Interview questions for Joe and David (1 Viewer)

Clayton Gray will use the best of the listed questions (and some of his own) in interview Joe Bryant and David Dodds.

Feel free to ask away in this thread.

 
The game seems to be changing--favoring WRs and QBs and even pass catching TEs, and downplaying RBs. Do you see this as the future trend or more of a temporary fad? Does the lack of a big FA contract for any RB and the lack of a first round rookie RB signal that teams just don't value the position that much anymore? Which of the younger generation of RBs, if any, do you think can buck the trend and be a 300 carry/40+ catch, all around RB for the foreseeable future?

 
Thoughts on your father in law cutting your lawn, unannounced?

That's the one I would have.

 
Did you guys see yourself getting to where you are now back in the day when you were simply "cheatsheets.net"?

With the always improving data and advanced stats we are collecting on college players is watching tape becoming less important? It seems it is next to impossible to watch tape without biases and human error getting in the way. Professional scouts watch the same tape and come to different conclusions all the time. Watching tape has it's place and always will but what do you guys see changing in the future in regards to new and improved scouting methods?

 
The entire staff of FBG is having a meeting in a warehouse when there's an earthquake. You are all trapped indefinitely and have access to water but no food -- which fellow FBG staffer would you vote to eat first?

 
The freemium business model - was that intentional from the start or did you back into it?

What is your thinking on what to go free and what to go pay? Do you have a specific strategy or is it a gut feel type activity?

When you got into freemium, where there any particular sites (ff or not) that you looked at and thought, we could use that.

 
It is no surprise that the world economy has taken a beating the past six years, I am sure that has influenced revenues etc.

With the economy improving, do you believe that the good times are coming back or have many casual fans left the hobby for good?

 
What type of growth are you forecasting for daily (weekly) fantasy football over the next 3-5 years? How much (negative) impact will that growth have on seasonal FF? Accordingly, how do you see FBG content evolving to incorporate this growth?

It wouldn't come to a vote. I bet Sigmund would volunteer. Dude's too nice for his own good.

 
Would FBG's ever add it's own fantasy site. Starting from the ground up, it could be like MFL, without the problems.

 
During the regular season, how many complaints do you average per week?

How many are legitimate and how many are from people that can never be satisfied?

 
If I could ask anything, it would be: what are the top 5 factors in identifying undervalued players in redraft/auction?

If this is just limited to "the direction of Footballguys, mobile, apps. contests, etc.", I think I would ask: in this age of up to the minute information at everyone's fingertips, aside from sheer insight and experience, in the realm of analyzing and delivering information technologically what do you do that adds a competitive advantage over others sites for the FF owner researching on his own?

Btw, thanks for all the great articles, discussion and info over the years.

What do you wish that footballguys offered that it currently doesn't? Are there plans to offer that in the future?

What do you look back as mistakes that you've made through the years? How has that impacted footballguys moving forward?

 
With sites that rank the pros like Fantasypros becoming more popular, and having more experts participating. Do you guys feel added pressure to stay in the top? Have you ever considered having a ranking scale of FBG experts?

I honestly don't expect this question to be included in the interview, but here goes anyway:

Why the severe reluctance to improve upon the Draft Dominator (and it's sister products)?

Joe and David, I know you believe (and so do I) that it's the best fantasy football drafting software out there, but when you have multiple years of requests and suggestions for improving it (in a thread you created Joe) I just don't understand the reluctance to improve it. IT COULD BE SO MUCH BETTER. Just because it's the best doesn't mean it can't be improved upon. Many of the suggestions in that thread are really, really good.

I'll still use it this year obviously, mostly because I can't see myself running and tracking my leagues live draft on my phone with your new DraftGM DD app. I'm a laptop kind of guy for that day long event. Maybe that's why it doesn't matter to you, because you know we'll use it in it's current form anyway?

I don't expect you to change your minds this year, as you've already stated that it won't happen. I am just looking for a concrete reason other than "it's the best" as to why it won't happen.

Thanks for your time,

Rody

As soon as they fix the issues with embedded quotes, then improving DD is next in the queue.

Why is the MYFBG page still linked to 2013 sites when MFL released the 2014 sites back in February?

Just dealt with this yesterday....you need to re-link your site as the new address is different than last years at MFL. Make sure you delete the old link to your 2013 MFL site. My ESPN and CBS sites carried the same addresses, but MFL's changed.

Hope this helps...

I tried last weekend and it said it didn't support 2014 sites. Is that working now?
