blow up, although it's taken me a bit longer to get rolling and I didn't sell out immediately, quite frankly I'm playing with guys who don't trade picks easily and put more time in than I do. <BR>After going taking 1st in the regular season back in 2009 I assessed that my team didn't have enough long-term talent. MJD was my only "core player".<BR>I made a few mistakes like trading Jordy Nelson and a few other young guys for picks, but learned a lot along the way. Now I sit with a group that includes Luck, Martin, Spiller, and a bunch of young WRs I like. I'm in last place again this year, but if those young WRs start performing I'll be in good shape. <BR><BR>Biggest mistakes I made were not going full rebuild quickly enough and being impatient with a few young guys who weren't performing yet. <BR>Current roster:<BR>QB: Luck, Bradford, Locker<BR>RB: Martin, Spiller<BR>WR: Brazill, Cooper, Garcon, Jeffery, LaFell, McCluster, Posey, Wright<BR>TE: Allen, Cameron, Clay, Keller, Kendricks, Myers<BR>PK: Walsh, Zuerlein<BR>D: Vikings, Lions<BR><BR>Clearly my QBs and RBs are strong but WR and TE need improvement. With 3 1sts this year I'm hopeful there are some WRs worth drafting. <BR><BR><TABLE class=report cellSpacing=1 align=center>

[wiscstlatlmia]

Start over. Do I pile draft picks? Trade for young guys in the league that are on the rise? Do like I do every year and find that 'missing piece'?

Did this in 2004-2006. Kept Andre Johnson as my only stud player. Moved Marvin Harrison for 2006 & 2007 1st Rd. picks. Jerry Porter for 2007 1st Rd pick (Calvin Johnson - total luck that I got the #1 pick that year as I was targeting Calvin back in 2005). Warrick Dunn for 2006 2nd Rd. pick (Brandon Marshall). Also grabbed Greg Jennings with an acquired 2nd Rd. pick that year. Drafted Matt Ryan with an acquired 2008 2nd Rd. pick.2004: 3-10

2005: 3-10

2006: 7-6

2007: 9-7. Lost championship game.

2008: 13-2 Won championship game.

If it actually works, it makes suffering thru losing seasons with no chance, worth it.

was it worth waiting 3 years to accomplish though?

Actually it was as I was looking at the longterm. 2004 and 2005 really sucked though, watching your guys do nothing wweek after week. But then in 2008, rolling over everyone made up for it. I already had 3 championships in the 90s and wantyed to see if I could actually blow a team up and rebuild from sctatch to a championship.

I admire your patience, sir.I have no doubt that strategy can work if used correctly, simply not the type of investment I'm willing to venture into as of now. Perhaps with age I will be more willing to wait multiple years for results.

 

[tdmills]

This is a strategy I'm about to delve into and I think It will prove to be a solid.

Step 1: Try to get undervalued veteran players, guys that aren't flashy because of their age but still have solid amounts of time left.

Step 2: load up on the year afters(in this case 2014) draft picks.

He's doing this in the league i'm with him. Currently owns SIX 1st round picks in the 2014 draft, they're diluted due to it being a 14 team devy league. But Wisc isn't just preaching here, it's what he's doing.
