Yep, I never really understood how people were going to 'grade' the teams.
There's no scheduling obviously, which means no head to head results. So, do you put together a panel that can truly grade the manner in which teams were constructed... being able to truly determine if the 4 people in a team's secondary really is possible or makes sense?
You know... it's very difficult.
If you go off of production, then yeah... you're going to look like fantasy football. That's another difficulty though and a reason I just combined the numbers. It's difficult to grade these guys "as a team"... my QB threw for a ton of yards and TDs, but my WRs/TEs/RBs didn't catch that many yards or score that many TDs, so there is an issue with balance.
I'm not sure what RainMan had in mind...
I was looking at a few teams and their starters (granted from an accumulated points/fantasy football perspective) and a number of times I said "who?"
I admitted early on that I tried to be reasonable in my approach, but I definitely took a fantasy football approach to building the team, especially since there were no contractual or cap limitations to building these teams.
