Sorry for the confusion. If you look at their names you see they are listed as "blogger" members so I thought that meant they worked for FBG's and therefore were "staff". Sorry for the confusion. My observations still stand however.
injuries are not a a concern as you would know that a player was injured and you would obviously factor that in......but a post season VBD app would not only allow us to see how good FBG's are but it would also allow us to see where we did really good in our drafts and we we made mistakes.......in addition, a post season VBD app would be great for people who are entering new leagues or starting up new ones....you would be able to put in your scoring system and see where guys ended up last year under that type of scoring format.......I think there are som many positives for something like this.....for instance Frank Gore was ranked 23rd at his position and 35th overall in my scoring system before the draft .......but where did he really end up under my scoring system......?
You could download the Draft Dominator and plug in the 2006 stats.There's a link and a process outlined to do this over in the Apps area.VBD does come out of that.
not to sound lazy....but plugging in 2006 stats for every player is a little time consuming....thats why I was suggesting it as something this site could put together since they already have the apps and this is what they spend their time doing in this business......plus if you are in several leagues it would be nice just to be able to plug in different scoring systems....for instance, I will be taking over a team in another league this year.....I would love to be able to plug in the scoring system from that league into the VBD app and see where guys ended up in that league last year.........
It would be nice to customize the scoring system/starting reqs.
Jeter is now a member of the Blogger staff I think
That's a shame. I am new here, but when I read your opinions I really like them. I don't always agree but they are always well thought out. I wish I could get YOUR rankings instead of some others'.Also - since I'm new here I don't really know who is who.... and although it's a pretty cool name I don't think Memphis Foundry is an actual name.
I guess he isn't technically staff either?

Ohhh thanksYour opinions are great too wannabee. You should get on the payroll or something.Steelers homer and resident computer guy, iirc.That's a shame.

Keith Overton is the man we affectionately call "Superman" for he gets some IT / behind the scenes stuff done in record time. It's amazing that he can manage this big of an effort. This board, for example, is one of the biggest message boards around, and I think it is the largest football msg board and also the largest for Invision.Just one example of the work he does to keep this (virtual) place up and running.Steelers homer and resident computer guy, iirc.That's a shame.

But back to the Iron Chef's point. The staff here is excellent, both current and former. You're getting the best info there is from this site. I think it's worth mentioning that another very important part and value fround here is the board. When the "staff" and FBG's come together and share their view and opinions, that's when this site totally rocks. I don't always agree with everyone but I always pay attention and ask myself if someone knows a better way than I do.Then, if you want to really test yourself, play these guys in H2H leagues and find out if you have what it takes. It's a great way to put your skill to the test when you get bored of stealing form the "locals".That's a shame. I am new here, but when I read your opinions I really like them.

I'm betting those leagues are hard to find though.If you come around enough during the season but stay pretty active between January-May while having good things to say, you'll get an invite sooner than later.YesThen, if you want to really test yourself, play these guys in H2H leagues and find out if you have what it takes.

Good point. These guys get invited to a lot of leagues but they can't play in all of them. They have to "know" who they're getting involved with. Getting to know them is worthwhile from my experience.Aside from "staffers" there are a lot FBG's here that are just as good. Check out the "Dating Game Forum" for some possibilities.If you come around enough during the season but stay pretty active between January-May while having good things to say, you'll get an invite sooner than later.YesThen, if you want to really test yourself, play these guys in H2H leagues and find out if you have what it takes.

Good call. I just started a free keep 14 league last year that seems to be comprised of quite a few fellow FBGs. Not staff, but I've I.D.'d a few from the boards. It's a damn good league for being free.Good point. These guys get invited to a lot of leagues but they can't play in all of them. They have to "know" who they're getting involved with.
