I disagree

First, I like the idea of a victory point system. I also like the liberalizing of the IDP make-up. With that said!
What I dislike is that even the dominate IDPs' as a whole score fewer points than average QB's or kickers. What ever happened to "Defense Wins Championships". Not in this league! I see it as Offense first and IDP's are an afterthought! |

True - somewhat

| But it's just not as fun to sit in a sports bar with 12 tv's on (or even at home wih 1 tv on) and try to follow your defensive players. The updates and replays only show them when they score a TD. And though D players are somewhat of an afterthought in this league, they can still win you games and even championships by seperating you from the other good teams just enough to win the close ones. I kind of like the current balance where it's still more fun to follow all the offensive players but if you let your D slide, it's probably going to cost you at some point. 1 point in any given game can be the difference between going to the playoffs or playing golf. For me, although I like watching defensive football, it's much easier and more enjoyable to focus on the offensive players output come game day. If we do want to make them more important and decrees the pool of free agents then I would be willing to go with the 9 player D roster scenario and add 3 more defensive starters - 2 DB's, 2 LB's and 2 DL's each week. This would potentially double your D's scoring making them more important without putting them on the same individual plane as the O guy's. They might also become more important tools in balancing out trades. |

This is a dynasty league

| Maybe so, but why did owners bid between 1/5 to 1/3 of their Quid for a return of 1/10 or less of their teams points. I see no advantage for a team to keep any defensive player for next years team. There goes some of the stratigy that may have played a part in next years draft. |
